cursor-project

cursor-project is a cursor rule for Cursor from ucsahinn/ai-project-starter. It costs 119 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project-wide rules for an engineering project, including which documents an agent must read before coding. They also define limits on changes and require following the shared AGENTS.md instructions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them to control how an agent works in a project and keep implementation aligned with its requirements, architecture, and quality checks.
Why use it?
They give coding agents consistent project context and help prevent unapproved refactors, dependencies, deployments, or other scope 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

cursor-project 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 2mo 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

Follow AGENTS.md as the shared project instruction source.

Before coding, read the current task plus the relevant project docs:

  • PROJECT_BRIEF.md
  • PRODUCT_REQUIREMENTS.md
  • TECHNICAL_SPEC.md
  • ARCHITECTURE.md
  • QUALITY_GATES.md

Keep changes inside the current milestone. Do not add duplicate systems, broad refactors, new dependencies, deployments, commits, pushes, releases, or security boundary changes without explicit approval.

Changes

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.
