state-memory-mcp: Cursor rule for Windsurf

.windsurfrules

windsurfrules is a cursor rule for Windsurf from putervision/state-memory-mcp. It costs 24,727 tokens per session, scanned B, original, MIT.

A project workflow that records sessions, tasks, decisions, blockers, dependencies, and progress in a shared state graph.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for starting tracked work sessions, finding the next task and blockers, recording decisions and changes, and tracing what depends on a task.
Why use it?
It helps an agent recover project context and follow pending work instead of losing decisions or repeating investigation between sessions.

Cursor rule for Windsurf

Written for Windsurf: a Windsurf rule. Also seen: mentions Cursor.

This is putervision/state-memory-mcp's own configuration. It tells Windsurf how to work on state-memory-mcp 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 state-memory-mcp 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 B, and why

windsurfrules scanned grade B with 1 finding 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.

State Memory (state-memory-mcp)

This project tracks workflow state, tasks, design decisions, and blockers using state-memory-mcp with project slug "state-memory-mcp".

1. Priority Order

Before doing any coding or investigation:

  1. manage_sessions(action: "start") — Start a tracking session for full change attribution.
  2. get_analytics(action: "summary") — Run to understand current project state, active branches, and overall progress.
  3. manage_tasks(action: "next") — Query prioritized runnable tasks.
  4. manage_tasks(action: "find_blockers") — Identify any active blockers preventing progress.
  5. manage_nodes(action: "list") — Find pending tasks, past decisions, or milestones.
  6. query_graph(action: "trace") — Trace what depends on or blocks a task.

2. When to Write to the Graph

You MUST update the graph as you work:

  • Starting a session: Always call manage_sessions(action: "start", agent_id: "my-agent") to track all mutations under a unique session.
  • Starting a new task: Create a node with manage_nodes(action: "create", type: "task", title: "...", session_id: session_id).
  • Making a design or implementation decision: Document it with manage_nodes(action: "create", type: "decision", title: "...", metadata: { "rationale": "..." }, session_id: session_id).
  • Encountering a blocker: Record the blocker with manage_nodes(action: "create", type: "blocker", ..., session_id: session_id) and connect it using manage_edges(action: "add", type: "blocks", source_id: blocker_id, target_id: task_id, session_id: session_id).
  • Adding observation notes: Atomically log notes using manage_nodes(action: "add_note", text: "...", attach_to: node_id).
  • Batch updates: Bulk update tasks/nodes using manage_nodes(action: "batch_update", ids: ["..."], status: "done").
  • Completing a task: Update status to done using manage_tasks(action: "complete", task_id: task_id).
  • Creating/generating a new file: Create an artifact node with manage_nodes(action: "create", type: "artifact", ..., session_id: session_id) and connect it using manage_edges(action: "add", type: "produces", ..., session_id: session_id).

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.
