tokenmeter: Cursor rule for Cursor

.cursorrules

cursorrules is a cursor rule for Cursor from Priyans-hu/tokenmeter. It costs 303 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project-specific coding rules for TokenMeter, a macOS menu bar app that tracks Claude Code usage. They describe its Swift, SwiftUI, concurrency, build, file-structure, and implementation conventions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when modifying TokenMeter, including its usage parsing, API access, dashboard views, settings, alerts, or build configuration.
Why use it?
They give coding agents the project facts and constraints needed to make changes that fit TokenMeter's existing design.

Cursor rule for Cursor

Written for Cursor: installed under .cursor/. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions Claude Code.

This is Priyans-hu/tokenmeter's own configuration. It tells Cursor how to work on tokenmeter itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything tokenmeter configures →

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

cursorrules 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

You are working on TokenMeter, a macOS menu bar app for tracking Claude Code usage.

Tech Stack

  • Swift 5.9+, SwiftUI, macOS 14+
  • Swift Package Manager (no Xcode project)
  • Swift Concurrency (async/await, actors, @MainActor)

Build

cd TokenMeter && swift build -c release

Key Files

  • TokenMeterApp.swift — MenuBarExtra app entry
  • UsageViewModel.swift — @MainActor ObservableObject, state management
  • Services/NativeUsageParser.swift — JSONL parser for ~/.claude/projects/
  • Services/UsageAPIService.swift — Keychain reader + Anthropic API client
  • Models/UsageSummary.swift — All data models and ClaudePlan enum
  • Views/ — SwiftUI views (dashboard, rate limits, heatmap, charts, settings)

Patterns

  • UsageAPIService is an actor (thread-safe)
  • UsageViewModel is @MainActor (UI-bound)
  • API + local JSONL parsing run concurrently via async let
  • API data preferred for rate limits, local JSONL for costs/breakdowns
  • UserDefaults for caching and settings persistence
  • UNUserNotificationCenter for rate limit alerts

Guidelines

  • Keep the app lightweight — it runs in the menu bar
  • No Xcode project files — use SPM only
  • macOS 14+ minimum (for MenuBarExtra)
  • Verify changes compile: swift build -c release

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.
