ruff-linting

ruff-linting is a cursor rule for Cursor from TechNickAI/ai-coding-config. It costs 4 tokens per session (236 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of ruff-linting, MIT.

A project rule for using Ruff, a tool that checks Python code for style and common errors. It also defines how to fix reported issues and document necessary exceptions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when Ruff reports problems or when someone asks to fix lint errors, including applying fixes repeatedly and adding specific justifications for valid ignores.
Why use it?
It gives the project a consistent way to find and correct Python lint errors instead of handling them differently each time.

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

ruff-linting scanned grade A 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.

Expected in a hook, worth knowing in a rule or an instructions file.

What it actually says

Ruff Linting

We use ruff for linting. If there are lint errors, or if the user says "fix lint errors":

  1. Run: ruff check --fix --unsafe-fixes
  2. Repeat until all errors are fixed

Using Targeted Ignores

For legitimate exceptions, use targeted ignores with specific rule codes and explanations:

# Include the rule code and why we're ignoring it
process = subprocess.Popen(["pbcopy"], stdin=subprocess.PIPE)  # ruff: ignore=S603,S607 - Needed for clipboard

result = eval(user_formula)  # ruff: ignore=S307 - Safe: formula validated by parser

api_key = os.getenv("SECRET_KEY")  # ruff: ignore=S105 - Environment variable, not hardcoded

Use # ruff: ignore=RULE_CODE format. Multiple rules: # ruff: ignore=S603,S607

When we fix all errors, celebrate! Clean code feels good. 🌟

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.
