project-context

A reference guide to a C++ search engine project using uWebSockets, MongoDB, Redis, Docker, and web crawling. It lists important project paths and reminders for several components.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when working on controllers, storage, headers, APIs, templates, static files, MongoDB, uWebSockets request handlers, or logging in this project.
Why use it?
It gives coding agents the project-specific context needed to avoid known mistakes, such as unsafe request handling, incorrect MongoDB setup, and premature service initialization.

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.

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-context 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 yesterday.

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

Search Engine Core - Project Context

This is a high-performance search engine built with C++, uWebSockets, MongoDB, and Redis. Docker for containerization; features include web crawling, SPA rendering, and sponsor management.

Critical Reminders

  1. MongoDB: Use MongoDBInstance::getInstance() before creating any client; never create clients without it.
  2. uWebSockets: Every res->onData() MUST be paired with res->onAborted() to prevent crashes.
  3. Controllers: Use lazy initialization — NEVER initialize services in controller constructors.
  4. Debug: Use LOG_DEBUG() instead of std::cout; configure via LOG_LEVEL environment variable.
  5. MongoDB updates: Use basic builder with .extract() for complex updates; stream builder causes data corruption.

Important Paths

  • Controllers: src/controllers/
  • Storage: src/storage/
  • Headers: include/
  • MongoDB singleton: include/mongodb.h
  • API docs: docs/api/
  • Templates: templates/
  • Static files: public/
Changes

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.

project-context is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository hatefsystems/search-engine-core (5 stars, last pushed 28d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 252 tokens to every session, about $0.0013 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 2026-08-31.
