code-standards Cursor ruleA

code-standards from space-dinosaurs/dinostack is a Cursor rule: instructions the Cursor agent follows in that repo.

Install it, pinned
mdr add space-dinosaurs/dinostack/.cursor/rules/code-standards.mdc@git:20261007.7cb691b

Pins git:20261007.7cb691b in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Code quality gates, tool discipline, package management, and browser verification for software engineering tasks.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

## Documentation Lookups

Verify consequential assumptions about library, framework, or SDK behavior against current authoritative documentation for the relevant version. Use Context7 when available; see `content/references/code-standards-detail.md` §Documentation Lookups when investigating or implementing such behavior.

## Tool Discipline

Prefer suitable dedicated tools when available; use shell tools when they are unavailable or do not cover the task. Choose efficient output and measure cost before adopting new tools. Read `content/references/code-standards-detail.md` §Tool Discipline when choosing search tools or evaluating tool integrations.

## Module Manifests

Non-trivial source files (exported symbols consumed elsewhere, over ~50 lines of logic, or side effects) are encouraged to carry a manifest header. Read `content/rules/module-manifest.md` for fields and exemptions when creating or substantially modifying one. Skeptic reports manifest gaps as **Minor**.

## DRY and Abstraction

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add space-dinosaurs/dinostack/.cursor/rules/code-standards.mdc@sha256:72b6c867e7064283

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261007.7cb691b, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
