automation-script-rule

automation-script-rule is a cursor rule for Cursor from paulpham157/paul-s-cursor-rules. It costs 0 tokens per session (68 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Guidelines for creating and modifying automation scripts. They cover reusable structure, error handling, logging, documentation, and efficiency.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when designing or updating scripts that automate project work, including their structure, logs, error paths, documentation, and performance.
Why use it?
They help prevent one-off scripts that are difficult to reuse, debug, or understand. Clear failures and documentation make automation safer to maintain.

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

automation-script-rule 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.

What it actually says

When creating or modifying automation scripts:

  • Ensure scripts are modular and reusable.
  • Implement robust error handling and logging.
  • Document the purpose and usage of each script clearly.
  • Prioritize efficiency and performance in script design.

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.
