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 | $0.00075 | $0.00075 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00030 | $0.00030 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00015 | $0.00015 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00007 |
Grade A, and why
performance-optimization-rules 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 1mo 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: Rules for optimizing extension performance, minimizing resource usage, and improving responsiveness. globs: **/background_worker.js, **/content_script.js
- Minimize resource usage in background scripts
- Use event pages instead of persistent background pages when possible
- Implement lazy loading for non-critical extension features
- Optimize content scripts to minimize impact on web page performance
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.

performance-optimization-rules is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository paulpham157/paul-s-cursor-rules (27 stars, last pushed 1y ago), licensed MIT. It adds 75 tokens to every session, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings.
