11-prompt-injection-guard.rules is a cursor rule for Cursor from sparesparrow/cursor-rules. It costs 0 tokens per session (1,372 once invoked), scanned B, original, GPL-3.0.

A set of rules for implementing and documenting a prompt-injection guard. Prompt injection is an attempt to make an AI system ignore its instructions or perform unintended actions.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for implementing and documenting protection against prompt injection in language-model systems, based on the available description.
Why use it?
It may help address security risks from hostile or misleading instructions, but the input does not provide the guard's exact behavior.

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 B, and why

11-prompt-injection-guard.rules 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 8d 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.

Instruction-override phrasingmediumPrompt injection

Text telling the model to disregard its earlier instructions or safety rules is the shape of a prompt injection, whoever wrote it.

malicious_input = "Ignore previous instructions..."

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