dogfooding

dogfooding is a cursor rule for Cursor from logosdx/monorepo. It costs 0 tokens per session (553 once invoked), scanned A, original, BSD-3-Clause.

A set of rules for using a library to build that same library, within a monorepo—a repository containing multiple related packages. It requires @logosdx/utils and defines different error-handling patterns for failure-prone operations and business logic.

In plain words
What is it for?
Guiding error handling in library code, especially when making network or asynchronous calls. It uses attempt or attemptSync for operations that may fail and direct results for business logic.
Why use it?
It keeps the library's own code aligned with its documented usage patterns. It also provides a consistent way to handle errors from input/output, network, and asynchronous work.

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

dogfooding 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 5d 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.

Dogfooding Standards

Always use @logosdx/utils throughout the monorepo to validate APIs and demonstrate best practices.

Core Principle

  • Fail-prone operations (I/O, network, async) → Use error tuple [result, error]
  • Business logic → Return actual results directly
  • Never use try-catch → Always use attempt/attemptSync

Error Handling Patterns

import { attempt, attemptSync } from '@logosdx/utils'

// ✅ Fail-prone operations (I/O, network, async)
const [result, err] = await attempt(() => fetch('/api/users'))
if (err) return handleError(err)

// ✅ Business logic returns actual results
function modifyUserEmail(user: User, newEmail: string): User {
    if (!isValidEmail(newEmail)) throw new InvalidEmailError()
    return { ...user, email: newEmail }
}

// ✅ Composition
async function updateUserEmail(userId: string, newEmail: string): Promise<User> {
    const [user, fetchErr] = await attempt(() => fetchUser(userId))
    if (fetchErr) throw fetchErr

    const modifiedUser = modifyUserEmail(user, newEmail)

    const [, saveErr] = await attempt(() => saveUser(modifiedUser))
    if (saveErr) throw saveErr

    return modifiedUser
}

Required Utilities

  • Error handling: attempt, attemptSync
  • Data ops: clone, equals, merge, reach
  • Flow control: debounce, throttle, rateLimit, retry, circuitBreaker, withTimeout, batch
  • Validation: assert, assertObject, isObject, isBrowser
  • Performance: memoize, memoizeSync, definePrivateProps

Quick Examples

// Error handling
const [result, err] = await attempt(() => fetch('/api'));
if (err) return handleError(err);

// Data operations
const cloned = clone(complexState);
if (!equals(oldState, newState)) triggerUpdate();

// Flow control
const debouncedSearch = debounce(search, 300);
const resilient = retry(circuitBreaker(apiCall), { retries: 3 });

// Business logic (direct return)
function calculateTotal(items: CartItem[]): number {
    return items.reduce((sum, item) => sum + item.price * item.quantity, 0);
}

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.

dogfooding is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository logosdx/monorepo (7 stars, last pushed 20d ago), licensed BSD-3-Clause. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 553 tokens. 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.
