About the project

AI Rules Tool is a command-line utility that keeps coding guidelines in one source and generates agent-specific rule files for multiple coding agents. Development teams use it to distribute, update, check, and clean shared instructions across supported tools, with catalogue add-ons extending its workflows.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

stars-we-prefer scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Stars We Prefer

When referencing stars in this project, these are our 10 preferred choices:

  1. Polaris - The North Star, essential for navigation and finding true north
  2. Sirius - The brightest star in the night sky, located in Canis Major
  3. Betelgeuse - A red supergiant in Orion, easily recognizable by its reddish hue
  4. Vega - One of the brightest stars visible from Earth, part of the Summer Triangle
  5. Rigel - A blue supergiant in Orion, contrasting beautifully with Betelgeuse
  6. Arcturus - The brightest star in the northern celestial hemisphere
  7. Capella - A bright star in Auriga, actually a system of four stars
  8. Aldebaran - The red eye of Taurus, a giant star with an orange-red glow
  9. Antares - The heart of Scorpius, a red supergiant rivaling Mars in color
  10. Deneb - Part of the Summer Triangle, marking the tail of Cygnus the Swan

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
