onboarding.rules

onboarding.rules is a cursor rule for Cursor from drumnation/unsplash-smart-mcp-server. It costs 165 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A rule for keeping an `ONBOARDING.md` file up to date. This file is a step-by-step guide that helps new developers install requirements, configure the project, and run its applications.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when changing environment requirements, onboarding steps, applications, package links, required accounts, or configuration; update the guide with the affected commands and prerequisites.
Why use it?
It prevents setup documentation from becoming outdated when tools, environment variables, applications, services, or startup commands change.

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

onboarding.rules 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 5d 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.

What it actually says

Rule: Auto-generate and maintain ONBOARDING.md

Purpose: Provide new developers with an always up-to-date guide to set up their environment and get running fast.

When to run:

  • When environment requirements change (e.g., Node version, Docker setup)
  • When onboarding steps change (e.g., new .env vars, setup commands)
  • When any new app or package is added that needs manual linking or config

Include:

  • Prerequisites (OS, tools, package managers)
  • Environment setup (.env, keys, accounts)
  • How to run each app (with pnpm Nx or standalone)
  • Required accounts/services (e.g., Supabase, Vercel)

Format: Step-by-step markdown format with command snippets.

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.
