global

A project rule file that tells coding agents how to work in this codebase, including the required languages, tools, styling approach, and error-handling library.

In plain words
What is it for?
Guiding implementation, formatting, checking, linting, and error handling in a TypeScript and Svelte 5 project using Bun and Tailwind CSS.
Why use it?
It keeps generated changes consistent with the project's conventions and limits which commands the agent should run.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

global scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Guidelines for working on this project:

  • Always use typescript
  • Always use svelte 5 and the modern features
  • Always use bun as the package manager
  • Do NOT write explicit return types for functions (unless there is a VERY good reason)
  • Do NOT add unit tests unless explicitly asked to
  • The only project specific commands you are allowed to run are:
    • bun check to check for type errors
    • bun format to format the code
    • bun lint to lint the code
  • Always use tailwind css (tailwind v4 to be clear) unless there is something you need to do that tailwind doesn't support
  • When handling errors, use the neverthrow library to handle errors
  • Be extremely concise. Sacrifice grammar for the sake of concision.
Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
