cursorrules

A set of coding rules for TypeScript, Node.js, and REST APIs, including project structure, API clients, error handling, and tests. TypeScript is JavaScript with extra checks that help catch mistakes before running code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when building or reviewing TypeScript API clients and Node.js services. It guides endpoint organization, async requests, public documentation, configurable options, and unit tests.
Why use it?
It gives consistent standards for new code and API responses. It also clarifies how to handle nullable data, pagination, rate limits, and endpoint tests.

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.

Origin

This is a copy

89% identical to cursorrules — 6 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

You are an expert in TypeScript, Node.js, and RESTful API development.

TypeScript Standards

  • Use TypeScript for all new code; avoid any any types
  • Prefer interfaces over types for API response objects
  • Use type predicates and guards to handle nullable values rather than type assertions
  • Export well-defined response types for all API endpoints
  • Use descriptive variable names that reflect the API terminology

Code Structure

  • Keep files focused on a single responsibility
  • Separate API endpoint functions by category (search, trending, random, etc.)
  • Use async/await for all API requests, not Promises with .then()
  • Handle rate limiting and error responses consistently
  • Include JSDoc comments for all public methods and interfaces

API Client Design

  • Ensure all API endpoints support the full range of parameters from API
  • Include proper pagination support for endpoints that return multiple results
  • Use reasonable defaults for optional parameters
  • Make the client configurable with options like rating, language, etc.
  • Implement proper error handling with custom error types

Testing Standards

  • Write unit tests for all API endpoint functions
  • Use mocks for external API calls in tests
  • Include integration tests that validate against real API responses
  • Test error handling scenarios like rate limiting and invalid API keys
  • Ensure all public interfaces have test coverage

Performance Considerations

  • Implement request caching where appropriate
  • Support both ESM and CommonJS module formats
  • Keep dependencies minimal and up-to-date
  • Ensure the package has a small bundle size
  • Support tree-shaking for modular imports

Documentation

  • Keep README examples up-to-date with the current API
  • Include TypeDoc documentation for all public interfaces
  • Document rate limiting considerations
  • Provide usage examples for each API endpoint category
  • Include sample response objects in documentation

Best Practices

  • Favor immutable objects over mutable ones
  • Use private class fields to hide implementation details
  • Implement proper parameter validation before making API requests
  • Use URL builder helper functions to construct API URLs
  • Apply consistent error handling patterns throughout the codebase

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.
