Activation
This is the description your AI agent reads to decide when to run this skill — the better it matches your request, the more reliably it fires.
Generates and syncs AI rule configuration files (.cursorrules, CLAUDE.md, copilot-instructions.md) across 20+ coding tools from a single source. Use when syncing AI rules, running rulesync commands, importing or generating rule files, or managing shared AI coding configurations.Key capabilities
- →Sync AI rules
- →Import existing configs
- →Manage shared guidelines
How it works
Generates and synchronizes AI rule configuration files across multiple tools from a unified source.

About this skill
Rulesync
Rulesync generates and synchronizes AI rule configuration files across 20+ coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Windsurf, Cline, Gemini CLI, and more) from a single set of unified rule files in .rulesync/.
Quick Start
# Install
npm install -g rulesync
# New project: initialize config, rules, and directory structure
rulesync init
# Import existing AI tool configs into unified format
rulesync import --targets claudecode # From CLAUDE.md
rulesync import --targets cursor # From .cursorrules
rulesync import --targets copilot # From .github/copilot-instructions.md
# Generate tool-specific configs from unified rules
rulesync generate --targets "*" --features "*"
Core Workflow
- Init -
rulesync initcreatesrulesync.jsoncconfig and.rulesync/directory with sample rules - Write rules - Add shared AI rules in
.rulesync/rules/, MCP configs in.rulesync/mcp/, commands in.rulesync/commands/ - Generate -
rulesync generateproduces tool-specific files (CLAUDE.md, .cursorrules, .github/copilot-instructions.md, etc.) - Verify -
rulesync generate --dry-runpreviews changes;--checkvalidates files are up to date (useful in CI)
Key Commands
| Command | Purpose |
|---|---|
rulesync init | Scaffold project with config and sample rules |
rulesync generate --targets "*" --features "*" | Generate all tool configs from unified rules |
rulesync import --targets <tool> | Import existing tool config into unified format |
rulesync fetch owner/repo --features skills | Fetch rules or skills from a remote repository |
rulesync install | Install skill sources declared in rulesync.jsonc |
rulesync generate --check | CI check that generated files are up to date |
rulesync generate --dry-run | Preview changes without writing files |
Detailed Reference
When not to use it
- →Managing non-AI project configurations
Prerequisites
Limitations
- →Requires unified rule files in .rulesync/
How it compares
Centralizes AI rule management instead of maintaining separate configs for each tool.

Save 40-70% on AI costs with intelligent multi-LLM routing. Automatically selects the optimal model based on task complexity across 40+ models from 8 providers.
self-improving-agent
alirezarezvani
Curate Claude Code's auto-memory into durable project knowledge. Analyze MEMORY.md for patterns, promote proven learnings to CLAUDE.md and .claude/rules/, extract recurring solutions into reusable skills. Use when: (1) reviewing what Claude has learned about your project, (2) graduating a pattern from notes to enforced rules, (3) turning a debugging solution into a skill, (4) checking memory health and capacity.
ccs-delegation
kaitranntt
Auto-activate CCS CLI delegation for deterministic tasks. Parses user input, auto-selects optimal profile (glm/kimi/custom) from ~/.ccs/config.json, enhances prompts with context, executes via `ccs {profile} -p "task"` or `ccs {profile}:continue`, and reports results. Triggers on "use ccs [task]" patterns, typo/test/refactor keywords. Excludes complex architecture, security-critical code, performance optimization, breaking changes.
