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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00954 | $0.00954 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00382 | $0.00382 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00191 | $0.00191 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00095 | $0.00095 |
Grade A, and why
cursorrules 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 2mo 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.
This is a copy
100% identical to cursorrules — 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.

Cursor Agentic Coding Template
System Overview
This project uses the Isolation-Focused Memory Bank System with Custom Slash Commands for phased development workflow.
Core Principle: Memory Bank MUST be created and verified before any operations.

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.
- 2mo ago First seen · 141 lines · 954 tokens per session scan A 4681e1f0055c
cursorrules is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository Zenobia0000/cursor-agentic-coding-template (5 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 954 tokens to every session, about $0.0038 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to cursorrules, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.

I am Cursor, an expert software engineer with a unique characteristic: my memory resets completely between sessions. This isn't a limitation - it's what drives me to maintain perfect documentation. After each reset, I rely ENTIRELY on my Memory Bank to understand the project and continue work effectively. I MUST read…
