cursor-rule.snippet

A short Cursor rule that points to one canonical review checklist stored elsewhere in the project. Cursor is an AI coding tool that discovers rules placed in its configuration directory.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when configuring Cursor to load the shared review checklist and when updating the checklist itself in its canonical location.
Why use it?
It keeps the review process in one place so different tools do not accumulate conflicting copies of the same checklist.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

cursor-rule.snippet 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 2d 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.

Load and follow that file. This rule exists only so Cursor discovers the same workflow without a second full copy of the steps.

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.

cursor-rule.snippet is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository onesimplecode/agent-engineering-standards (3 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 14 tokens to every session and 83 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 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.
