000-project-conventions

000-project-conventions is a cursor rule for Cursor from wshobson/agents. It costs 322 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project rules for a marketplace that supports several coding-agent tools, with source files and generated files kept separate. They also define the project’s Python tools and safety requirements.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when adding plugins, generating files for different agent tools, running Python checks, or reviewing repository changes.
Why use it?
They help contributors edit the correct files and regenerate platform-specific output consistently. They reduce accidental changes to generated files, credentials, or Git history.

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.

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

000-project-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 4d 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

claude-agents conventions

This is a multi-harness plugin marketplace. Source lives under plugins/; per-harness artifacts (.codex/, .cursor-plugin/, .opencode/, commands/) are generated.

  • Don't hand-edit anything under .codex/, .cursor-plugin/, .opencode/, or top-level commands/, agents/, skills/ — regenerate via make generate HARNESS=<x>.
  • Python tooling: uv (package manager), ruff (lint/format), ty (type check). Do not use pip/mypy/black.
  • Plugin files: plugins/<name>/{.claude-plugin/plugin.json, agents/*.md, skills/<name>/SKILL.md, commands/*.md}. Auto-discovered.
  • Cursor reads .claude/skills/ and .claude/agents/ directly — no separate .cursor/skills/ is generated.

Never

  • Never commit secrets or hardcode credentials.
  • Never hand-edit generated registries (.agents/plugins/marketplace.json, .cursor-plugin/) — plugin PRs register the plugin in .claude-plugin/marketplace.json, then run make generate-all (see CONTRIBUTING.md).
  • Never run destructive git operations (force-push, reset --hard, branch -D) without explicit ask.

See docs/authoring.md for the portable-content style guide.

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.
