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 | $0.00239 | $0.00239 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00120 | $0.00120 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00048 | $0.00048 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00024 | $0.00024 |
Grade A, and why
react-query-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 yesterday.
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
// React + React Query .cursorrules
// Prefer functional components with hooks
const preferFunctionalComponents = true;
// React Query best practices
const reactQueryBestPractices = [ "Use QueryClient and QueryClientProvider at the root of your app", "Implement custom hooks for queries and mutations", "Utilize query keys for effective caching", "Use prefetching for improved performance", "Implement proper error and loading states", ];
// Folder structure
const folderStructure = src/ components/ hooks/ useQueries/ useMutations/ pages/ utils/ api/;
// Additional instructions
const additionalInstructions = `
- Use TypeScript for type safety with React Query
- Implement proper error boundaries for query errors
- Utilize React Query DevTools for debugging
- Use stale-while-revalidate strategy for data freshness
- Implement optimistic updates for mutations
- Use query invalidation for data refetching
- Follow React Query naming conventions for consistency `;
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.
