Cairn: Skill for Cursor

.cursor/skills/verify-cairn/SKILL.md

verify-cairn is a skill for Cursor from QuarkOS/Cairn. It costs 55 tokens per session (1,818 once invoked), scanned C, original, no licence file.

A skill for testing a Cairn development instance in isolation through its HTTP API or desk interface. It captures evidence showing whether actions such as asserting, recalling, and retracting information work end to end.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to test Cairn workflows, check behaviour before release, or collect proof that stored information can be added, read, and removed.
Why use it?
It provides a repeatable way to verify Cairn behaviour after changes and to keep proof for releases or reviews.

This is QuarkOS/Cairn's own configuration. It tells Cursor how to work on Cairn itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything Cairn configures →

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 C, and why

verify-cairn scanned grade C with 2 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 9 executable files (scripts/cleanup.sh, scripts/doctor.sh, scripts/drive-api-assert-recall.sh, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Downloads and executes remote codehighSupply chain

curl | sh runs whatever the server returns today, which is not necessarily what it returned when this was reviewed.

curl -sf "http://127.0.0.1:${PORT}/api/cairn" | node -e "const b=JSON.parse(require('fs').readFileSync(0,'utf8')); console.log(b.beliefs.filter(x=>x.current.attribute==='verify.marker').length)"

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

**Ready signal:** `curl -sf http://127.0.0.1:14721/api/cairn` returns JSON with `"kind":"recalled"`.

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.
