slope-post-hole-routine

slope-post-hole-routine is a cursor rule for Cursor from srbryers/slope. It costs 0 tokens per session (307 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A required checklist for finishing a SLOPE sprint, where a sprint is a defined period of development work. It requires validating the sprint scorecard, reviewing it, recording recurring lessons, and committing the resulting files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after completing a sprint and creating its JSON scorecard. It guides validation, review-file creation, updates to recurring issue records, and commits.
Why use it?
It prevents sprint results from being treated as finished before their data has been checked and their review has been saved.

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

slope-post-hole-routine 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 5d 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

SLOPE Post-Hole Routine (Sprint Completion)

When you have just completed a sprint and filed a scorecard (e.g. docs/retros/sprint-N.json), always run the full Post-Hole routine before considering the sprint done:

  1. Validate — Run slope validate docs/retros/sprint-N.json (or from repo root: node dist/cli/index.js validate docs/retros/sprint-N.json if slope is not on PATH). Fix any validation errors.

  2. Review — Run slope review docs/retros/sprint-N.json and save the output to docs/retros/sprint-N-review.md so the sprint review markdown is committed with the scorecard.

  3. Distill learnings — If the sprint revealed a recurring pattern, gotcha, or prevention tactic, add it to .slope/common-issues.json (recurring_patterns array). If nothing to add, skip.

  4. Commit — Commit the review file and any common-issues updates together with the scorecard (or in a follow-up commit).

Do not skip validate or review. The routine keeps the handicap and briefing data accurate and leaves a readable review for future sprints.

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.
