code-conventions

A general coding-style guide for TypeScript projects, including file names, comments, tests, type checking, and interface design. TypeScript is JavaScript with added type information that helps catch mistakes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding or modifying TypeScript, React UI, database types, tests, or project files. It also specifies checks such as pnpm typecheck and conventions for Tailwind, shadcn/ui, icons, and Kysely.
Why use it?
It gives developers shared rules for writing and checking code, reducing inconsistent structure and avoidable type or interface errors.

Cursor rule for Cursor

Install

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.

Made for: Cursor.

Per session 0 Nothing until a file matches its globs; then the whole rule loads.
When invoked 312 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan A 0 findings. Scan, not verified.
Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
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

code-conventions 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 2d 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

Code Conventions

When writing or modifying code in this project, please adhere to the following conventions:

  1. TypeScript Best Practices: Follow standard, idiomatic TypeScript coding practices for structure, naming, and types, unless otherwise overridden.
  2. Minimal Comments: Avoid adding comments unless they explain complex logic or non-obvious decisions. Well-written, self-explanatory code is preferred. Do not add comments that merely restate what the code does.
  3. Tests as Documentation: Rely on comprehensive tests (which will be added later if not present) to document the behavior and usage of the code, rather than extensive comments within the code itself.
  4. File naming conventions: Use kebab-case when naming directories, TypeScript, and other files.
  5. Type checking: after major modifications run pnpm typecheck and fix any errors.
  6. UX/UI We are using Tailwind CSS, React, shadcn/ui components and Lucide React icons. Generate responsive designs. Provide default props for React Components. Check to see if a shadcn component exists under components/ui before installing it.
  7. Models/db/tables When pulling in a database type, Kysely.
  8. Open-source conventions Pretend you are writing code for a open-source project. Write best-in-class code.
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.

code-conventions is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository maccman/ai-expo-starter-template (4 stars, last pushed 11mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 312 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.
