justfile

A path-specific rule for Just, a command runner that stores project tasks in a file called a justfile.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating, editing, checking, discovering, or migrating Just recipes and justfiles.
Why use it?
It keeps Just recipes and migrations under the right guidance and avoids using shell-script rules for Just-specific work.

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.

Made for: Cursor.

Per session 8 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 230 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.

Security

Grade A, and why

justfile 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 2d 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

Justfile path rule

When creating, editing, migrating, checking, or discovering Just recipes / justfiles, use /justfile.

  • Own: new justfiles, recipe/module edits, Makefile→just or npm→just migration, house-style lint/check, recipe discovery (just --list / --show / --dump).
  • Hygiene-only (naming, layout notes, thin shell/Makefile pointers without Just authoring): shell-conventions.
  • Do not use shell-scripter for Just authoring; that skill owns shell scripts and Make file-timestamp builds, not justfiles.

Inspect just --version before relying on mid-2026 attributes. Prefer /justfile over ad-hoc Just edits when this path rule fires.

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.
