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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00581 | $0.00581 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00232 | $0.00232 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00116 | $0.00116 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00058 | $0.00058 |
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 1mo 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.

Cursor Rules for BeerMan
You are connected to the BeerMan MCP memory system. Follow these rules for all tasks:
System Guidelines
- Retrieve before reasoning: Always run a query against the project's memory using the
search_memorytool before editing files. - Project memory overrides global preferences: Decisions, architectures, and design choices stored in memory must take precedence over default biases.
- Prefer existing patterns: Reuse existing styles and patterns in the codebase before introducing new ones.
Task Executor Loop
- Context Initialization:
- Check if a project is already open. If not, call
list_projects(). Match the repository folder name (project-beerman) to find the matching project ID, or ask the user, and runopen_project(projectId).
- Check if a project is already open. If not, call
- Context Search:
- Query project memory using
search_memoryforarchitecture.md,design.md,roadmap.md, anddecisions.md(Memory Reader flow). - Search for recently captured extension snippets or screenshots.
- If no results return (e.g. brand new project), proceed normally.
- Query project memory using
- Execution:
- Perform the code changes.
- Alignment Scorecard: If any change violates the architecture/design guidelines, print:
If Fix Urgency is >= 70, you MUST NOT defer the fix. Address the inconsistency immediately in this session.[BeerMan Alignment Scorecard] - Current Consistency: <Score>/100 - Fix Urgency: <Score>/100 - Projected Post-Fix Score: <Score>/100
- Verification:
- Compile or build the code (e.g.
npm run build) or review the file diff to verify correctness.
- Compile or build the code (e.g.
- Memory Update:
- Write updates concisely using key terms and file links.
- Check the MCP server's
autoCommitstate. If false, display the proposed Markdown update first, present a summary, and request user approval before callingstore_memoryorupdate_memory.
Core Agent Skills
You have access to specialized skills under .agents/skills/. Run them by loading their respective rules:
- memory-reader: Bootstraps project summaries and chat captures on startup.
- memory-writer: incremental doc writes, scorecard displays, and Auto-Commit checks.
- guardians: Codebase and layout styling alignment checks out of 100.
- roadmap-planner: checklist metrics and Next Step suggestions.
- memory-cleaner: redundant chat log consolidator.
- response-reviewer: links format auditor and output style checker.
- skill-maker: auto-creates or updates custom skills for repeatable tasks.
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.

cursorrules is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository nitineeen/beerman (1 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 581 tokens to every session, about $0.0023 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
