It guides the creation of skill metadata, instruction files, optional tests, registry updates, and verification checks.
Why use it?
It prevents new skills from using the wrong folder structure or leaving generated registries and project metrics out of sync.

Cursor rule for Cursor

Written for Cursor: installed under .cursor/. Also seen: mentions AGENTS.md; mentions Cursor.

This is SkeneTechnologies/skene-cookbook's own configuration. It tells Cursor how to work on skene-cookbook itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything skene-cookbook configures →

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.

Fable 5.1 $0.02613 $0.02613
Opus 5.5 $0.01045 $0.01045

Security

Grade B, and why

cursorrules scanned grade B with 1 finding 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.

Recursive force deletemediumDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

rm -rf node_modules .venv

Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

Cursor Rules for skene-cookbook

Project Context

Repository: skene-cookbook - 764 AI skill library with 36 skill chain recipes Package: @skene/skills-directory v0.2.0 License: MIT Purpose: Pre-built AI skill chains for PLG, sales, customer success, security, and more

Architecture Patterns

Skill Structure (Non-Negotiable)

Every skill MUST follow this exact structure:

skills-library/{domain}/{skill-name}/
├── skill.json          # Metadata (name, description, category, risk_level)
├── instructions.md     # AI agent execution instructions
└── tests/              # Optional: skill-specific tests

Do NOT:

  • Create skills outside skills-library/executable/ or skills-library/reference/
  • Modify existing skill structure without updating registry
  • Add skills without skill.json and instructions.md

Registry Auto-Generation

The registry/ directory is AUTO-GENERATED from skills-library/:

  • Never manually edit files in registry/
  • Always run npm run verify:metrics after skill changes
  • Registry regeneration syncs badges and counts across README.md, METRICS.md, docs/directory.md

Risk Level Classification

Skills are classified by risk level (defined in skill.json):

  • Low - Read-only operations, no external dependencies
  • Medium - Write operations, requires configuration
  • High - External API calls, requires credentials
  • Critical - System-level operations, requires manual review

Rule: When creating a skill that makes external API calls, uses credentials, or modifies data, always set risk_level: "High" or "Critical".

Naming Conventions

Skill IDs

  • Format: {domain}_{action}_{target} (e.g., sales_analyze_pipeline)
  • Use snake_case, all lowercase
  • Be descriptive but concise (3-5 words max)

File Naming

  • Skill directories: kebab-case (e.g., analyze-customer-health/)
  • Python files: snake_case (e.g., analyze_skills.py)
  • JavaScript files: kebab-case (e.g., skills-directory.js)
  • Documentation: SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE for top-level (e.g., AGENTS.md), kebab-case for nested

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.
