researchforge-results

researchforge-results is a cursor rule for Cursor from forger-labs-hq/researchforge. It costs 0 tokens per session (520 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A results-reading guide for summarizing recorded experiments, including rankings, trade-offs, failed attempts, and constraint violations. A Pareto frontier is the set of choices where improving one measured result would worsen another.

In plain words
What is it for?
Explain which variants performed best, show quality-versus-speed or similar trade-offs, report rejection reasons, and point users to an HTML results dashboard.
Why use it?
It keeps conclusions tied to measured evidence and prevents unsupported estimates or quietly ignoring losing experiments.

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

researchforge-results 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 7d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 49 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Read and explain results

researchforge results show <run-id> --json

The JSON contains everything you may talk about: per-experiment measured metrics, baseline deltas, constraint checks, the ranking, the Pareto frontier over direction-inferable metrics, trade-off notes, and caveats.

How to summarize honestly:

  • quote only numbers present in the JSON; never estimate, extrapolate, or fill gaps from memory — if a number is not recorded, say so;
  • include the losers: rejected and failed experiments, with their recorded reasons, are first-class findings;
  • surface every caveat the engine attached (including the one-off-result caveat) — a single full-benchmark win is promising, not validated;
  • when candidates trade off (e.g. quality vs latency), present the frontier and let the user choose; do not silently pick for them.

For a visual overview, researchforge dashboard writes a self-contained HTML dashboard (charts of every experiment vs the baseline, the trade-off scatter with the constraint line, the funnel, and validation spread) to .researchforge/reports/dashboard.html — offer researchforge dashboard --open when the user wants to see the results; it is built from the same recorded data and nothing else. For a live view while runs are in progress, researchforge serve --open starts a local read-only monitor (requires pip install "researchforge[serve]").

If a candidate looks like a winner, the next step is the researchforge-validate rule — repeated runs are what earn the word "validated".

Rules

  • The Python engine is the boundary: never work around a validation error, a protected path, or an approval gate — fix the artifact or ask the user.
  • Approvals belong to the user: never pass --yes or type a confirmation unless the user explicitly approved that step in this conversation.
  • Ground every summary in stored data: quote only numbers returned by --json output or files under .researchforge/ — never invent metrics.

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.

researchforge-results is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository forger-labs-hq/researchforge (7 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 520 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
