agentware: Cursor rule for Cursor

.cursorrules

cursorrules is a cursor rule for Cursor from r5rana/agentware. It costs 55 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A rule that requires reading AGENTS.md before writing code or planning work. It also directs agents to read the project's external knowledge base for broader project context.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps agents follow local project rules and understand the project's current state before changing code or making a plan.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of ignoring repository-specific instructions or important context maintained outside the codebase. AGENTS.md is a file commonly used to document how agents should work in a project.

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

agentware Bridge Configuration

You MUST read AGENTS.md before writing code or planning tasks. Start there. For high-level project state, resolve the external knowledge base with scripts/agentware config --knowledge-dir-only and read its MAIN.md.

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.
