service-class-conventions

service-class-conventions is a cursor rule for Cursor from toptalentcoder/Cursor-AwesomeRules. It costs 172 tokens per session, scanned A, a copy of service-class-conventions, CC0-1.0.

A set of rules for Java Spring service layers, which hold application operations between controllers and database repositories. It separates service interfaces from their implementations and standardizes data transfer objects (DTOs) and transactions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when designing service interfaces, implementing business logic, validating records, mapping DTOs, or grouping multiple database operations in one transaction.
Why use it?
It keeps business logic out of controllers and helps ensure related database changes succeed or fail together. It also avoids exposing database entities unnecessarily.

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

service-class-conventions 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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to service-class-conventions — 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

  • Service classes must be of type interface.
  • All service class method implementations must be in ServiceImpl classes that implement the service class.
  • All ServiceImpl classes must be annotated with @Service.
  • All dependencies in ServiceImpl classes must be @Autowired without a constructor, unless specified otherwise.
  • Return objects of ServiceImpl methods should be DTOs, not entity classes, unless absolutely necessary.
  • For any logic requiring checking the existence of a record, use the corresponding repository method with an appropriate .orElseThrow lambda method.
  • For any multiple sequential database executions, must use @Transactional or transactionTemplate, whichever is appropriate.

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.
