SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Writing AI rules that work consistently across Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, and other tools can be error-prone if rules are ambiguous or poorly structured. This skill provides a principled approach to authoring cross-tool AI coding rules that are clear, testable, and auditable.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Unambiguous rule templates that translate across multiple AI tools.
  • Testable criteria for each rule (Did It Work? criteria) and a defined auditing workflow.
  • Cross-tool compatibility guidance for Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, Q, and Kiro.
  • Use cases include creating new rules, auditing existing rules for ambiguity, and adapting rules for new tools.

Quick Start

Provide a concise, practical guide for creating cross-tool AI rules that are unambiguous and testable.

FAQPage Schema
How do I write cross-tool AI coding rules that work in Cursor and Claude Code?

Cross-tool AI coding rules require unambiguous templates with testable criteria that translate consistently across tools like Cursor, Claude Code, and Codex. This Skill provides a principled approach to authoring rules that are clear, testable, and auditable across multiple environments.

What makes an AI coding rule testable and auditable?

Testable AI coding rules include defined "Did It Work?" criteria for each rule and a structured auditing workflow. This Skill enforces unambiguous rule templates with explicit testing criteria, allowing you to verify rule effectiveness and audit existing rules for ambiguity.

How do I audit existing AI rules for ambiguity across different tools?

Auditing existing AI rules involves checking for unambiguous structure and defined testable criteria. This Skill applies a principled auditing workflow to evaluate and adapt coding rules, ensuring they are clear and compatible across toolchains like Copilot, Q, and Kiro.

Does this approach to authoring AI rules require specific dependencies or scripts?

Authoring cross-tool AI rules with this Skill requires no external dependencies or scripts. It satisfies frontmatter requirements for name and description natively, acknowledging optional references and assets while emphasizing safe, well-documented guidance for AI-assisted programming.

What is the best way to adapt coding rules for new AI programming tools?

Adapting coding rules for new tools requires applying cross-tool compatibility guidance and principled templates. This Skill helps you translate and adjust existing rules to fit new AI toolchains, ensuring they remain unambiguous, testable, and properly documented across projects.

Why do my AI coding rules behave inconsistently across different AI assistants?

AI coding rules behave inconsistently when they are ambiguous or poorly structured. This Skill solves the problem by providing unambiguous rule templates, defined testable criteria, and cross-tool compatibility guidance to ensure consistent behavior across Cursor, Claude Code, and Codex.
