# Rulesync Rulesync generates and synchronizes AI rule configuration files across 20+ coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Cline, Gemini CLI, and more) from a single set of unified rule files in `.rulesync/`. ## Quick Start ```bash # 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) ## Key Commands | 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` | Fetch 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 | | `rulesync generate --watch` | Regenerate whenever source files change | | `rulesync docs [document]` | Print bundled documentation | | `rulesync docs --search <text>` | Search the bundled documentation | ## Detailed Reference The complete Rulesync documentation is bundled with the CLI. **Consult it with `rulesync docs` before answering Rulesync-specific questions or performing unfamiliar Rulesync operations** — it is the canonical detailed reference. - `rulesync docs` — list every available document identifier - `rulesync docs <document>` — print one document, e.g. `rulesync docs faq` or `rulesync docs guide/configuration` - `rulesync docs --search <text>` — ranked full-text search across the documentation, e.g. `rulesync docs --search "global mode"` Useful starting points: `getting-started/quick-start`, `guide/configuration`, `reference/cli-commands`, `reference/supported-tools`, `reference/file-formats`, `faq`.
