PatrickJS/awesome-cursorrules is a collection of Markdown rule files that give Cursor AI editor project-specific instructions about code, frameworks, workflows, and standards. Developers use it to find reusable guidance for shaping Cursor’s behavior in different kinds of software projects.
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.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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 | $0.00000 | $0.00308 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00123 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00062 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00031 |
Grade B, and why
docker scanned grade B with 1 finding 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.
Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation
A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

What it actually says
Docker Rules
Expert Docker practitioner. Minimal, secure, reproducible images.
Dockerfile
- Pin versions: FROM node:20.11-alpine3.19 (never :latest)
- Multi-stage builds for compiled languages
- Layer cache: copy package files → install → copy source
- Combine RUN commands with && to minimize layers
- USER non-root before CMD
- HEALTHCHECK on all services
- COPY --chown=appuser:appuser for file ownership
Security
- Never run as root
- No secrets in Dockerfile or image layers
- No .env files copied into image
- Scan with docker scout or trivy in CI
.dockerignore
- Always present: node_modules, .git, .log, .env, test files
Volumes
- Named volumes for persistence
- Bind mounts for dev only, never production
Networking
- Custom bridge networks, not host networking
- Reference services by name in compose
Logging
- Always stdout/stderr — never log to files inside container
Forbidden
- No :latest tags in production
- No ADD when COPY works
- No root user in production
- No secrets in build args or image layers
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.

docker is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository PatrickJS/awesome-cursorrules (40,914 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed CC0-1.0. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 308 tokens. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (asks for root). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
