project-context

A project-memory rule that tells coding agents to read and maintain a repository's MASTER_CONTEXT.md file. That file stores project-specific details such as brand guidance, defaults, costs, and past API findings.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it at the start of substantial work in the repository and after major workflow, API, or brand changes to load or update project context.
Why use it?
It keeps future work aligned with decisions and facts already learned about the project. It also flags missing setup or context and records significant changes in a dated changelog.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

project-context 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

Project context

  • If .env or MASTER_CONTEXT.md do not exist, tell the user to run ./scripts/setup.sh.
  • At the start of substantive work in this repo, read MASTER_CONTEXT.md at the repository root for brand voice, credit costs, default product, and API learnings.
  • If MASTER_CONTEXT.md has empty fields (credit costs, default product), offer to populate them — ask the user and write the values back.
  • After significant changes (new workflows, verified Arcads behaviors, brand updates), append a short dated entry to the Changelog section in MASTER_CONTEXT.md.
  • For Arcads HTTP usage, prompts, and polling, follow .cursor/skills/arcads-external-api/SKILL.md and linked reference.md.
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.
