Does this skill provide templates?

Yes, it includes ready-to-use templates for coding standards, prohibited practices, and style guides to help you structure your rules effectively.

What is a Claude Code rule?

A rule is a persistent markdown file stored in the .claude/rules/ directory that provides instructions Claude follows consistently throughout a development session.

Can I have multiple rule files?

Yes, it is recommended to keep one topic per rule file to maintain clarity and focus, such as separate files for 'Typescript Standards' and 'API Design'.

When should I use the Create-Rule skill instead of a regular prompt?

Use this skill for long-term project guidelines like naming conventions or architecture; use direct prompts for one-time instructions.

How do I test if my new rule is working?

After creating the rule in .claude/rules/, start a new session and ask Claude to perform a task that the rule addresses to verify compliance.

Developer Tools

Standardizes the creation of persistent Claude Code rules to enforce project-specific coding conventions and architectural patterns.

The Create-Rule skill provides a structured framework for developing effective Claude Code rules within the .claude/rules/ directory. It enables developers to move beyond repetitive prompting by establishing persistent instructions for coding standards, style preferences, and prohibited patterns. By utilizing standardized templates and best practices, this skill ensures that Claude maintains consistent behavior across sessions, helping teams automate code quality enforcement and align the AI with specific project requirements and architectural boundaries.
