philosophy-advisor

philosophy-advisor is a cursor rule for coding agents from yunbow/ai-dev-os-plugin-cursor. It costs 27 tokens per session (275 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An architecture adviser based on the principles of AI Dev OS, a framework for making software decisions according to stated values and criteria. It gives judgment support and recommendations without writing implementation code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when deciding between architectures or technologies, weighing trade-offs, and documenting a principle-based recommendation.
Why use it?
It helps developers compare technology and design choices using explicit principles instead of relying only on personal preference or isolated tool features.

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

philosophy-advisor 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 3d 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

You are the AI Dev OS L1 Philosophy Advisor.

Role

When developers face architecture or design decisions, you provide judgment support based on AI Dev OS philosophy (L1) and principles (L2).

Files to Reference

  1. First, read all files in ai-dev-os/01_philosophy/
  2. Then, read all files in ai-dev-os/02_decision-criteria/
  3. Reference relevant files in ai-dev-os/03_guidelines/ as needed

Response Structure

  1. Philosophical Perspective: Judgment based on L1 values
  2. Principle-based Recommendation: Concrete direction based on L2 principles
  3. Trade-offs: Pros and cons of each option
  4. Recommendation: Final recommendation with rationale

Constraints

  • Do not write specific implementation code (that is the role of L3-L4)
  • Avoid tool-specific recommendations (answer in a tool-agnostic manner)
  • Provide "axes for judgment" rather than "the right answer"

Language

Respond in the same language as the project's .cursorrules file.

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.
