access-configuration-from-the-context

access-configuration-from-the-context is a cursor rule for coding agents from PaulJPhilp/EffectPatterns. It costs 233 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A TypeScript rule for providing application configuration through Effect's context, such as a server host and port.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when Effect programs need shared settings provided by a default or test configuration.
Why use it?
It makes configuration dependencies visible and keeps application logic separate from how settings are supplied, which helps testing.

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

access-configuration-from-the-context 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 3d 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.

Access Configuration from the Context

Rule: Access configuration from the Effect context.

Example

import { Config, Effect, Layer } from "effect";

// Define config service
class AppConfig extends Effect.Service<AppConfig>()("AppConfig", {
  sync: () => ({
    host: "localhost",
    port: 3000,
  }),
}) {}

// Create program that uses config
const program = Effect.gen(function* () {
  const config = yield* AppConfig;
  yield* Effect.log(`Starting server on http://${config.host}:${config.port}`);
});

// Run the program with default config
Effect.runPromise(Effect.provide(program, AppConfig.Default));

Explanation:
By yielding the config object, you make your dependency explicit and leverage Effect's context system for testability and modularity.

Explanation:
This allows your business logic to declaratively state its dependency on a piece of configuration. The logic is clean, type-safe, and completely decoupled from how the configuration is provided.

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.
