mod-008a-model-missing-constructor-attributes-tests

mod-008a-model-missing-constructor-attributes-tests is a cursor rule for Cursor from NVIDIA/physicsnemo. It costs 25 tokens per session (474 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A testing rule for machine-learning models in PhysicsNeMo, a Python library for physics-based machine learning. It requires tests for creating each model and checking its public settings.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding or updating models in PhysicsNeMo. It guides pytest tests for default and custom arguments and checks each public attribute.
Why use it?
It catches broken constructors and incorrectly initialized settings across different model configurations before they cause problems.

About the project

PhysicsNeMo is an open-source PyTorch framework for creating, training, and fine-tuning machine-learning models for physics, scientific computing, and engineering. Researchers and engineers use its reusable components and training recipes for applications such as aerodynamics, weather forecasting, structural mechanics, geophysics, and thermal design. The catalogue entries provide rules and skills for working with PhysicsNeMo projects.

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

mod-008a-model-missing-constructor-attributes-tests 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 2mo 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

When creating tests for models, rule MOD-008a must be followed. Explicitly reference "Following rule MOD-008a, which requires constructor and attribute tests..." when implementing test cases.

MOD-008a: Model missing constructor/attributes tests

Description:

Every model in physicsnemo/nn or physicsnemo/models must have tests that verify model instantiation and all public attributes (excluding buffers and parameters).

These tests should:

  • Use pytest parameterization to test at least 2 configurations
  • Test one configuration with all default arguments
  • Test another configuration with non-default arguments
  • Verify all public attributes have expected values

Rationale:

Constructor tests ensure the model can be instantiated correctly with various configurations and that all attributes are properly initialized. This catches issues early in the development cycle.

Example:

@pytest.mark.parametrize(
    "config",
    ["default", "custom"],
    ids=["with_defaults", "with_custom_args"]
)
def test_my_model_constructor(config):
    """Test model constructor and attributes."""
    if config == "default":
        model = MyModel(input_dim=64, output_dim=32)
        assert model.hidden_dim == 128  # Default value
        assert model.dropout == 0.0  # Default value
    else:
        model = MyModel(
            input_dim=64,
            output_dim=32,
            hidden_dim=256,
            dropout=0.1
        )
        assert model.hidden_dim == 256
        assert model.dropout == 0.1

    # Test common attributes
    assert model.input_dim == 64
    assert model.output_dim == 32

Anti-pattern:

# WRONG: Only testing default configuration
def test_my_model_bad():
    model = MyModel(input_dim=64, output_dim=32)
    # Only tests defaults, not custom configurations

# WRONG: Not verifying attributes
def test_my_model_bad():
    model = MyModel(input_dim=64, output_dim=32)
    # Model created but attributes not tested

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.
