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

netlify 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 4d 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.

netlify Best Practices

Netlify is the definitive platform for the Jamstack. Our workflow prioritizes pre-built, edge-first deployments, ensuring maximum performance, security, and developer experience. These guidelines enforce a consistent, high-quality approach to building for the modern web on Netlify.

1. Code Organization and Build Configuration

Always centralize your build logic and deployment settings in netlify.toml. This ensures consistency and reproducibility across environments and team members.

✅ GOOD: Standardized netlify.toml

# netlify.toml
[build]
  command = "npm run build" # Your project's build command
  publish = "dist"          # Directory containing your built static assets
  functions = "netlify/functions" # Directory for Netlify Edge/Serverless Functions

# Essential redirects for SPAs or SEO
[[redirects]]
  from = "/old-path"
  to = "/new-path"
  status = 301

[[redirects]]
  from = "/*"
  to = "/index.html"
  status = 200 # For Single Page Applications (SPAs)

# Security headers for all responses
[[headers]]
  for = "/*"
  [headers.values]
    X-Frame-Options = "DENY"
    X-XSS-Protection = "1; mode=block"
    X-Content-Type-Options = "nosniff"
    Referrer-Policy = "no-referrer-when-downgrade"
    Content-Security-Policy = "default-src 'self'; script-src 'self' 'unsafe-eval'; style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline'; img-src 'self' data:; font-src 'self';"
    Strict-Transport-Security = "max-age=63072000; includeSubDomains; preload"

❌ BAD: Relying on UI settings or missing critical configurations

# netlify.toml (incomplete)
[build]
  command = "npm run build"
  publish = "build"
# Missing redirects, functions path, and crucial security headers.
# This leads to inconsistent deployments, SEO issues, and security vulnerabilities.

2. Environment Variables and Secrets Management

Never hardcode sensitive information. Use Netlify's encrypted environment variables for all secrets. Differentiate between build-time and runtime variables.

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.
