040-quality

040-quality is a cursor rule for Cursor from Tholem-AI/Tholem-Cursor-Kit. It costs 237 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of rules for proving that code is ready through repeatable checks and command output.

In plain words
What is it for?
Running relevant quality checks, gathering validation evidence, and keeping implementation, roadmap, and key documentation consistent.
Why use it?
It prevents work from being called complete without validation, especially after dependency, API, environment, or large multi-file changes.

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

040-quality 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 3d 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

040-quality

Purpose

Enforce repeatable, command-backed validation and consistency checks before review/readiness declarations.

Mandatory policy

  1. Run relevant quality checks before declaring work ready for review.
  2. Require stricter validation for high-impact changes: dependencies, APIs, environment behavior, or major multi-file edits.
  3. Do not mark work complete without corresponding validation evidence, as required by .cursor/rules/020-execution.mdc.
  4. Keep implementation, ROADMAP.md, and key docs in sync, including docs/File-Structure-Reference.md and docs/Project-Constraints.md.
  5. Do not apply broad quality-driven rewrites without explicit user approval.

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.
