Privacy & data protection (minimization, classification, encryption, rights, transparency)
We split this codeguard-0-privacy-data-protection.mdc into the rules it gives an agent
2 rules. About 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈2
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
0
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 11
Use strong, up-to-date cryptographic algorithms for data in transit and at rest.
- Distinctive: line 18
Use Argon2 or bcrypt with unique salts per user
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 6,350 Cursor rule files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
Files
--- description: Privacy & data protection (minimization, classification, encryption, rights, transparency) globs: **/*.js,**/*.jsx,**/*.m,**/*.mjs,**/*.yaml,**/*.yml version: 1.0.1 --- rule_id: codeguard-0-privacy-data-protection - Implement strong cryptography, enforce HTTPS with HSTS, enable certificate pinning, and provide user privacy features to protect data and anonymity. - Use strong, up-to-date cryptographic algorithms for data in transit and at rest; securely hash passwords with established libraries. - Enforce HTTPS exclusively and implement HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS). - Implement certificate pinning to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks even if CAs are compromised. - Minimize IP address leakage by blocking third-party external content loading where feasible. - Maintain transparency by informing users about privacy limitations and data handling policies. - Implement privacy-focused audit trails and access logging. - Return "Invalid username or password" to prevent account enumeration - Use Argon2 or bcrypt with unique salts per user - Store sessions server-side with cryptographically random IDs
Where files are headingNew Cursor rule files have more rules about planning and tracking tasks, and fewer about code style.
Of the Cursor rule files we read, the 3,978 first seen in the last six months, against the older ones: the kind of rule that gained most share, and the kind that lost most. About files like this in general, not this one, and an estimate, since a kind is a pattern in the words.
In this repository24 other files it gives its agents.

Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.
No reviews yet
People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.
- It worked
- Partly
- It didn't
Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
