desire-evaluator

desire-evaluator is a cursor rule for Cursor from MaxKmet/idea-validation-agents. It costs 27 tokens per session (65 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of rules for rating how strongly an idea appeals to basic human motivations such as survival, status, belonging, control, and curiosity.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to evaluate an idea’s appeal across these motivations and identify which human needs it addresses.
Why use it?
It provides a structured way to examine why people might want a product instead of judging demand only by intuition.

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

desire-evaluator 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 4d 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 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.
