vibe-engineering

vibe-engineering is a cursor rule for Cursor from glide-the/im-dream. It costs 231 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of coding rules for keeping software parts focused, reusable, and loosely connected. It also requires configurable business values to live in shared settings instead of feature code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding or changing features to check module boundaries, configuration placement, reuse of existing code, and justification for new parallel implementations.
Why use it?
These rules reduce duplicated features, scattered settings, and changes that unexpectedly affect unrelated parts of a project.

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

vibe-engineering 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 12d 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

Vibe Engineering Rules

Architecture Principles

  • Keep modules low-coupled and high-cohesion.
  • Enforce single responsibility per component/service.
  • Reuse existing modules before adding new entities.

Hard-Coding Guardrail

  • Do not hard-code business identifiers, paths, model params, or thresholds in feature code.
  • Store configurable values in centralized config files or settings modules.
  • Any new constant must include source-of-truth location and purpose.

Overlap Guardrail

  • Do not implement duplicate features with parallel code paths.
  • Extend existing workflow if semantics overlap > 70%.
  • If a new implementation is required, record why reuse is not possible.

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.
