SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Teams struggle to know whether their coding‑agent instruction rules are actually being followed, leading to drift, hidden violations, and wasted effort.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Conformance Check: Scans the current codebase using Read, Glob, and Grep to verify rule compliance with concrete file‑level evidence.
  • Adherence Tracking: Leverages the alignkit toolset to analyze Claude Code session histories, providing trend data and historical compliance metrics.
  • Report Generation: Produces structured conformance and adherence reports, highlights violations, and offers actionable recommendations.

Quick Start

Ask Claude to check the project's rule compliance by invoking the check-rules skill.

Frequently Asked Questions about check-rules

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I audit codebase compliance with CLAUDE.md instruction rules?

To audit codebase compliance, the check-rules skill scans repository files using Read, Glob, and Grep to verify code structure, imports, and configurations against your CLAUDE.md instruction rules with concrete file-level evidence.

Can I track historical adherence to coding-agent instruction rules across Claude sessions?

You can track historical adherence to coding-agent instruction rules by leveraging the alignkit toolset to analyze Claude Code session histories, which provides trend data and historical compliance metrics over time.

What is the best way to check project rule conformance and highlight violations?

The best way to check project rule conformance is to invoke the check-rules skill, which produces structured conformance reports, highlights specific violations, and offers actionable recommendations for fixing them.

Do I need alignkit installed to analyze session adherence and compliance trends?

Yes, you need the alignkit toolset installed to analyze session adherence and compliance trends, as it provides the necessary functionality to read Claude Code session histories and generate historical compliance metrics.

How does rule compliance checking work for projects using CLAUDE.md instruction files?

Rule compliance checking works by analyzing code structure, imports, configurations, and session histories against the rules defined in your CLAUDE.md instruction files, requiring repository access to read and search source files for evidence.

What are the limitations of automated codebase conformance checks?

Automated codebase conformance checks require direct repository file access to read, glob, and grep source files for evidence, and depend on alignkit for session history analysis, limiting use without these dependencies.
