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

migrate-to-skills 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 7d 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.

Migrate Rules and Slash Commands to Skills

Convert Cursor rules ("Applied intelligently") and slash commands to Agent Skills format.

CRITICAL: Preserve the exact body content. Do not modify, reformat, or "improve" it - copy verbatim.

Locations

Level Source Destination
Project {workspaceFolder}/**/.cursor/rules/*.mdc, {workspaceFolder}/.cursor/commands/*.md
User ~/.cursor/commands/*.md

Notes:

  • Cursor rules inside the project can live in nested directories. Be thorough in your search and use glob patterns to find them.
  • Ignore anything in ~/.cursor/worktrees
  • Ignore anything in ~/.cursor/skills-cursor. This is reserved for Cursor's internal built-in skills and is managed automatically by the system.

Finding Files to Migrate

Rules: Migrate if rule has a description but NO globs and NO alwaysApply: true.

Commands: Migrate all - they're plain markdown without frontmatter.

Conversion Format

Rules: .mdc → SKILL.md

# Before: .cursor/rules/my-rule.mdc
---
description: What this rule does
globs:
alwaysApply: false
---
# Title
Body content...
# After: .cursor/skills/my-rule/SKILL.md
---
name: my-rule
description: What this rule does
---
# Title
Body content...

Changes: Add name field, remove globs/alwaysApply, keep body exactly.

Commands: .md → SKILL.md

# Before: .cursor/commands/commit.md
# Commit current work
Instructions here...
# After: .cursor/skills/commit/SKILL.md
---
name: commit
description: Commit current work with standardized message format
disable-model-invocation: true
---
# Commit current work
Instructions here...

Changes: Add frontmatter with name (from filename), description (infer from content), and disable-model-invocation: true, keep body exactly.

Note: The disable-model-invocation: true field prevents the model from automatically invoking this skill. Slash commands are designed to be explicitly triggered by the user via the / menu, not automatically suggested by the model.

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.
