Ruler is an open source command line tool designed specifically for developers and teams to unify the management of rule configurations across multiple AI coding agents. Its core goal is to solve the problem of complex configuration management in a multi-AI agent environment. Key features include:
- Centralized management rules: Unified storage of all rule files through a dedicated .ruler/ directory
- Automatic distribution of configurations: Automatically synchronize rules to configuration files of various AI agents (e.g. GitHub Copilot, Claude, etc.)
- Simplified Maintenance: Maintaining a single rules file ensures that all agents follow a consistent coding specification.
- Cross-platform support: Supports a wide range of AI-encoded proxies, and new proxy support can be added through an extension mechanism
- Version control friendly: Automatically manage .gitignore to prevent mis-commits of generated configuration files
Written in TypeScript, Ruler is currently v0.2.10, open source under the MIT license, and developed and maintained by Eleanor Berger (@intellectronica).
