Ranking

Blocking policies first, then a character budget. No embeddings.
1 min read

Ranking runs in @stacktaste/core on disk. No network.

Order#

  1. Every injectable policy with enforcement: block.
  2. Remaining injectable items until a ~3500 character budget.

Injectable = active or exception.

Score (non-blocking)#

Weighted mix of:

  • Confidence (accepts, reinforcements, mentions, rejects)
  • Authority (organization > team > project > personal)
  • Recency (half-life about 21 days)
  • Lexical match to the prompt or file paths
  • Explicit items slightly above inferred ones

Where it is used#

  • Cursor hook additional_context
  • MCP taste_context
  • Generated .cursor/rules/stacktaste.mdc

Do not invent extra rules beyond this slice.
