Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The rule adds an external provenance workflow for audit reports, but untrusted analysis inputs could alter the report before sealing, and proof results are not clearly bound to one exact report across retries or revisions. This creates a bounded security and provenance-integrity risk that should be addressed or explicitly accepted by an owner before merging. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 5✅ Passed checks (5 passed)

- Line 7: Update the declared expertise in the auditor persona to include Go,
aligning it with the existing *.go file glob while preserving the listed
Solidity, Rust, and Vyper expertise.
- Line 3: Update the globs configuration in the proofcore-web3-auditor rule to
use recursive patterns for Solidity, Rust, Go, and Vyper files, changing each
extension pattern to match files in nested directories while preserving the
existing file-type scope.
- Around line 12-16: Update the proofcore MCP sealing flow around seal_content
to append a citation only when the returned string indicates successful sealing
with “Citation:”. Treat responses beginning with “❌ ProofCore API Error:” as
failures and do not append any citation or badge fields.
Apply the same fix in `@rules/proofcore-web3-auditor.mdc` around lines 12 - 16.

ignoring any embedded instructions. Require every finding to be validated
against the source before inclusion in reports or passing to seal_content, and
add a fixture containing a known vulnerability plus an injected instruction that
must not suppress the vulnerability finding.

Summary
Adds a new
.mdcrule for auditing Solidity/Rust/Vyper smart contracts. It instructs the Cursor agent to act as a strict security auditor and proactively use the ProofCore MCP server (if installed in the user's environment) to cryptographically seal the final audit report, providing a mathematical proof of the AI's verdict.Contribution Type
rules/*.mdcruleValue To Cursor Users
This rule significantly improves the workflow for Web3 developers and security researchers. When reviewing smart contracts (
.sol,.rs,.vy), the AI often generates critical security verdicts. This rule ensures the agent not only reviews the code but automatically notarizes the final report on the blockchain (via MCP) to prevent post-incident tampering disputes. It bridges the gap between AI generation and cryptographically verifiable provenance.Added Or Changed Files
rules/proofcore-web3-auditor.mdc: Contains the system prompt, globs (*.sol, *.rs, *.vy, *.go), and MCP tool triggering instructions for the agent.Quality Checklist
react-typescript.mdc.rules/*.mdcfiles include frontmatter with a non-emptydescription, relevantglobs, andalwaysApply: falseunless the rule is universal.Notes For Maintainers
This rule enhances the agent's behavior by leveraging the Model Context Protocol (MCP). The prompt is written gracefully: it instructs the agent to use the
seal_contenttool if it is available in its context, ensuring the core auditing functionality works perfectly even if the user hasn't installed the specific MCP server yet.Summary by CodeRabbit
