usecase-flows

usecase-flows is a cursor rule for Cursor from vypdev/copilot. It costs 8 tokens per session (217 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A map of the ways an automation handles events such as issues, pull requests, pushes, and one-off actions. It shows which use case and ordered steps run for each event.

In plain words
What is it for?
Tracing execution from mainRun through permission checks, branch preparation, issue or pull-request handling, and commit handling. It can also help review or change the order of those steps.
Why use it?
It makes a large event-handling system easier to understand and helps developers see why a particular action path was chosen.

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

usecase-flows 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.

What it actually says

Use case flows

The maintained flow catalog is _agent/docs/usecase-flows.md. Read that file and the current composition roots before changing orchestration; this rule does not carry a second action list that can drift.

At a high level:

GitHub/local input
  -> setup and workflow queue
  -> resolveMainRunRoute
  -> composed issue, PR, push, comment, or single-action handler
  -> application workflows behind semantic ports

Release and hotfix operations enter through the canonical durable callbacks: prepare_deployment_action, continue_deployment_action, published_deployment_action, and failed_deployment_action. Their exact catalog lives only in src/data/model/action_types.ts.

Issue workflow labels may prepare a release or hotfix branch, but publication, promotion, reconciliation, and cleanup belong to DeploymentOrchestrationUseCase. Do not introduce a label-driven completion or a second PR merge path.

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.
