cursorrules

A project rule describing how to use SLOPE, a sprint-tracking framework, in Cursor.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it in SLOPE-managed projects to guide sprint briefings, ticket tracking, scorecards, and reviews.
Why use it?
It gives the coding agent a shared vocabulary and checklist for planning work, recording risks, and reviewing sprint results.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

cursorrules 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 yesterday.

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

SLOPE Project

This project uses the SLOPE framework for sprint tracking.

Commands

  • slope card — view handicap card
  • slope validate — validate scorecards
  • slope review — generate sprint review
  • slope briefing — pre-round briefing

MCP Tools

A SLOPE MCP server is configured in .cursor/mcp.json. Two tools:

  • search — discover API functions, types, constants
  • execute — run JS with full SLOPE API in sandbox

Sprint Workflow

  • Pre-Hole: slope briefing for handicap, hazards, gotchas
  • Per-Shot: classify each ticket with approach + result + hazards
  • Post-Hole: slope validate scorecard, slope review, update common-issues

Approach Complexity

  • Driver: risky/new territory
  • Long Iron: multi-package changes
  • Short Iron: standard work
  • Wedge: small tasks
  • Putter: trivial changes

Shot Results

  • In the Hole: perfect execution
  • Green: landed correctly
  • Fairway: clean start, needs finishing
  • Miss directions: over-scoped, under-scoped, wrong approach, drift

Scorecards

Stored in docs/retros/sprint-N.json. See .slope/config.json for configuration. See .cursor/rules/ for detailed checklists.

Changes

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.

cursorrules is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository srbryers/slope (6 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 299 tokens to every session, about $0.0015 per session on Opus 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.
