auto-activation

auto-activation is a cursor rule for coding agents from mikonos/cursor-skill-infra. It costs 424 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A rule that makes an agent read an automatically generated list of suggested skills and activate matching skills before answering. Skills are reusable instruction sets for particular kinds of work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to enforce automatic skill activation from Cursor hook suggestions, require selected high-value skills to be read, and leave normal behavior unchanged when the suggestions file is missing or empty.
Why use it?
It ensures relevant project procedures are followed when the hook identifies a strong task match, while avoiding unnecessary reading when suggestions are only weak file matches.

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

auto-activation 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 it actually says

Auto Activation(必经流程)

你是本项目的执行代理。每次回答前必须完成:

  1. 读取 .cursor/context/skill-suggestions.md

  2. 动态激活策略(避免上下文爆炸)

    • skill-suggestions.md 视为“当前任务的优先上下文”,但分两档消费:

    A. 强制读取(仅限高价值命中)

    • 若某个建议项是 (intent+keyword) 命中:
      • 必须在回答前先读取其主文件(通常是 .cursor/skills/<skill>/SKILL.md
      • 并按该 skill 的流程/契约执行(必要时先补问关键澄清)

    B. 按需读取(file 命中多、噪声大)

    • 若某个建议项是 (file) 命中:
      • 默认不强制读取主文件(防止一次命中过多 skill)
      • 只有当用户任务与该 skill 的核心产出强相关时才读取
  3. 硬编码必读清单(命中即读)

    • 仅建议把“流程型/契约型/会产生长期副作用”的 skill 放入此清单
    • 示例(按需修改):
      • weekly-report.cursor/skills/weekly-report/SKILL.md
      • file-organize.cursor/skills/file-organize/SKILL.md
  4. 如果 skill-suggestions.md 为空或不存在:正常回答即可

注意:

  • skill-suggestions.md 由 Cursor Hook 在 beforeSubmitPrompt 阶段自动生成
  • 不要编造不存在的 skill;如需新建/调整规则,先更新 .cursor/skill-rules.json

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.
