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 | $0.01939 | $0.01939 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00970 | $0.00970 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00388 | $0.00388 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00194 | $0.00194 |
Grade A, and why
fastapi-production-architecture-cursorrules-prompt-file 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 210 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
FastAPI Production Architecture Rules
Principles for production-ready FastAPI services.
LAYER ARCHITECTURE (Principles A1-A8)
This codebase follows strict 4-layer architecture: Router → Service → Repository → ORM/HTTP/Storage. Imports flow downward only. Each layer has hard boundaries you must NOT cross.
Router rules (app/routers/**)
- Handlers are THIN: ≤10 lines of executable code per handler
- Allowed imports: fastapi, app.schemas., app.core.deps, app.services.
- FORBIDDEN imports: sqlalchemy, httpx, boto3, app.models., app.repositories.
- Every endpoint declares response_model= for OpenAPI fidelity
- Every protected/business endpoint requires user_id: str = Depends(get_current_user_id)
- Public endpoints (health checks, webhooks, callbacks) are exempt from auth
- Business logic lives in services. Routers parse input, call one service method, return response.
GOOD: @router.post("/wallet/charge", response_model=WalletResponse, status_code=201) async def charge( req: ChargeRequest, user_id: str = Depends(get_current_user_id), svc: WalletUserService = Depends(get_wallet_service), ) -> WalletResponse: wallet = await svc.charge( user_id=user_id, amount=req.amount, idempotency_key=req.idempotency_key, ) return WalletResponse.from_domain(wallet)
BAD (business logic + SQL in router): @router.post("/wallet/charge") async def charge(req: ChargeRequest, db: Session = Depends(get_db)): wallet = db.query(Wallet).filter(Wallet.user_id == user_id).with_for_update().one() ...
Service rules (app/services/**)
- FORBIDDEN imports: sqlalchemy, httpx, boto3, redis, FastAPI Request/Response/HTTPException
- Constructor injects Protocol-typed dependencies, not concrete classes
- Raise domain exceptions (InsufficientFundsError), not HTTPException
GOOD: from app.repositories.protocols import WalletRepoProtocol class WalletUserService: def init(self, repo: WalletRepoProtocol): # Protocol, not SQLAlchemy Session self._repo = repo
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.

fastapi-production-architecture-cursorrules-prompt-file is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository PatrickJS/awesome-cursorrules (40,728 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed CC0-1.0. It adds 1,939 tokens to every session, about $0.0097 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 2026-08-30.
