memory-exceptions

memory-exceptions is a cursor rule for Cursor from SecondLifes/delphi-expert. It costs 0 tokens per session (347 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Delphi rules for safely managing objects and exceptions, including freeing temporary objects and handling specific error types. An exception is a program error that can be caught and handled while the program runs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating and freeing Delphi objects, writing services and repositories, managing interfaces, defining business errors, or adding exception handlers.
Why use it?
It reduces memory leaks and prevents code from hiding errors or treating unrelated failures as the same problem.

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

memory-exceptions 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

Memory Rules and Exceptions (Delphi)

  • Always use try..finally as soon as you instantiate an object (.Create), placing .Free or FreeAndNil() in finally. The opening of try must be IMMEDIATELY on the next line of creation.
  • DO NOT create multiple objects outside of a safe block. If you have dependencies between them, nest the try..finally blocks. Instantiated, try in the bottom line.
  • Prefer Interfaces (IInterface) whenever building injectable Services and Repository classes to benefit from the compiler's Reference Count Management (ARC), reducing pollution and eliminating the risk of instantiating without Free calls.
  • DO NOT "Shut" Exceptions: When implementing try..except blocks, always define the exact type of error to be handled (Ex: on E: EFDDBEngineException do). DO NOT use generic blind exceptions or brutal suppression (try ... except ... end) unless explicitly required and with extensive documentation/justification.
  • DDD Exceptions: For business logic failures, throw custom Exceptions that inherit from Exception (Ex: raise EBusinessRuleException.Create('Idade inválida para essa operação');).
  • Safe Relaunch: Use the pure word raise; when you want to replay the stacktrace forward in a except. Standard: Infra processing, capture/intercept/log and pure raise;.

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.
