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.
npx agentmods add rules/tentacleopera/switchboard/cursorrulesgit clone --depth 1 https://github.com/TentacleOpera/switchboardWhat 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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00413 | $0.00413 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00206 | $0.00206 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00083 | $0.00083 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00041 | $0.00041 |
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 2d 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
Switchboard Configuration for Cursor (Composer)
This project uses the Switchboard protocol for cross-IDE agent collaboration.
Setup
- Coordinate with other agents using the workflow triggers below.
Available Workflow Tools (Workflow Coordination Only)
The following tools are used solely for workflow coordination and agent communication. Do not use them for API operations:
- get_team_roster — Discover registered terminals/chat agents and their roles.
- start_workflow / complete_workflow_phase / stop_workflow — Workflow control.
- get_workflow_state — Inspect active workflow and phase status.
- run_in_terminal — Execute commands in a registered terminal.
- set_agent_status — Update terminal/chat availability status.
- handoff_clipboard — Copy prepared handoff artifacts to clipboard.
Available Skills (Preferred for API Operations)
For API operations (ClickUp, Linear, diagram generation), use skill-based invocations:
- clickup_api — Direct ClickUp API access via LocalApiServer proxy.
- clickup_attach — Attach files to ClickUp tasks via LocalApiServer.
- clickup_create_subpage — Create doc pages in ClickUp via LocalApiServer.
- clickup_create_task — Create ClickUp tasks with optional subtasks via LocalApiServer.
- clickup_fetch — Fetch ClickUp tasks/lists with name resolution.
- clickup_modify_task — Update ClickUp task properties via LocalApiServer.
- linear_api — Direct Linear API access via LocalApiServer proxy.
- generate_diagram — Generate architectural diagrams via LocalApiServer.
Workflow Triggers
| Trigger | Workflow | Description |
|---|---|---|
/improve-plan |
improve-plan | Deep planning, dependency checks, and adversarial review |
/accuracy |
accuracy | High-accuracy solo mode |
/switchboard-chat |
switchboard-chat | Product Manager consultation (no code) |
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 TentacleOpera/switchboard (213 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 413 tokens to every session, about $0.0021 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 2026-08-30.
