Beast Mode

Beast Mode is a custom chat mode for VS Code agent that adds an opinionated workflow to the agent, including use of a todo list, extensive internet research capabilities, planning, tool usage instructions and more. Designed to be used with 4.1, although it will work with any model.

Below you will find the Beast Mode prompt in various versions - starting with the most recent - 3.1

Installation Instructions

  • Go to the "agent" dropdown in VS Code chat sidebar and select "Configure Modes".
  • Select "Create new custom chat mode file"

Security Checklist (What can be done in CursorAI & software-level not infrastructure!)

Configuration Security

  • Detect secrets in code
  • Identify secrets committed to version control
  • Flag hardcoded credentials

Authentication & Authorization

  • Identify missing authentication checks
  • Detect improper authorization patterns
**Project Approach**
* Always check for a PRD (Product Requirements Document) before starting a new task and follow it closely
* Look for comprehensive project documentation to understand requirements before making changes
* Focus only on code areas relevant to the assigned task
* Prefer iterating on existing code rather than creating new solutions
* Keep solutions simple and avoid introducing unnecessary complexity
**Code Quality**

StackOverflow Dec 2024 stats

Disclaimer: I'm in the Top 1% of StackOverflow contributors with 23,315 rep points.

I asked 1 high-quality question in 2024, and it was closed almost immediately, and I haven't engaged with the site since.

If someone with 20,000+ karma has their nicely-formatted questions closed so quickly, what must the newbies and rank-in-file encounter? This is probably a big reason why it's declining.

1 bug, $50,000+ in bounties, how Zendesk intentionally left a backdoor in hundreds of Fortune 500 companies

hi, i'm daniel. i'm a 15-year-old with some programming experience and i do a little bug hunting in my free time. here's the insane story of how I found a single bug that affected over half of all Fortune 500 companies:

say hello to zendesk

If you've spent some time online, you’ve probably come across Zendesk.

Zendesk is a customer service tool used by some of the world’s top companies. It’s easy to set up: you link it to your company’s support email (like [email protected]), and Zendesk starts managing incoming emails and creating tickets. You can handle these tickets yourself or have a support team do it for you. Zendesk is a billion-dollar company, trusted by big names like Cloudflare.

Personally, I’ve always found it surprising that these massive companies, worth billions, rely on third-party tools like Zendesk instead of building their own in-house ticketing systems.

INVERT A BINARY TREE - $10k AI REASONING CHALLENGE (v2)

THE PROBLEM

🌲 Invert a binary tree! 🌲

Except with 3 catches:

  1. It must invert the keys ("bit-reversal permutation")
  2. It must be a dependency-free, pure recursive function
  3. It must have type Bit -> Tree -> Tree (i.e., a direct recursion with max 1 bit state)
