rails-engineering

rails-engineering is a cursor rule for Cursor from igmarin/rails-ai-bridge. It costs 352 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of Rails engineering rules covering verification, request security, database queries, authentication, controller changes, and tests. Rails is a Ruby framework for building web applications.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when editing Rails models, controllers, routes, database queries, authentication-related code, or HTTP tests.
Why use it?
It helps prevent guessed project details, unsafe input handling, inefficient database access, and changes that bypass the application's existing conventions.

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

rails-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 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

Engineering essentials

Anti-hallucination rules

  • Verify before you write (column, association, route, helper, gem).

  • Mark assumptions with [ASSUMPTION]. Silent guesses are forbidden.

  • This app is not average Rails. Query conventions and gems before scaffolding.

  • Check the inheritance chain (filters, concerns, STI) before editing a controller or model.

  • Empty tool output is information, not permission to invent.

  • Re-query after writes. Stale tool output lies.

  • Strong params: permit explicitly; never mass-assign raw params.

  • Auth: protect mutations and sensitive reads; public route ≠ public data.

  • N+1: includes / preload / eager_load for associations in views and serializers.

  • Bounds: paginate HTTP lists; find_each / in_batches in jobs; no Model.all in requests.

  • Large tables: narrow queries; check indexes before new filters/sorts; use rails_get_schema.

  • Security: no constantize/send/eval on user input; no SQL string interpolation; allow-list redirects.

  • Tests: request/system specs for HTTP; confirm runner with rails_get_test_info.

Generated files are snapshots — prefer rails_* MCP tools for current structure. Full engineering rules: .github/copilot-instructions.md or AGENTS.md. MCP tool reference: rails-mcp-tools.mdc.

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.
