ifttt-lifecycle

ifttt-lifecycle is a cursor rule for coding agents from IFTTT/ifttt-plugins. It costs 491 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Safety rules for using IFTTT, a service that connects apps and devices into automations called Applets. They require checking exact service details and asking before actions that delete data, send messages, or change devices.

In plain words
What is it for?
Creating, changing, testing, removing, or running IFTTT Applets safely, including handling service connections and copying discovered setup details correctly.
Why use it?
They prevent accidental changes caused by guessed identifiers or unconfirmed actions. They also specify what to do when the IFTTT connection or an account is unavailable.

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

ifttt-lifecycle 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 3d 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

ifttt-lifecycle:

  • Never guess service slugs, trigger/action/query identifiers, or Applet slugs. Always discover them via search_services, get_steps, my_applets, or get_applet first.
  • If the IFTTT MCP server itself is unauthenticated (tools missing, or every call fails with an auth error), do not read or edit config files such as .mcp.json and do not retry in a loop. Direct the user to Cursor Settings → Tools & MCP → Connect next to ifttt, then wait for their confirmation before retrying.
  • create_applet enables the Applet immediately. Summarize what the Applet will do (trigger, actions, and any queries or delay) and get the user's confirmation before creating it.
  • Confirm with the user before calling remove_applet (permanent) or run_action (performs the action for real — messages get sent, devices get switched).
  • Copy step_template from discovery results verbatim when building Applet configs; only fill in account_id and field values. Do not invent field names.
  • When a tool reports a service is not connected or an account is offline, do not retry blindly. Call connect_service, present the returned connect_url or reconnect_url to the user as a link, wait for them to confirm, then retry the original request.
  • On create_applet or edit_applet validation errors, fix the specific fields named in the structured errors and retry once; never resubmit unchanged input.
  • Features gated by subscription (e.g. Filter Code requires Pro+): if a tool reports a plan restriction, tell the user which plan is required and link to https://ifttt.com/plans instead of retrying.
  • For set_applet_filter_code, pass a natural-language description of the desired logic — never raw TypeScript/JavaScript.
  • If an operation on a community Applet responds with made_it_your_own: true, tell the user a new user-owned copy was created and use the returned applet_slug from then on.

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.
