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.

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 | $0.00000 | $0.00071 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00036 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00014 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00007 |
Grade A, and why
conditional-encapsulation 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
description: This rule enforces encapsulating nested conditionals into functions to improve clarity. globs: **/.
- One way to improve the readability and clarity of functions is to encapsulate nested if/else statements into other functions.
- Encapsulating such logic into a function with a descriptive name clarifies its purpose and simplifies code comprehension.
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.

conditional-encapsulation is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository paulpham157/paul-s-cursor-rules (27 stars, last pushed 1y ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 71 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
