How to build it
- Keep rules in the repository in one file per scope.
- Promote any rule that a pattern can match into a lint rule.
- Leave the rest to a reviewer prompt that quotes the rule it applies.
Signals in a repository
- AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, .cursor/rules or CONTRIBUTING.md with coding rules.
