A rule for assessing design solutions with measures such as speed, reliability, security, and maintainability.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to evaluate architectures, components, or other technical designs against performance, reliability, security, and maintenance considerations.
Why use it?
It provides shared criteria for comparing designs instead of relying only on personal judgement.

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

190-evaluation-metrics-system 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 10d 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.

description: WHEN evaluating design solutions APPLY standardized metrics for objective assessment globs: ["/*.md", "/*.mdc"] alwaysApply: true

TL;DR: The Evaluation Metrics System provides standardized criteria and measurement approaches for objectively assessing design solutions across different dimensions and design types.

1.0.0

1. **Performance Metrics**
   - Response time (average, percentile, worst-case)
   - Throughput (operations per unit time)
   - Resource utilization (CPU, memory, network, storage)
   - Scalability factors (linear, sub-linear, super-linear)
   - Latency profiles (by operation type)

2. **Reliability Metrics**
   - Availability (percentage uptime)
   - Mean time between failures (MTBF)
   - Mean time to recovery (MTTR)
   - Failure rate (by component, by operation)
   - Fault tolerance (degradation characteristics)

3. **Security Metrics**
   - Attack surface measurement
   - Vulnerability density
   - Security control coverage
   - Authentication strength
   - Authorization granularity
   - Data protection level

4. **Maintainability Metrics**
   - Structural complexity
   - Coupling measure
   - Cohesion measure
   - Documentation completeness
   - Testing coverage
   - Modification impact scope

5. **Usability Metrics**
   - Task completion rate
   - Time on task

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.

190-evaluation-metrics-system is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository savagelysubtle/BIG-BRAIN-Memory-Bank (5 stars, last pushed 1y ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 5,390 tokens. 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.
