create-a-reusable-runtime-from-layers

create-a-reusable-runtime-from-layers is a cursor rule for Cursor from PaulJPhilp/EffectPatterns. It costs 215 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A TypeScript pattern for building a reusable runtime from application service layers. A runtime is the prepared environment that supplies those services when programs run.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare services once at application startup and reuse them across requests or other Effect programs.
Why use it?
It avoids rebuilding the service dependency setup every time an operation executes, which suits long-running applications and servers.

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

create-a-reusable-runtime-from-layers 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.

Create a Reusable Runtime from Layers

Rule: Create a reusable runtime from layers.

Example

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

class GreeterService extends Effect.Service<GreeterService>()("Greeter", {
  sync: () => ({
    greet: (name: string) => Effect.sync(() => `Hello ${name}`),
  }),
}) {}

const runtime = Effect.runSync(
  Layer.toRuntime(GreeterService.Default).pipe(Effect.scoped)
);

// In a server, you would reuse `run` for every request.
Runtime.runPromise(runtime)(Effect.log("Hello"));

Explanation:
By compiling your layers into a Runtime once, you avoid rebuilding the dependency graph for every effect execution.

Explanation:
Building the dependency graph from layers has a one-time cost. Creating a Runtime once when your application starts is highly efficient for long-running applications.

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.
