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 | $0.00242 | $0.00242 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00121 | $0.00121 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00048 | $0.00048 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00024 | $0.00024 |
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 yesterday.
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
- Understand requirement and identify impacted files.
- Implement smallest correct change first.
- Verify with build/tests/lint for touched scope.
- 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.
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.

cursor-workflow-rules is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository preshan/GroceryList (2 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 242 tokens to every session, about $0.0012 per session on Opus 5. 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 2026-08-31.
