A set of Rails view conventions covering folders, file names, layouts, templates, and resource pages.

Use it when creating or editing Rails pages, layouts, partials, forms, shared elements, or resource index and detail views.

It gives views a predictable structure so developers can find, reuse, and maintain page templates more easily.

views — Cursor rule by wintermeyer

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.

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/wintermeyer/cursor-rails-rules

Made for: Cursor.

Per session 0 Nothing until a file matches its globs; then the whole rule loads.

When invoked 1,437 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

Security scan A 0 findings. Scan, not verified.

Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5	$0.00000	$0.01437
Opus 5	$0.00000	$0.00718
Sonnet 5	$0.00000	$0.00287
Haiku 4.5	$0.00000	$0.00144

Security

Grade A, and why

views 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 yesterday.

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 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.
