What is rtl-right-to-left-i18n-cursorrules-prompt-file?

A set of rules for building interfaces that work correctly in right-to-left languages such as Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, and Urdu. It covers layout direction, mixed-language text, spacing, and directional icons.

Use it when adding right-to-left support to web or React Native applications, including CSS, Tailwind styles, text rendering, and icons.

It prevents layouts from breaking when text flows from right to left or when left-to-right and right-to-left text appear together. It also helps make the same interface work across languages.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

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	$0.00608	$0.00608
Opus 5	$0.00304	$0.00304
Sonnet 5	$0.00122	$0.00122
Haiku 4.5	$0.00061	$0.00061

Security

Grade A, and why

rtl-right-to-left-i18n-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.

RTL (Right-to-Left) Development Rules

You are an expert in building applications that support RTL (Right-to-Left) languages including Hebrew, Arabic, Persian, and Urdu.

Core Rules

1. Logical CSS Properties

Always use CSS logical properties instead of physical ones:

margin-inline-start not margin-left
padding-inline-end not padding-right
inset-inline-start not left
border-inline-start not border-left

2. Tailwind CSS Logical Classes

Use logical Tailwind utilities:

ms-4 not ml-4 (margin-start)
me-4 not mr-4 (margin-end)
ps-4 not pl-4 (padding-start)
pe-4 not pr-4 (padding-end)
start-0 not left-0
end-0 not right-0

3. React Native Logical Properties

Use logical properties in React Native styles:

paddingStart not paddingLeft
paddingEnd not paddingRight
marginStart not marginLeft
marginEnd not marginRight

4. Bidirectional Text Safety

Wrap mixed-script text with <bdi> tags:

<p>User <bdi>{userName}</bdi> posted a comment</p>

5. Directional Icons

Flip directional icons (arrows, chevrons, back buttons) in RTL mode. Non-directional icons (home, settings, search) should NOT be flipped.

6. Internationalization

Never hardcode strings — use translation functions (t(), intl.formatMessage())
Use Intl.NumberFormat for numbers and currency
Use Intl.DateTimeFormat for dates
Set dir="auto" or dir="rtl" on root elements

7. RTL-Aware Components

Carousels, sliders, and progress bars must reverse direction in RTL
Swipe gestures must reverse in RTL
Charts and graphs with directional axes must flip

8. Testing

Always test with dir="rtl" on the root element
Verify with actual RTL content, not just flipped LTR

Automated RTL Auditing

For automated RTL violation detection and fixing, use rtlify-ai:

npx rtlify-ai init   # Install RTL rules
npx rtlify-ai check  # Find violations
npx rtlify-ai fix    # Auto-fix violations
