cursor-rules

cursor-rules is a cursor rule for Cursor from edochi/mdvs. It costs 452 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of instructions for a coding agent working with an mdvs markdown knowledge base. It tells the agent how to search notes, validate their metadata, and respond to validation warnings.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps an agent find notes by meaning, check frontmatter fields, and handle schema violations while editing a markdown knowledge base.
Why use it?
It keeps the agent from using less suitable file searches or ignoring problems in note metadata. It also explains when a warning means a file should be fixed and when the schema should 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

cursor-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 10d 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

mdvs knowledge base

This project uses mdvs to manage a markdown knowledge base with a schema defined in mdvs.toml. When working with files in this KB:

  • Prefer mdvs search "<query>" over Grep / Glob for content lookups. mdvs runs semantic / hybrid / SQL-filtered search over the KB — usually a better fit than literal pattern matching for finding notes by meaning. Filter by frontmatter with --where "field = 'value'" and pick the mode with --mode semantic|fulltext|hybrid.
  • mdvs check validates frontmatter against the schema. A postToolUse hook may surface violations to you automatically as a markdown block under additionalContext in the hook output. Treat that block as a warning, not a block — the agent's edit already landed; the warning is for you to act on next.
  • When a violation reaches you, decide:
    1. Mistake (a typo, the wrong type by accident, a dropped required field) → fix the file in the next turn.
    2. Intentional deviation (the KB is evolving, a category genuinely needs a new variant, a field is shifting type) → surface the deviation to the user and propose updating mdvs.toml to absorb the change. Do not silently fix the file; the user decides whether the schema or the file is wrong.

The schema is meant to evolve with the KB. Enforcement follows the KB's shape, it does not freeze it. Whenever you propose a schema update, also explain why — which file(s) drove the change and what convention the user might want to standardise on.

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.
