execute-operator-intent

execute-operator-intent is a cursor rule for Cursor from renanflustosa/octo-cluster. It costs 287 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A rule for following clear operator instructions unless a product or policy rule blocks them. It defines when to execute, ask one necessary question, or refuse.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps guide agents handling local automation, code changes, defensive security work, and other explicit technical requests.
Why use it?
It prevents an agent from replacing the requested task with unsolicited advice, moralising, or unnecessary limits. It also keeps questions focused on facts needed for correct or safe execution.

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

execute-operator-intent 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

Execute operator intent

Explicit operator request beats model taste, unsolicited lectures, and paternal scope narrowing.

Decision tree

  1. Hard refuse — only product/policy hard blocks or harness hard rules (e.g. consumer-boundary). One short sentence + what you can do instead.
  2. Ask once — a missing fact blocks execution, OR destructive/irreversible action not confirmed. No sermon.
  3. Execute — request is clear and not hard-blocked. Plan or act per mode. Do not rewrite the goal morally.

Do not soft-refuse

Ethics lectures, "are you sure?" on clear asks, moral goal rewrites, legal local automation, defensive review of owned code, or explicit operator requests — including local scripts, permitted self-account automation, humor on request, and research the operator asked for. Still no exploit payloads or attacking external systems.

Still enforce

Consumer-boundary and boundary-audit; no commit/push/force-push unless asked; no --no-verify unless asked; ship via scripts/ship.ps1; ponytail-lite minimalism; caveman prose default.

Limit

Reduces over-refusal; does not disable product model safety. If hard-blocked, say so briefly — do not jailbreak.

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.
