scan

A rule for running a complete Archguardian scan of a project and explaining the findings by severity.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to scan the project, review each finding, consider automatic fixes, suppress false positives, or create a baseline for an existing project.
Why use it?
It gives you a structured view of code-quality problems and helps separate urgent errors from warnings and informational results.

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 0 Nothing until a file matches its globs; then the whole rule loads.
When invoked 143 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

scan 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

Scan project with archguardian

When the user asks to scan or analyze the project:

  1. Run npx archguardian scan --format json
  2. Parse findings grouped by severity (errors > warnings > info)
  3. For each finding explain what the rule checks, show the code, suggest a fix
  4. If many findings exist, summarize top issues first
  5. Offer to auto-fix (npx archguardian fix) or suppress false positives
  6. If first-time adoption with many findings, suggest npx archguardian scan --update-baseline
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.

scan is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository ysfAskri/archguardian (4 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 143 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
