service-class-conventions

service-class-conventions is a cursor rule for Cursor from paulpham157/paul-s-cursor-rules. It costs 0 tokens per session (172 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Java service-layer rules for Spring applications, covering interfaces, implementation classes, DTOs, record checks, and transactions. A transaction groups database operations so they can succeed or fail together.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when implementing service methods, checking whether records exist, returning data to controllers, and coordinating several database operations.
Why use it?
They keep business logic separate from database code and reduce the risk of partially completed multi-step updates.

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

service-class-conventions 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 5d 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: Defines the structure and implementation of service classes, enforcing the use of interfaces, ServiceImpl classes, DTOs for data transfer, and transactional management. globs: **/src/main/java/com/example/services/*.java

  • Service classes must be of type interface.
  • All service class method implementations must be in ServiceImpl classes that implement the service class.
  • All ServiceImpl classes must be annotated with @Service.
  • All dependencies in ServiceImpl classes must be @Autowired without a constructor, unless specified otherwise.
  • Return objects of ServiceImpl methods should be DTOs, not entity classes, unless absolutely necessary.
  • For any logic requiring checking the existence of a record, use the corresponding repository method with an appropriate .orElseThrow lambda method.
  • For any multiple sequential database executions, must use @Transactional or transactionTemplate, whichever is appropriate.

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.
