control-plane-descriptors

control-plane-descriptors is a cursor rule for Cursor from prisma/orm. It costs 0 tokens per session (1,104 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A descriptor-and-instance pattern for control-plane components such as families, targets, adapters, drivers, and extensions. A descriptor defines a component's type and identifiers, while its instance provides the implementation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when defining or consuming control-plane families, targets, adapters, drivers, or extensions with the required Control*Descriptor types.
Why use it?
It keeps related control-plane components described in one consistent way and prevents use of removed legacy descriptor types.

About the project

Prisma ORM is a Node.js and TypeScript database toolkit that lets applications work with databases through a programming interface instead of writing every query directly in SQL. Developers use it with databases including PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, SQL Server, SQLite, MongoDB, and CockroachDB. The catalogue add-ons provide agent rules, skills, hooks, agents, and other workflows for using Prisma.

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

control-plane-descriptors 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.

Control Plane Descriptors Pattern

Overview

Control plane components (families, targets, adapters, drivers, extensions) use a consistent descriptor + instance pattern defined in ADR 151. All legacy descriptor types have been removed and replaced with Control*Descriptor types.

Pattern: ControlDescriptor + ControlInstance

CRITICAL: Always use Control*Descriptor types. Legacy types (FamilyDescriptor, TargetDescriptor, AdapterDescriptor, DriverDescriptor, ExtensionDescriptor, ControlPlaneDriver) have been completely removed.

Descriptor Types

All control plane descriptors follow this pattern:

// Family descriptor
ControlFamilyDescriptor<TFamilyId, TFamilyInstance>

// Target descriptor
ControlTargetDescriptor<TFamilyId, TTargetId, TTargetInstance>

// Adapter descriptor
ControlAdapterDescriptor<TFamilyId, TTargetId, TAdapterInstance>

// Driver descriptor
ControlDriverDescriptor<TFamilyId, TTargetId, TDriverInstance>

// Extension descriptor
ControlExtensionDescriptor<TFamilyId, TTargetId, TExtensionInstance>

Required Properties

All descriptors must have:

  • kind: Discriminator ('family' | 'target' | 'adapter' | 'driver' | 'extension')
  • id: String identifier
  • familyId: Literal type (e.g., 'sql')
  • targetId: Literal type (e.g., 'postgres') - required for target, adapter, driver, extension
  • manifest: ExtensionPackManifest
  • create(): Factory method that returns an instance

Instance Types

Base instance interfaces:

  • ControlFamilyInstance<TFamilyId>
  • ControlTargetInstance<TFamilyId, TTargetId>
  • ControlAdapterInstance<TFamilyId, TTargetId>
  • ControlDriverInstance<TTargetId> (replaces ControlPlaneDriver)
  • ControlExtensionInstance<TFamilyId, TTargetId>

Note: FamilyInstance is retained for CLI command handlers that need the full method set (validateContractIR, verify, schemaVerify, introspect, emitContract, toSchemaView). It uses ControlDriverInstance internally.
