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.

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 5.1 | $0.00053 | $0.00053 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00021 | $0.00021 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00011 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00005 |
Grade A, and why
debugging-and-testing-rules 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 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.
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.
This is a copy
100% identical to debugging-and-testing-rules — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
What it actually says
- Include debug information in log files.
- Write unit tests for new code.
- Ensure all tests pass before merging.
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.

debugging-and-testing-rules is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository toptalentcoder/Cursor-AwesomeRules (6 stars, last pushed 1y ago), licensed CC0-1.0. It adds 53 tokens to every session, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to debugging-and-testing-rules, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
