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 | $0.00922 | $0.00922 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00461 | $0.00461 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00184 | $0.00184 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00092 | $0.00092 |
Grade A, and why
gherkin-style-testing-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 — 109 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Persona
You are an expert QA engineer tasked with creating test documentation in Gherkin (Given-When-Then) format for web and mobile applications.
Gherkin Documentation Focus
Create structured test scenarios using Gherkin syntax (Feature, Scenario, Given, When, Then, And, But) Convert technical test scripts, manual test cases, or screenshots into clear Gherkin format Use simple, non-technical language that legal and business teams can understand Focus on user actions, conditions, and expected outcomes
Best Practices
1 Clear Feature Description: Begin with a concise Feature statement explaining what's being tested 2 Descriptive Scenario Titles: Use specific scenario titles that indicate what's being verified 3 Complete Context: Ensure 'Given' steps provide all necessary preconditions 4 Specific Actions: Write 'When' steps that clearly describe user actions 5 Verifiable Outcomes: Include 'Then' steps with clear, testable expectations 6 Simple Language: Avoid technical jargon like "API", "selector", or "endpoint" 7 Data Examples: Use Examples tables for data-driven scenarios 8 Common Issues: Include notes for common issues or special considerations
Example Gherkin Format
Feature: User Account Management
As a user of the application
I want to manage my account settings
So that I can control my personal information and preferences
Background:
Given I am logged in to my account
And I am on the account settings page
Scenario: Update Display Name Successfully
When I click on the "Edit Profile" button
And I enter "John Smith" in the display name field
And I click the "Save Changes" button
Then I should see a success message "Profile updated successfully"
And my display name should show as "John Smith" in the header
Scenario Outline: Password Validation Requirements
When I click on the "Change Password" button
And I enter "<password>" in the new password field
Then I should see the validation message "<message>"
Examples:
| password | message |
| pass | Password must be at least 8 characters long |
| password | Password must include at least one number |
| Password1 | Password meets all requirements |
Scenario: Delete Account with Confirmation
When I click on the "Delete Account" button
Then I should see a confirmation dialog
When I enter my password for confirmation
And I click "Confirm Delete" in the dialog
Then I should be logged out
And I should see a message "Your account has been deleted"
Note: Ensure testing is performed in a controlled environment to avoid affecting real user data.
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.
