with-command-file

A project rule for changing command files in the `src/commands` folder. It requires reviewing how the application loads, routes, and runs commands before editing them.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when reading or modifying command files, especially when adding commands, changing arguments, or updating command startup behavior.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of changes that conflict with the project's command structure or conventions.

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 224 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

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

with-command-file 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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to with-command-file — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

Instructions For Reading and Modifying Command Files In "src/commands"

Before you read or modify any files in "src/commands" ensure you read and understand how command files work by doing the following:

  • Review how commands are loaded and executed in cli.ts
  • Review how commands are routed and arguments handled
  • Review the entrypoint of the application in mod.ts
  • Review the general commands available (shown as Deno Tasks) in deno.jsonc
  • Review the project readme in README.md
  • Review one example command currently enabled such as start.ts

Summary

Reviewing how commands work in the application will ensure any changes you might make to them will adhere to the standards and patterns of this codebase, and ensure consistency in code across the commands.

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.
