cursorrules

Project rules for a specification-driven development workflow, where written requirements guide the work. They define commands, task tracking with Beads, guarded edits, test-driven development, typing, coverage, and commit requirements.

In plain words
What is it for?
Planning and executing features through the listed workflow commands, activating edit permissions, tracking tasks, and enforcing project quality rules.
Why use it?
They keep changes tied to an approved workstream and make the development process and quality checks consistent.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

cursorrules 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 yesterday.

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

SDP Project Rules

This project uses Spec-Driven Protocol (SDP) v0.9.0.

Beads (SDP Development)

This repo develops SDP. Beads is ENABLED and MANDATORY here:

  • Before @build: bd update {beads_id} --status in_progress
  • After @build: bd sync before commit
  • After @design: sdp beads migrate docs/workstreams/backlog/ --real

For other projects using SDP: Beads is optional (skills check bd + .beads/).

Commands

Use skills for all work:

  • @vision — Strategic product planning
  • @reality — Codebase analysis
  • @feature — Plan feature (idea + design)
  • @idea — Gather requirements
  • @design — Plan workstreams
  • @build — Execute workstream (guard enforced)
  • @oneshot — Autonomous feature execution
  • @review — Quality review
  • @deploy — Production deployment

Guard Enforcement

All edits require active workstream:

sdp guard activate {PP-FFF-SS}  # Before editing
sdp guard check {file}          # Verify allowed

Critical Rules

Forbidden:

  • Files > 200 LOC
  • TODO without WS
  • Edit without active WS

Required:

  • TDD (Red -> Green -> Refactor)
  • Coverage >= 80%
  • Type hints / strict typing
  • Conventional commits

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.
