Rulesync

Rulesync generates and synchronizes AI rule configuration files across 20+ coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Windsurf, Cline, Gemini CLI, and more) from a single set of unified rule files in .rulesync/.

Quick Start

# Install
npm install -g rulesync
 
# New project: initialize config, rules, and directory structure
rulesync init
 
# Import existing AI tool configs into unified format
rulesync import --targets claudecode    # From CLAUDE.md
rulesync import --targets cursor        # From .cursorrules
rulesync import --targets copilot       # From .github/copilot-instructions.md
 
# Generate tool-specific configs from unified rules
rulesync generate --targets "*" --features "*"

Core Workflow

1. Init - rulesync init creates rulesync.jsonc config and .rulesync/ directory with sample rules
2. Write rules - Add shared AI rules in .rulesync/rules/, MCP configs in .rulesync/mcp/, commands in .rulesync/commands/
3. Generate - rulesync generate produces tool-specific files (CLAUDE.md, .cursorrules, .github/copilot-instructions.md, etc.)
4. Verify - rulesync generate --dry-run previews changes; --check validates files are up to date (useful in CI)
