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/.
# 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 "*"
rulesync init creates rulesync.jsonc config and .rulesync/ directory with sample rules.rulesync/rules/, MCP configs in .rulesync/mcp/, commands in .rulesync/commands/rulesync generate produces tool-specific files (CLAUDE.md, .cursorrules, .github/copilot-instructions.md, etc.)rulesync generate --dry-run previews changes; --check validates files are up to date (useful in CI)| Command | Purpose |
|---|---|
rulesync init | Scaffold project with config and sample rules |
rulesync generate --targets "*" --features "*" | Generate all tool configs from unified rules |
rulesync import --targets <tool> | Import existing tool config into unified format |
rulesync fetch owner/repo --features skills | Fetch rules or skills from a remote repository |
rulesync install | Install skill sources declared in rulesync.jsonc |
rulesync generate --check | CI check that generated files are up to date |
rulesync generate --dry-run | Preview changes without writing files |
Maps rulesync feature implementations to upstream coding-agent documentation. Use when evaluating rulesync issues, comparing any coding-agent client with rulesync source capability surfaces, checking support, or planning a client map.
Guide for creating effective skills. This skill should be used when users want to create a new skill (or update an existing skill) that extends Claude's capabilities with specialized knowledge, workflows, or tool integrations.
