naming-standards

naming-standards is a cursor rule for Cursor from jim-schilling/splurge-ai-rules. It costs 6 tokens per session (430 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of naming rules for code, database columns, environment variables, and tests. It specifies patterns for names such as `is_active`, `CsvReader`, and `test_read_valid_csv_returns_data`.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding or reviewing variables, functions, classes, modules, SQL columns, environment variables, or test files and methods.
Why use it?
It removes guesswork when naming new code and makes related files, classes, and tests easier to find and understand.

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

naming-standards 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 9d 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

  • Use descriptive variable names with auxiliary verbs (e.g. is_active, has_permission).
  • Use PascalCase for class, enum, and dataclass names (e.g., DsvReader, CsvWriter, TransformXmlToJson).
  • For SQL, prefer lower case column names.
  • Prefer upper snake case for constant names.
  • Environment variable names MUST use a project prefix [A-Z][A-Z0-9_]*_ (e.g., SPLURGE_DSV_).
  • Test module names should mirror the domains associated with the modules, where DOMAINS is a list of the module's domain names.
  • e.g., for a module that has DOMAINS = ['dsv', 'csv'], the test module should be named test_csv_dsv_[SEQUENCE].py, where [SEQUENCE] is a unique identifier for the test module.
  • Test class names should mirror the class being tested, prefixed with Test.
  • e.g., for a class named CsvReader, the test class should be named TestCsvReader.
  • Test method names should be descriptive and follow the pattern test_[condition]_[expectedResult].
  • e.g., test_read_valid_csv_returns_data, test_read_invalid_csv_raises_exception.
  • Use verbs for function and method names (e.g., get_data, process_file).
  • Use nouns for class and module names (e.g., DataProcessor, file_utils).
  • Use singular nouns for class names (e.g., User, Product).
  • Use plural nouns for collection names (e.g., Users, Products).
  • Test module names should be prefixed with test_ (e.g., test_csv_reader.py).
  • For every code module, there shall be at least one corresponding test module in named test_[module-path]_basic.py, where [module-path] is the module path with dots replaced by underscores, the path will not contain the package name.
  • e.g., for a module named splurge_unittest_to_pytest.converter.helpers, the test module should be named test_converter_helpers_basic.py.

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.
