rule-generation

rule-generation is a cursor rule for Cursor from sfc-gh-cconner/support-rules-mcp. It costs 305 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A general guide for creating and updating Cursor rules, which are project instructions that guide an AI coding assistant. It defines a reusable file format and asks for small, actionable, testable guidance with clear scope and examples.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to draft or review Cursor rules, including their metadata, file scope, do-and-don't guidance, defaults, examples, and assumptions.
Why use it?
It helps keep coding rules consistent and maintainable instead of turning them into vague or oversized instruction files.

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

rule-generation 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 2d 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

Rule Generation Guide (Project-Wide Baseline)

Use this guide whenever you (or Cursor) create or update a rule. Rules should be small, actionable, and easy to maintain.


1) Rule File Template (copy/paste)

## Scope
What this rule covers, what it does NOT cover.

## Guidelines (Do/Don’t)
- Do: <specific, testable guidance>
- Don’t: <anti-pattern the rule forbids>
- Defaults: <preferred library/flag/config, with reason>

## Examples
**Bad**
```<lang>
# minimal snippet that violates the rule

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.
