pampa-project-structure

pampa-project-structure is a cursor rule for Cursor from tecnomanu/pampa. It costs 0 tokens per session (570 once invoked), scanned A, original, ISC.

A project-structure guide for PAMPA, a system that indexes code so AI agents can search it by meaning. It explains where the main files, databases, and generated indexes belong.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when navigating, changing, or extending PAMPA’s command-line tool, agent server, code indexer, or search engine.
Why use it?
It helps developers find the right parts of the project and understand which files are shared or generated.

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

pampa-project-structure 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 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.

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.

PAMPA Project Structure Guide

This is the PAMPA (Protocol for Augmented Memory of Project Artifacts) project - an MCP-compatible semantic code search system.

Core Architecture Files

Main Entry Points

  • cli.js - Command line interface, handles npx pampa commands
  • mcp-server.js - MCP server that exposes tools to AI agents
  • package.json - Project configuration and dependencies

Core Engine

  • service.js - Core business logic: indexing, searching, chunking
  • indexer.js - Tree-sitter based code parsing and chunking
  • providers.js - Embedding providers (OpenAI, Transformers, Ollama, Cohere)

Generated Files

  • pampa.codemap.json - Lightweight index committed to git
  • .pampa/pampa.db - SQLite database with vectors and metadata (not committed)
  • .pampa/chunks/*.gz - Compressed code chunks (not committed)

Technology Stack

  • Node.js - Runtime environment
  • SQLite3 - Local vector database
  • Tree-sitter - Code parsing and AST analysis
  • OpenAI/Transformers.js - Embedding generation
  • MCP Protocol - AI agent communication
  • gzip - Code chunk compression

Key Concepts

  1. Chunking: Code is split into semantic units (functions, classes, methods)
  2. Embedding: Each chunk gets vectorized for semantic search
  3. Indexing: Vectors + metadata stored in local SQLite
  4. Codemap: Git-friendly JSON index for context portability
  5. MCP Serving: Tools exposed to AI agents via MCP protocol

Development Workflow

  1. CLI Development: Modify cli.js for new commands
  2. MCP Tools: Add tools in mcp-server.js
  3. Core Logic: Business logic goes in service.js
  4. New Providers: Add embedding providers in providers.js

File Patterns

  • *.js - Main application code
  • *.md - Documentation and rules
  • .pampa/ - Generated database and chunks (gitignored)
  • examples/ - Test projects for validation
  • test/ - Test suite

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.
