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

cursor-workflow-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

Cursor Workflow Rules

Work sequence

  1. Understand requirement and identify impacted files.
  2. Implement smallest correct change first.
  3. Verify with build/tests/lint for touched scope.
  4. Summarize what changed and what remains.

Editing guidelines

  • Keep changes scoped to the requested task.
  • Do not rewrite unrelated code.
  • Preserve user-authored changes when present.
  • Add brief comments only where logic is non-obvious.

Quality checks

  • Run lint/checks after substantive edits.
  • Prefer fixing root causes over suppressing warnings.
  • Verify offline-critical flows when touching data or session logic.

Documentation discipline

  • Update relevant docs in docs/ when scope/architecture/flow changes.
  • Keep implementation aligned with SRS and compliance documents.

Git hygiene

  • Make atomic commits when asked to commit.
  • Use clear commit messages focused on why.
  • Avoid destructive git operations unless explicitly requested.

Product guardrail reminder

  • Do not introduce cloud-only dependencies for core functionality.
  • Maintain fast, accessible, and low-friction shopping flows.
Changes

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.
