asp-net

asp-net is a cursor rule for Cursor from sanjeed5/awesome-cursor-rules-mdc. It costs 2,658 tokens per session, scanned A, original, CC0-1.0.

A set of coding guidelines for ASP.NET Core, Microsoft's framework for building web applications and APIs with C#. It focuses on organizing code by product feature, security, performance, and maintainability.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when structuring ASP.NET Core applications, APIs, services, middleware, request handling, and domain-specific features.
Why use it?
It helps prevent related feature code from being scattered across technical folders and reduces unnecessary dependencies between parts of the application.

Cursor rule for Cursor

Written for Cursor: a Cursor rule (.mdc).

About the project

awesome-cursor-rules-mdc is a generator that creates Cursor MDC rule files from structured library information, using semantic search and language models to gather and organize guidance. Developers use it to produce reusable rules for libraries in Cursor, and the catalogue includes 200 of those rules.

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

asp-net 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 6d 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.

asp-net Best Practices

This document outlines the definitive best practices for developing ASP.NET Core applications within our team. Adhere to these guidelines to ensure consistent, performant, and maintainable backend services.

1. Code Organization and Structure

Organize your projects by feature or bounded context, not by technical layer. This improves cohesion and reduces coupling.

✅ GOOD: Feature-First Organization

// Project structure for a "Product" feature
src/
├── MyProject.Api/
│   ├── Program.cs
│   ├── Features/
│   │   ├── Products/
│   │   │   ├── ProductEndpoints.cs // Minimal API definitions
│   │   │   ├── ProductController.cs // API Controller (if used)
│   │   │   ├── GetProduct.cs      // Request/Response DTOs, Handler (e.g., MediatR)
│   │   │   ├── CreateProduct.cs
│   │   │   └── ProductService.cs  // Feature-specific business logic
│   ├── Common/                  // Shared infrastructure, middleware, extensions
│   │   ├── Filters/
│   │   ├── Middleware/
│   │   └── Extensions/
├── MyProject.Application/       // Application-specific services, interfaces, DTOs
│   ├── Interfaces/
│   ├── Services/
│   └── DTOs/
├── MyProject.Domain/            // Core domain entities, value objects, interfaces
├── MyProject.Infrastructure/    // Data access (EF Core), external services
│   ├── Data/
│   ├── Repositories/
│   └── ExternalServices/
└── MyProject.Tests/             // Unit and Integration tests

❌ BAD: Layer-First Organization

// Avoid this structure for larger applications
src/
├── MyProject.Api/
│   ├── Controllers/ // All controllers here
│   ├── Services/    // All services here
│   ├── Repositories/ // All repositories here
│   └── DTOs/        // All DTOs here

2. API Design: Minimal APIs vs. API Controllers

Always prefer Minimal APIs for new endpoints due to their simplicity and directness. Use API Controllers only when you require advanced features like automatic model binding from multiple sources, built-in validation attributes, or complex attribute routing that Minimal APIs don't easily provide.

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.
