cursorrules

A set of Cursor editor rules for working with the Cortex Hub project, including required session setup, project searches, error handling, verification, and session records.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to start and end Cortex Hub sessions, search project context, investigate errors, run build and code-quality checks, and store session knowledge.
Why use it?
It gives an agent a consistent working procedure and preserves useful context between sessions. It also requires checks before finishing work.

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

cursorrules 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 yesterday.

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

Cortex Hub (MANDATORY)

At the START of every conversation:

  1. cortex_session_start with repo: "https://github.com/lktiep/cortex-hub.git", agentId: "cursor", mode: "development"
  2. If recentChanges.count > 0, warn user and git pull
  3. cortex_memory_search + cortex_knowledge_search — recall previous session context

During Work

Use cortex tools before grep/find: code_searchcode_impactcode_context. Fall back to grep only if no results.

Error Protocol

  1. cortex_knowledge_search first — someone may have solved this
  2. Fix the error
  3. Non-obvious fixes: cortex_knowledge_store to save the solution

Ending

  1. Run verify: pnpm build && pnpm typecheck && pnpm lint
  2. cortex_quality_report with results
  3. cortex_memory_store — persist session learnings
  4. cortex_session_end with sessionId and summary
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.
