dates-le: Cursor rule for Cursor

.cursorrules

cursorrules is a cursor rule for Cursor from nolindnaidoo/dates-le. It costs 410 tokens per session, scanned A, a copy of project, MIT.

A short rules file that sends coding agents to AGENTS.md for the full engineering standard, while listing rules such as early returns, limited nesting, immutable data, and separated user-interface logic.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before writing code in the repository, particularly when working with architecture, error handling, commits, tests, or VS Code user-interface code.
Why use it?
It keeps the main rules in one shared document so instructions do not drift between coding tools.

Cursor rule for Cursor

Written for Cursor: installed under .cursor/. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions AGENTS.md.

This is nolindnaidoo/dates-le's own configuration. It tells Cursor how to work on dates-le itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything dates-le configures →

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

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.

Origin

This is a copy

94% identical to project — 9 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.

What it actually says

Contributor and agent instructions

Read AGENTS.md before writing any code. It carries the engineering standard this repository is held to — control flow, error handling, immutability, structure — plus the architecture, the invariants and why each one exists. CLAUDE.md is the short version: gates and traps.

This file exists only to route you there. It is deliberately thin: the standard lives in one place so it cannot drift between tools.

Non-negotiables

  • Guard clauses first. No else, no else if — two branches are an early return, many are a lookup table.
  • Nesting stops at two levels inside a function.
  • Immutable by default: readonly, ReadonlyArray, Object.freeze. Never mutate a parameter.
  • Composition, never inheritance. Factory functions returning frozen objects, dependencies passed in as a typed bag.
  • Logic never touches vscode.window.*; ui/ renders and commands/ orchestrates.
  • Never report success you did not achieve — check what the API returned.
  • Errors are descriptive and never swallowed.
  • Comments explain why, never what.
  • Commits are conventional (fix:, feat:, docs:…), imperative, and enforced by a hook and by CI.

Before you commit

bun run typecheck && bun run lint && bun run test

Coverage floors are a backstop against an untested module, not a target: they sit well below where the code actually is and are never raised to track it. Every claim in a README or manifest must be provable against the code.

Provable is about behaviour and numbers, not availability. An install line for a release you are about to make is staged, not forbidden — write it, and let the release commit be what makes it true.

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.
