backend-rules

backend-rules is a cursor rule for Cursor from tw-haiven/haiven-mcp-server. It costs 4 tokens per session (127 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A set of instructions for Python API work in the app/ folder. It explains where the code and tests live, how to start the project, and how dependencies should be passed into classes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when changing the backend, running tests, starting the application, or designing classes that need external services passed into them.
Why use it?
It keeps backend work consistent and avoids common setup and testing mistakes, such as running commands from the wrong folder or forgetting the virtual environment.

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

backend-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 5d 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

  • Our backend is in Python and in the app/ subfolder. The app needs to be started from that directory.
  • The backend tests are in app/tests/
  • When running tests or the application, the virtual environment in app/.venv first needs to be activated
  • We're using constructor dependency injections to make our code more testable. Pass dependencies in via constructors, do not initialise them inside of a class.
  • When we wrap up a backend change, make sure to remind me to start up the whole application, to make sure that it's all well-integrated.

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.
