common-commands

common-commands is a cursor rule for Cursor from golid-ai/golid. It costs 0 tokens per session (681 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A project rule for choosing documented command-line commands during development, deployment, debugging, testing, migrations, and Google Cloud Platform operations. It points agents to the repository's command catalogue.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before running non-trivial shell commands, especially for builds, tests, deployments, Git work, database migrations, and GCP tasks.
Why use it?
It prevents agents from inventing risky or slightly different commands when the project already has known-good ones. If a documented command fails, it tells them to diagnose that failure instead of trying random alternatives.

Getting it into your agent

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

common-commands 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 — 55 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Common Commands

Thesis: Shared commands should be discoverable, copy-safe, and tied to current project scripts so agents do not invent risky shell invocations.

This is an activation rule, not the command catalog. When a task needs a concrete command for local development, deployment, debugging, GCP, Git, tests, builds, migrations, or contract validation, read docs/cli-reference.md and use the project-specific command there instead of inventing an equivalent shell snippet.

Command Selection Protocol

  1. Read the catalog first. If the task is nontrivial shell work, check docs/cli-reference.md before running commands.
  2. Run the known-good command exactly, from the documented directory. Do not substitute nearby tools (npx package names, alternate test flags, one-off scripts) unless the known command fails.
  3. One failure → diagnose, don't probe. If a known command fails, inspect the concrete error and either fix that cause or report the blocker. Do not try a chain of equivalent commands hoping one works.
  4. Prefer compile/smoke checks when full commands are unsafe. For example, compile integration-tagged packages with go test -tags=integration ... -run '^$' when TEST_DATABASE_URL is not confirmed safe.
  5. Tell the user what was not run. If a command is skipped because it is destructive, unavailable, or environment-dependent, say so in the closeout.

When to Use

  • Starting or debugging local services.
  • Running tests, builds, migrations, or seed commands.
  • Inspecting GCP logs, secrets, deploy status, or storage.
  • Running webhook or external API test commands.
  • Checking what needs to be pushed.
  • Validating generated contracts such as backend/openapi.yaml.

Known Command Pitfalls

Do Not Use Use Instead Why
python python3 The dev container does not provide python; repeated probes waste time.
grep, find, cat, head, tail Cursor tools: rg, Glob, ReadFile Tooling rules already provide safer, faster search/read paths.
npx --yes @apidevtools/swagger-cli ... npm run generate:types from frontend/, or a repo-local parser if type generation is too heavy npx can fail in Cursor's server path; generated API types are the contract smoke test this repo already uses.
go test -tags=integration ... without checking env Untagged go test, or go test -tags=integration <pkg> -run '^$' for compile-only, unless TEST_DATABASE_URL is confirmed safe Integration tests can wipe the dev DB.
git add -A Stage explicit files Avoid sweeping unrelated user changes into commits.

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.

common-commands is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository golid-ai/golid (40 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 681 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 2026-08-30.
