| description | List and reconcile canonical rules across a bounded collection of local repositories. Use when the user asks which rules repositories have, where they occur, or whether a shared rule has conflicting language. |
List Rules
Dependencies
coordinate-repositories — identifies the bounded repository collection and safely gathers the canonical artifacts.
Read each applicable repository's canonical .agents/rules/<name>.md files. Exclude repositories whose primary purpose is developing, packaging, testing, or operating the agent-synchronization system itself unless the user explicitly includes them.
For each rule name, merge the repository names that contain it. Compare complete canonical rule text, including frontmatter. Group identical texts and use the largest group as the baseline. If any other group exists, report every repository outside that baseline as having conflicting language. If two or more groups tie for largest, report all tied groups as conflicting rather than choosing an arbitrary baseline.
Output
Return only these headings and sorted Markdown lists, with no status summary or extra prose:
Rules
- rule-name — (repo-one, repo-two)
## Conflicting Rule Language
- rule-name
- Baseline: repo-one, repo-two
- Different language: repo-three
Omit ## Conflicting Rule Language when no differences exist. If no rules exist, return - None under Rules.
