design-patterns

design-patterns is a cursor rule for Cursor from sijeeshmiziha/visionagent. It costs 894 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of design and code-organization rules for a TypeScript codebase.

In plain words

Use it when structuring TypeScript features involving state changes, interchangeable algorithms, event listeners, builders, decorators, factories, or handler chains.
Why use it?
It guides decisions about when to split files and which reusable design pattern fits a problem, helping keep code focused and manageable.

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

design-patterns 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.

Design Patterns and Code Organization

File Size Limit: 150 Lines Maximum

Every source file must contain at most 150 lines of code.

  • Enforces Single Responsibility and keeps files navigable.
  • When a file grows toward the limit, split before adding more.
  • Splitting strategies: Extract interfaces to *.interface.ts or types.ts; move helpers to *.utils.ts; split a class into a base in one file and concrete impl in another; one pattern/feature per file.

Pattern Selection

Pattern Use When Avoid When
State Behavior varies by internal state; replacing switch/case on state Simple flags; few states
Strategy Interchangeable algorithms at runtime Single algorithm
Chain of Responsibility Multiple handlers may process a request; dynamic chains Single handler; fixed flow
Builder Complex object, many optional parts, step-by-step construction Simple objects; few params
Observer Multiple listeners for the same events Single consumer
Decorator Add/stack behaviors dynamically (retry, log, cache) Static, single behavior
Factory Method Creation delegated to callers; varying product types One product type; simple new

State vs Strategy

  • State: Context has a current state; state object handles requests and may transition context to another state. Use for stage machines, wizards, workflows (e.g. discovery → requirements → design).
  • Strategy: Context delegates an algorithm to a strategy; no notion of "current state" or transitions. Use for swapping sort/search/format logic.

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.

design-patterns is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository sijeeshmiziha/visionagent (2 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 894 tokens to every session, about $0.0036 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
