aiwg: Cursor rule for Windsurf

.windsurfrules

windsurfrules is a cursor rule for Windsurf from jmagly/aiwg. It costs 101 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of instructions for AI-assisted software development, including specialised agents and structured workflows. The supplied root-level file is deprecated; Windsurf now reads its rules from .windsurf/rules/*.md.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use the current Windsurf rules location to configure AI development workflows across supported coding tools. This entry mainly documents a backward-compatibility file that should be replaced.
Why use it?
The old file may be ignored by Windsurf, so relying on it can leave the intended instructions inactive. The newer location keeps the orchestration rules where Windsurf expects them.

Cursor rule for Windsurf

Written for Windsurf: a Windsurf rule.

This is jmagly/aiwg's own configuration. It tells Windsurf how to work on aiwg itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything aiwg configures →

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

windsurfrules 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

AIWG Rules for Windsurf — Deprecated

This file is deprecated. Windsurf reads .windsurf/rules/*.md natively (see official docs). AIWG orchestration context is now deployed to: .windsurf/rules/aiwg-orchestration.md (trigger: always_on)

This root-level file may be silently ignored by Windsurf. It is retained only for backward compatibility and will be removed in a future release.

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.
