About the project

Rulesync is a command-line tool that generates configuration for different AI development tools from a shared set of rules. Developers use it to keep instructions, commands, MCP settings, ignore files, subagents, and skills consistent across coding agents. Catalogue skills support workflows built around Rulesync.

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

draft-release 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 2d 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

First, let's work on the following steps.

  1. Confirm that you are currently on the main branch and pull the latest changes. If not on main branch, switch to main branch.
  2. Compare code changes between the previous version tag and the latest commit to prepare the release description.
  • Write in English.
  • Do not include confidential information.
  • Sections, What's Changed, Contributors and Full Changelog are needed.
  • ./tmp/release-notes/*.md will be used as the release notes.

Then, from $ARGUMENTS, get the new version without v prefix, and assign it to $new_version. For example, if $ARGUMENTS is "v1.0.0", the new version is "1.0.0".

If $ARGUMENTS is empty, determine the new version automatically by performing the release-dry-run skill.

Let's resume the release process.

  1. Run git pull.
  2. Run git checkout -b release/v${new_version}.
  3. Update getVersion() function to return the ${new_version} in src/cli/program.ts, and run pnpm cicheck. If the checks fail, fix the code until pass. Then, execute git add, git commit and git push.
  4. Update the version with pnpm version ${new_version} --no-git-tag-version.
  5. Since package.json will be modified, execute git commit and git push.
  6. As a precaution, verify that getVersion() in src/cli/program.ts is updated to the ${new_version}.
  7. Run gh pr create to the main branch.
  8. Create a draft release using gh release create v${new_version} --draft --title v${new_version} --notes-file ./tmp/release-notes/*.md command on the github.com/dyoshikawa/rulesync repository. This creates a draft release so that the publish-assets workflow can upload assets later.

Note: the Homebrew tap formula (Formula/rulesync.rb) is NOT updated here. It embeds sha256 checksums of the release binaries, which only exist after the release PR merges and the Publish Assets workflow uploads them. The goal-release skill performs that update as its post-merge step (regenerate with scripts/generate-homebrew-formula.ts from the release's SHA256SUMS and land it via an immediately merged PR). When releasing manually without the goal-release skill, run that step yourself after the assets are published.

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.
