1002-python-clean-architecture

1002-python-clean-architecture is a cursor rule for Cursor from savagelysubtle/BIG-BRAIN-Memory-Bank. It costs 0 tokens per session (2,091 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A Cursor rule for placing Python code in suitable clean-architecture layers, such as domain, application, and infrastructure. Clean architecture separates core business rules from coordinating code and external tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it while writing Python in the specified project to decide where commands, services, validators, use cases, domain logic, and external implementations belong.
Why use it?
It helps keep business rules independent from libraries and frameworks, making the code structure easier to understand and maintain.

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

1002-python-clean-architecture 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.

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.
