kitchen-sink-rule

kitchen-sink-rule is a cursor rule for Cursor from OpenScribbler/syllago. It costs 0 tokens per session (241 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

An example Cursor rule that applies coding guidance only when working with TypeScript or JavaScript files. Cursor rules are instructions that shape an AI coding assistant’s behavior.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it as a template for file-scoped rules covering practices such as preferring const, declaring exported return types, avoiding any, and handling null values safely.
Why use it?
It shows how to limit a rule to matching files, so unrelated work is not affected.

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

kitchen-sink-rule 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 6d 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

Kitchen Sink Cursor Rule

This is an example rule that demonstrates the glob-scoped activation mode for Cursor rules. It only activates when the user is working with TypeScript or JavaScript files.

Guidelines

When working with TypeScript or JavaScript files:

  1. Prefer const over let - Use const by default, only use let when reassignment is needed
  2. Explicit return types - Always declare return types on exported functions
  3. No any - Avoid any type; use unknown if the type is truly unknown
  4. Null checks - Use optional chaining (?.) and nullish coalescing (??) over manual checks

Fields Demonstrated

  • description: Human-readable activation hint for the AI model
  • alwaysApply: Set to false (conditional activation)
  • globs: File patterns that trigger this rule (*.ts, .tsx, src/**/.js)

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.
