Skill for Cursor

Written for Cursor: installed under .cursor/.

This is vellum-ai/vellum-assistant's own configuration. It tells Cursor how to work on vellum-assistant 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 vellum-assistant 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 A, and why

vellum-pr-readiness 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 12d 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

Vellum PR Readiness

Goal

Confirm the branch is reviewable, scoped, and verified before opening a PR. Prefer surfacing blockers over polishing summaries.

Checklist

  1. Inspect git status and identify unrelated changes, generated artifacts, deleted files, and untracked files.
  2. Inspect staged and unstaged diffs before recommending a commit or PR.
  3. Check for secrets:
    • Do not commit .env, credentials, tokens, private keys, or local workspace data.
    • .env.example is allowed only for placeholder values.
  4. Check scope:
    • If the branch is too large, suggest splitting it into smaller, reviewable PR branches.
    • Separate unrelated UI, backend, migration, and infra changes when practical.
  5. Check required follow-ups:
    • Migration needed for persisted data or workspace format changes.
    • Docs needed for significant architecture, service, or data-flow changes.
    • Companion vellum-assistant-platform PR needed for platform-affecting contracts or new feature flags.
  6. Check Linear conventions:
    • Branch, commit body, and PR body should include the Linear issue ID when one exists.
    • Use Closes JARVIS-123 for single final PRs.
    • Use Part of JARVIS-123 for intermediate PRs in multi-PR plans.
  7. Check verification:
    • Focused tests ran for changed behavior.
    • Typecheck ran when exported contracts or cross-package types changed.
    • Any skipped tests are explicitly called out.

PR Body Template

Use this compact structure unless the user asks for another format:

## Summary
- ...

## Test Plan
- ...

## Risk
- ...

Mention migrations, feature flags, rollout state, and companion PRs when relevant.

Human Attention Comments

For non-routine changes, leave a PR comment calling out review focus and risk level. Skip this for routine low-risk changes.

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.
