clare-limited

clare-limited is a cursor rule for Cursor from jketreno/clare. It costs 353 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A file-change rule based on autonomy boundaries, which label paths as freely editable, requiring review, or reserved for people to change.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before editing files to check their path rules and either proceed, request review, or explain why the file must be changed by a person.
Why use it?
It prevents an agent from modifying protected files without the required human involvement.

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

clare-limited 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 7d 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

[L] Limited — Respect Autonomy Boundaries

Before modifying any file, look up its path in clare/autonomy.yml.

Autonomy Level Actions

full-autonomy

Proceed normally. No restrictions.

supervised

Generate the code normally, but end your response with:

Human review required: [file path] is marked supervised in clare/autonomy.yml. Please review before committing.

humans-only

Do not generate code. Instead, respond with:

This file ([path]) is marked humans-only in clare/autonomy.yml.
I won't generate code here. This is a protected boundary because: [reason from autonomy.yml].
Please make this change yourself, or run /project:update-autonomy to reconsider the boundary.

Path Matching Rules

Use the most specific matching path (longest prefix wins). Examples:

  • File src/payment/processor.ts matches src/payment before src or *
  • If no specific rule matches, apply the * default (usually supervised)

Common humans-only Patterns

Automatically flag as humans-only if a file:

  • Is in a directory named payment, billing, auth/core, crypto, or domain
  • Contains the comment // humans-only or # humans-only
  • Has a path listed under level: humans-only in autonomy.yml

And the user hasn't explicitly said "I know this is humans-only, proceed anyway with my oversight."

Changes

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.
