prerequisites

prerequisites is a cursor rule for Cursor from TheWebScrapingClub/AI-Cursor-Scraping-Assistant. It costs 109 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A short preparation rule for building a Scrapy spider, a Python program that collects data from websites. It requires checking the current project path and confirming that the preparation steps were completed before implementation begins.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it at the beginning of a Scrapy task to identify the full project path and confirm completion of the required prerequisites.
Why use it?
It helps ensure the scraper is created in the correct project and that required preparation is recorded before coding starts.

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

prerequisites 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.

Step by step prerequisites actions to perform

  • Get with the pwd command the full path of the current project. Store in the context the current full path of the project. After you read it, please confirm in chat you did this step.
  • Once you performed every prerequisite, write in chat that you performed all the prerequisite actions.

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.
