Define rules once.
Compile them everywhere.

A local-first CLI to manage AI coding rules across editors.
No accounts. No cloud. Your rules live with your code.

Change a rule, recompile. Every editor stays in sync.
The problem
Every AI tool wants its own rule file.

Claude Code reads CLAUDE.md. Cursor reads .cursor/rules. Gemini reads GEMINI.md. Same rules, three files — they always end up out of sync.
