project-context

project-context is a cursor rule for Cursor from mhmdreza-rafiei/agent-tools. It costs 432 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of rules for keeping project notes and agent instructions accurate across coding tasks.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps read and update files such as AGENTS.md, README.md, and context documents when a task changes information future agents need.
Why use it?
It prevents agents from working with outdated information about the codebase, architecture, decisions, and unfinished work.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

project-context 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 8d 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

Project context

Keep shared context accurate so stateless agents stay aligned.

When this applies

The project has any of:

  • context/ folder
  • AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, or README.md used as agent context
  • docs/ or other docs agents rely on for architecture, setup, or decisions

If none exist and the project is non-trivial, offer /groundwork to scaffold context.

Before work

  1. Read AGENTS.md if present.
  2. Read relevant context/ files — start with overview.md and architecture.md.
  3. Check context/memory/progress.md for handoff state when resuming work.

After every task or action

Before you finish, update context when the task changed anything a future agent needs:

  • Architecture, boundaries, folder structure, or data flow
  • Standards, patterns, or conventions
  • Plan, milestones, or decisions
  • Dependencies, integrations, or build steps
  • Current state, blockers, or follow-ups

Skip updates for trivial changes with no lasting impact (typos, comment-only edits, pure formatting).

How to update

Target Action
context/ (any create, edit, add, delete) Read and follow the groundwork skill. Treat every change as /groundwork update: merge and improve — never make context thinner or vaguer.
context/memory/progress.md Update for session handoff when work spans sessions or leaves follow-ups.
Other project docs Update only affected files. Do not duplicate Build, Skills, or References outside AGENTS.md.

Ground rules

  1. Verify against code before encoding — trust code over stale docs.
  2. Mark unverified claims as > NEEDS VERIFICATION.
  3. Preserve human edits; deepen and correct, do not clobber.
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.
