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 | $0.00585 | $0.00585 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00234 | $0.00234 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00117 | $0.00117 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00059 | $0.00059 |
Grade A, and why
graphical-apps-development-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 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.
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 — 42 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Project Synopsis
Pyllments is a Python library for building graphical and API-based LLM applications through chaining together Elements in a potentially cyclic graph. Elements and Payloads are a type of Components. A Component is composed of a Model and Views. The Model handles the underlying data and logic, while the Views are the UI components that are used to display display the interactive UI used to interact with the Model.
An Element is a type of Component that is responsible for a specific function. For instance, an Element can handle the LLM selection and generation by making calls to LLM providers. Another Element may handle the chat interface, whose Model would store the chat message history, and the Views would be the text boxes and buttons used to interact with the chat interface. Elements are meant to connect to other Elements through Ports. All that is necessary to link Elements together is to link the output port of one Element to the input port of Another. Each output port may have unlimited input ports it connects to, and each input port may have unlimited output ports it connects to. The ports follow an observer pattern where the output port is the subject and the input port is the observer. The subject notifies the observers when a certain event that we set within the Element is triggered.
In order to connect an input and and output port, they need to be setup in a manner that sends and receives the same type of Payload. A Payload is also a Component with a Model as well as views responsible for the display logic. Elements may receive payloads and use methods of the Payload to generate the views for the UI. The sending Element is responsible for packing data into the Payload.
I am currently working on making this a fully-fledged framework.
Project Organization
Here is an example of the file structure of an individual element:
chat_interface:
- init.py
- chat_interface_element.py
- chat_interface_model.py
- css:
- buttons.css
- column.css
- input.css
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.

graphical-apps-development-cursorrules-prompt-file is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository PatrickJS/awesome-cursorrules (41,029 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed CC0-1.0. It adds 585 tokens to every session, about $0.0023 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-09-03.
