project-structure

A command-line tool for setting up and checking Cursor IDE rule files, which tell Cursor how to work in a project. It can also create a compact XML summary of a codebase using Repomix.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to initialize rule templates, audit existing rules, summarise a repository for AI assistants, and add shell tab-completion.
Why use it?
It reduces the manual work of creating project guidance and helps find malformed or potentially unsafe rule files.

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.

Made for: Cursor.

Per session 6 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 1,081 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan A 0 findings. Scan, not verified.
Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
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

project-structure 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.

Cursor Rules CLI

A command-line tool for bootstrapping and maintaining Cursor IDE rule files in any project, offering interactive setup, auditing, and repository summarisation via Repomix.

Purpose

Provide developers with an easy-to-use CLI that:

  1. Installs default and community Cursor rules into the current repository.
  2. Generates a compact XML snapshot of the codebase using Repomix so AI assistants get rich context.
  3. Audits and sanitises existing rule files for potential security issues.
  4. Offers quality-of-life features such as shell-completion, version checks, and update notifications.

Key features

  • 🚀 Interactive init – guided prompts to install rule templates and (optionally) run Repomix.
  • 🧩 Template library – ships with default rules plus [awesome-cursorrules] templates.
  • 🔍 Audit & Scan – detect and optionally fix vulnerable or malformed rule files.
  • 🪄 Repomix integration – create repomix-output.xml & repomix.config.json with sensible defaults.
  • 🖥 Shell completion – install/uninstall tab-completion for supported shells.
  • 📦 Workspaces ready – published as a Bun package, compiled to ESM JavaScript.

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.

project-structure is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository gabimoncha/cursor-rules-cli (50 stars, last pushed 1y ago), licensed MIT. It adds 6 tokens to every session and 1,081 once invoked, about $0.0000 per session on Opus 5. 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 2026-08-30.
