no-family-vocabulary-in-framework

no-family-vocabulary-in-framework is a cursor rule for Codex, Cursor from prisma/orm. It costs 0 tokens per session (818 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A rule for a shared framework package used by different families and targets, requiring its names and concepts to stay family-neutral.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding framework types, fields, hooks, or strategy values to decide whether the concept belongs in shared code or in a family-specific layer.
Why use it?
Family-specific terms in shared code can make the framework misleading or unusable for other families.

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

no-family-vocabulary-in-framework 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 12d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 42 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

No family vocabulary in the framework domain

packages/1-framework is consumed by every family (SQL, Mongo) and every target. A concept may enter it only if it is genuinely family-blind.

The test for every new framework export, field, hook, or member: would Mongo populate or consume this meaningfully? If not, it belongs in the family layer (e.g. @internal/sql-contract), behind a structural interface + type predicate at the boundary.

How it is enforced

The no-family-vocabulary Biome plugin matches syntax nodes — identifiers, string literals, template chunks, import paths — carrying family/target terms (table, column, postgres, nativeType, primaryKey, …). It emits info diagnostics; pnpm lint:framework-vocabulary is the ratchet that counts them, deduplicated by file and line, against the threshold in scripts/lint-framework-vocabulary.config.json. The count may only shrink, and the threshold must be lowered whenever it does.

Comments and JSDoc are deliberately not counted. Prose that documents family-blind code correctly ("family-parameterized (SQL, Mongo, …)") is good documentation, and the previous line-scanning checker taxed it — the majority of what it flagged was prose, not surface. A leak that matters is a real type, field, identifier, string, or import path, and the plugin only sees those.

Suppress a genuinely family-blind site at the line, with a reason:

// biome-ignore lint/plugin/no-family-vocabulary: terminal grid layout, not storage
const LEFT_COLUMN_WIDTH = 20;

Then lower the threshold by one. A suppression naming the wrong plugin does not suppress and is reported as suppressions/unused, so a stale one cannot rot silently.

The forbidden terms live in the plugin, not the config — GritQL cannot read JSON, and a second copy nothing reads would drift. To add one, edit biome-plugins/no-family-vocabulary.grit and re-baseline the threshold. The config carries only the scanned path and the threshold.

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.
