Getting it into your agent
It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00008 | $0.00240 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00096 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00048 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00001 | $0.00024 |
Grade A, and why
high-quality-projects 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
This repository provides three workflows for applying production-oriented code standards. Both are plain Markdown and can be followed outside Cursor.
- New project → read
skills/project_setup/SKILL.md - Existing codebase → read
skills/quality_retrofit/SKILL.md - Scoped feature or resumed delivery → read
skills/feature_delivery/SKILL.md
Read the whole file before acting. All open with a mandatory read-only scan
(scripts/detect-stack.ps1 on PowerShell or scripts/detect-stack.sh on
POSIX) that must run before anything is created or changed.
Paths inside those files use ${SKILL_ROOT}/... as a placeholder. On
PowerShell, resolve with:
$SkillRoot = & '.\scripts\skill-root.ps1'
On POSIX, resolve with:
SKILL_ROOT="$(bash scripts/skill-root.sh)"
Full detail, including the non-negotiable rules, is in AGENTS.md at the
repository root.
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.

high-quality-projects is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository RandyNorthrup/high-quality-projects-skill (2 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 8 tokens to every session and 240 once invoked, about $0.0000 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.

procoder
You are working in a repository governed by Procoder — a harness that gives AI coders the tools and discipline of a senior developer. The procoder binary computes; you act. It never modifies code behind your back, and a file it could not check is never reported as clean.
slopmop-init
Slop-mop initial project setup — bootstrap a repo that has sm installed but no .sbconfig.json.
ponytail
Ponytail, lazy senior dev mode. Always pick the simplest solution that works.

This rule provides comprehensive best practices and coding standards for Angular development, focusing on modern TypeScript, standalone components, signals, and performance optimizations.
