nexus

nexus is a cursor rule for Cursor from DorianSchlede/nexus-template. It costs 163 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

An operating entry point for the Nexus system that loads project context before the agent responds.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it at startup and when resuming work; if loading fails, follow the listed files as a manual fallback.
Why use it?
It gives the agent the required project instructions, memory, and active work before it starts or resumes a session.

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

nexus 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 3d 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.

Manual Fallback

If nexus-load fails, read these files in order:

  3. 02-builds/active/ — Work in progress

Then follow the orchestrator instructions.

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.
