ignore-local-temp

ignore-local-temp is a cursor rule for coding agents from jfrog/ai-agent-examples. It costs 105 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A rule that keeps the agent from reading or mentioning files in the local/ and temp/ directories unless the user specifically asks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when projects contain scratch work, local configuration, or temporary data that should stay out of routine analysis.
Why use it?
It prevents private or temporary files from being included in searches and context by accident.

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

ignore-local-temp 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

Ignored Directories

Do not read, search, or reference files in the local/ or temp/ directories unless the user explicitly asks you to look there.

  • Treat these directories as private/scratch space
  • Do not include their contents in search results, context gathering, or file exploration
  • If a task seems to require files from these directories, ask the user before accessing them

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.
