security-standards

security-standards is a cursor rule for Cursor from jim-schilling/splurge-ai-rules. It costs 6 tokens per session (185 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of secure-coding rules for protecting applications, user data, credentials, and access to systems.

In plain words
What is it for?
It guides input validation, database queries, authentication, permissions, secret storage, file restrictions, logging, error handling, and secure API design.
Why use it?
It helps prevent common problems such as injection attacks, exposed secrets, weak passwords, and unauthorized access.

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

security-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 6d 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

  • Follow secure coding best practices.
  • Validate and sanitize all user inputs to prevent injection attacks (SQL, Shell, XSS, command injection).
  • Use parameterized queries and prepared statements for database operations.
  • Implement proper authentication and authorization mechanisms.
  • Never store sensitive data (passwords, API keys, tokens) in plain text.
  • Follow the principle of least privilege for user permissions and API access.
  • Implement comprehensive error handling without exposing sensitive information.
  • Restrict allowed file types and sizes.
  • Use secure random number generators for cryptographic operations.
  • Implement proper logging without logging sensitive information.
  • Follow OWASP security guidelines and address common vulnerabilities.
  • Use environment variables or secure vaults for configuration secrets.
  • Implement proper password policies and secure password hashing.
  • Follow secure API design principles (proper HTTP methods, versioning, etc.).

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.

security-standards is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository jim-schilling/splurge-ai-rules (3 stars, last pushed 11mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 6 tokens to every session and 185 once invoked, about $0.0000 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.
