language-agnostic

language-agnostic is a cursor rule for Cursor from madebyaris/rakitui-ai. It costs 2,308 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of programming rules that apply across languages, including code organization, reusable designs, and architecture decisions. It also promotes checking work by building, linting, running, and testing it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to choose project setup commands, organize modules, apply SOLID principles, check package compatibility, and verify code before committing.
Why use it?
It provides common guidance when the project language is not the main concern and reduces mistakes from creating files or using packages without checking the existing project first.

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

language-agnostic 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 6d 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.

Language-Agnostic Programming Patterns

Universal principles and patterns applicable across all programming languages.

CRITICAL: Development Workflow

CLI-First Principle

Before manually creating ANY file, check if a CLI tool exists:

Task Check for CLI Example
New project Scaffolding CLI npm create, cargo new, flutter create
New component Generator CLI npx shadcn-ui add, ng generate, rails generate
New module Framework CLI nest generate module
Dependencies Package manager npm install, pip install

Verification-First Principle

Code is not done until it's verified:

1. Write code
2. Build/compile: Does it compile?
3. Lint: Are there warnings?
4. Run: Does it execute?
5. Test: Does it work correctly?

Version-Aware Development

Always verify package versions before using:

<think>
Before using package X:
1. What's the current stable version?
2. Is it compatible with my other dependencies?
3. Are there known issues?
</think>

→ web_search("[package] latest stable version [current month year]")

SOLID Principles

Single Responsibility Principle (SRP)

A class/module should have only one reason to change.

Apply when:

  • A function does multiple unrelated things
  • A class has too many dependencies
  • Changes in one area affect unrelated code

Example Pattern:

Bad:  UserService handles auth, profile, notifications, and billing
Good: AuthService, ProfileService, NotificationService, BillingService

Open/Closed Principle (OCP)

Open for extension, closed for modification.

Apply when:

  • Adding new features requires modifying existing code
  • Switch statements grow with each new type
  • Core logic changes for edge cases

Example Pattern:

Bad:  if type == "email" ... elif type == "sms" ... elif type == "push" ...
Good: NotificationStrategy interface with EmailStrategy, SMSStrategy, PushStrategy

Liskov Substitution Principle (LSP)

Subtypes must be substitutable for their base types.

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.

language-agnostic is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository madebyaris/rakitui-ai (5 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 2,308 tokens to every session, about $0.0115 per session on Opus 5. 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.
