creating-claude-rules is a skill for Claude Code from gabrielmoreira/agent-skills-mirror. It costs 41 tokens per session (618 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of creating-claude-rules, MIT.

A guide for creating and repairing Claude Code rule files in `.claude/rules/`. These files contain instructions that apply to selected project files or to the whole project.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create path-scoped or global coding rules, fix their front matter, and organize project-specific instructions for Claude Code.
Why use it?
It prevents configuration mistakes when converting rules from Cursor or writing new ones, especially using Claude's `paths` format instead of Cursor's `globs` and `alwaysApply` fields.

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

creating-claude-rules 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 7d 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.

Origin

Creating Claude Rules

Overview

Rules in .claude/rules/ are modular instructions scoped to specific files via glob patterns. They load automatically with same priority as CLAUDE.md.

When to Use

  • Creating new rules in .claude/rules/
  • Fixing rules that use wrong frontmatter (globs instead of paths)
  • Migrating Cursor rules to Claude format
  • Organizing project-specific conventions

Quick Reference

Field Claude Cursor
Path patterns paths globs
Always apply Omit paths alwaysApply: true
Description Not documented description

Frontmatter

Path-Scoped Rules

---
paths:
  - 'src/api/**/*.ts'
  - 'tests/**/*.test.ts'
---

Or single pattern:

---
paths: src/**/*.{ts,tsx}
---

Global Rules

Omit frontmatter entirely - applies to all files:

# TypeScript Conventions

Use .js extensions in imports.

Common Mistakes

# ❌ WRONG - globs is Cursor format
---
globs:
  - '**/*.ts'
---
# ✅ CORRECT - Claude uses paths
---
paths:
  - '**/*.ts'
---
# ❌ WRONG - alwaysApply is Cursor-only
---
alwaysApply: true
---
# ✅ CORRECT - just omit paths for global rules
# (no frontmatter needed)
# ❌ WRONG - unquoted patterns
---
paths:
  - **/*.ts
---

# ✅ CORRECT - quote glob patterns
---
paths:
  - "**/*.ts"
---

Directory Structure

├── testing.md          # Path-scoped or global
├── typescript.md
└── frontend/           # Subdirectories supported

Files discovered recursively. Use subdirectories to organize.

Glob Patterns

Pattern Matches
**/*.ts All .ts files anywhere
src/**/* Everything under src/
*.md Markdown in root only
**/*.{ts,tsx} .ts and .tsx files
{src,lib}/**/*.ts .ts in src/ or lib/

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.
