typescript

typescript is a cursor rule for Cursor from girijashankarj/cursor-handbook. It costs 140 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of TypeScript rules for backend code, covering strict type checking, shared type definitions, and API data validation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when writing or reviewing TypeScript services, API request and response types, domain models, and validation at API boundaries.
Why use it?
It helps prevent unsafe values and duplicated types from spreading through a backend. It also sets a clear default check for whether the code is correctly typed.

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

typescript 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 1mo 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

Backend: TypeScript

Strictness

  • Prefer strict mode (strictNullChecks, strict); avoid any; use unknown for unvalidated input.
  • Define interfaces for request/response and domain types; keep them in common or types directories.

Types

  • Export types from a single place per domain (e.g. order.types.ts); avoid duplicating type definitions.
  • Use branded types or Zod/inferred types for validated payloads at the API boundary.

Conventions

  • Run type-check as the default validation step; do not run full test suite without confirmation.
  • Follow backend handler-patterns and code-organization; use explicit return types for public functions.

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.
