Scaffold Rules

Scaffold Rules

Scaffold shared development rules for AI coding agent environments.

When to Use

Use when the user wants to:

• Set up development rules or coding conventions
• Configure their AI coding agent environment
• Add project guidelines for Claude, Cursor, or other agents

Workflow

Step 1: Preview Changes (Optional)

bunx @plaited/development-skills scaffold-rules --dry-run

Review the actions array to see what will be created.

Step 2: Run Scaffold

bunx @plaited/development-skills scaffold-rules

This will:

1. Copy rules to .agents/rules/ (canonical location)
2. Create symlinks in .claude/rules and .cursor/rules (if those directories exist)
3. Fallback: append links to AGENTS.md if no agent directories found

Step 3: Report to User

Tell the user what was created based on the actions output.

CLI Options

How It Works

.agents/rules/          ← Canonical location (files copied here)
    ├── testing.md
    ├── bun.md
    └── ...

.claude/rules -> ../.agents/rules   ← Symlink (if .claude/ exists)
.cursor/rules -> ../.agents/rules   ← Symlink (if .cursor/ exists)
