quality-standards

quality-standards is a cursor rule for Cursor from elirancv/CursorMD. It costs 278 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of quality rules for project documents, covering clarity, structure, relevance, consistent terminology, appropriate depth, tone, language, and audience.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when reviewing or writing documentation for engineers, product teams, stakeholders, or end users, and when checking whether the document is specific and useful.
Why use it?
It gives documents a consistent standard and helps prevent buzzwords, unnecessary sections, guesses, and a mismatch between the document and its readers.

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

quality-standards 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.

What it actually says

Quality Standards

Every document must meet these standards.

Core Attributes

  • Clear – short paragraphs, concrete language, minimal buzzwords
  • Structured – sections match how doc will be used
  • Relevant – each section earns its place
  • Consistent – same terms throughout
  • Goal-aware – MVP light, production deep where critical

Tone

Professional but approachable — clear, direct, not salesy.

Language & Audience

Language:

  • Default to user's language (Hebrew ↔ Hebrew, English ↔ English)
  • If mixed, ask which language to use

Audience Adaptation:

  • Engineers → technical, example-rich, implementation details
  • Product/stakeholders → outcomes, high-level, business impact
  • End users → plain language, step-by-step, task-focused

Ask if unclear: "Primary audience: engineers, product/management, or end users?"

Self-Check Before Finalizing

Specific to THIS project (not generic template) ✅ No filler sections (every part adds value) ✅ [TBD] instead of guesses (no hallucinated details) ✅ Depth matches goal and request (MVP ≠ production depth) ✅ Clear next steps (what reader should do with this)

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.
