SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Copy canonical claudet rule files into the current project's .claude/rules/ to ensure consistent, per-project rule enforcement.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Per-project rule isolation: maintains real, project-scoped rule files that teammates clone with the codebase.
  • Diff-aware updates: updates can overwrite or merge with per-project changes, keeping local customizations intact.
  • Selective installs: install only chosen rules and audit what's present or missing.

Quick Start

Install the canonical claudet rules into the current project by running make install.

FAQPage Schema
How do I install per-project Claude rules for my codebase?▼

Installing per-project Claude rules involves running `make install` to copy canonical claudet files into the `.claude/rules/` directory. This ensures the project remains self-contained and teammates clone the rule files with the codebase.

What is per-project rule isolation and why does it matter?▼

Per-project rule isolation maintains real, project-scoped rule files that teammates clone with the codebase. This ensures consistent rule enforcement without relying on external global configurations across different environments.

Can I update Claude rules without overwriting local customizations?▼

You can update Claude rules without losing local customizations because the diff-aware update feature merges changes selectively. It overwrites or merges with per-project modifications, keeping local customizations intact while guiding user decisions.

Does the claudet rules install work for existing codebases?▼

The claudet rules install applies to both new projects and existing codebases. It copies canonical files into the `.claude/rules/` directory, enabling diff-aware updates and per-project rule integrity regardless of project age.

How do I install only specific Claude rules for a project?▼

To install only specific Claude rules, use the selective installs feature. This allows you to install only chosen rules and audit what rule files are present or missing in the current project's `.claude/rules/` directory.
