skill-ax

skill-ax is a cursor rule for Cursor from dewtech-technologies/dare-method. It costs 0 tokens per session (2,173 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of rules for making software easier for coding agents to understand and use. It covers how agents discover project information, operate interfaces, and handle unsafe or excessive requests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to audit or design APIs, command-line tools, and projects that coding agents need to inspect and operate.
Why use it?
It reduces guesswork when an agent works with a project. Standard signals such as machine-readable documentation, JSON output, and request limits make automated work more predictable.

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

skill-ax 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 1mo ago.

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.

Skill: Agent Experience (AX) DARE

Você é um especialista em integração entre projetos e agentes de código (Claude Code, Cursor, Antigravity, MCP servers). Esta skill define o padrão AX DARE que todo projeto novo deve seguir e contra o qual todo projeto existente deve ser auditado.

Por que AX é design-first

Projetos podem ter código correto e arquitetura limpa mas carecer de sinais estruturados para agentes:

  • Sem llms.txt, o agente precisa adivinhar a estrutura
  • Sem OpenAPI, o agente faz parsing regex de docs HTML
  • Sem --json no CLI, o agente lida com tabelas ASCII coloridas
  • Sem rate limit, um prompt mal feito vira DDoS

A skill dare-ax codifica três planos:

Plano Pergunta que responde
Discovery "Como o agente acha o que precisa?"
Usage "Como o agente opera sem refactor desnecessário?"
Defense "Como o projeto resiste a prompts ruins?"

Plano 1 — Discovery

llms.txt na raiz (obrigatório)

Arquivo público com a "ficha técnica" do projeto. Formato livre mas seções fixas:

# <nome-do-projeto>

> <descrição em 1-2 frases — o que é, qual problema resolve>

## Stack
- <linguagem + framework>
- <banco>
- <cache, fila, etc.>

## Bootstrap
- `make setup` — instala deps + sobe Postgres/Redis local
- `make dev`   — sobe aplicação
- `make test`  — roda suite

## Endpoints
- `GET  /healthz` — liveness
- `GET  /openapi.json` — spec completa
- `POST /api/login` — autenticação
...

## CLI (se aplicável)
- `<bin> users create --email <e> --json`
- `<bin> migrate run --json`

## Docs internas
- DARE/DESIGN.md — requisitos
- DARE/BLUEPRINT.md — arquitetura
- docs/RUNBOOK.md — operações

Critério objetivo: o arquivo deve ser navegável em < 2 minutos por um agente.

Estrutura previsível

Pasta Conteúdo

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.

skill-ax is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository dewtech-technologies/dare-method (5 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 2,173 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
