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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00317 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00005 | $0.00159 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00002 | $0.00063 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00001 | $0.00032 |
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 2d 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.
This is a copy
100% identical to cursor-rules — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
What it actually says
Cursor Rules Location
How to add new cursor rules to the project
-
Always place rule files in PROJECT_ROOT/.cursor/rules/:
.cursor/rules/ ├── your-rule-name.mdc ├── another-rule.mdc └── ... -
Follow the naming convention:
- Use kebab-case for filenames
- Always use .mdc extension
- Make names descriptive of the rule's purpose
-
Directory structure:
PROJECT_ROOT/ ├── .cursor/ │ └── rules/ │ ├── your-rule-name.mdc │ └── ... └── ... -
Never place rule files:
- In the project root
- In subdirectories outside .cursor/rules
- In any other location
-
Cursor rules have the following structure:
---
description: Short description of the rule's purpose
globs: optional/path/pattern/**/*
alwaysApply: false

# Rule Title
Main content explaining the rule with markdown formatting.
1. Step-by-step instructions
2. Code examples
3. Guidelines
Example:
```typescript
// Good example
function goodExample() {
// Implementation following guidelines
}
// Bad example
function badExample() {
// Implementation not following guidelines
}
```
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.

cursor-rules is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository gabimoncha/cursor-rules-cli (50 stars, last pushed 1y ago), licensed MIT. It adds 10 tokens to every session and 317 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to cursor-rules, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
