What is the difference between a rule and a law in Claude Code?

Rules are modular, path-scoped conventions for specific directories, while laws are high-priority, project-wide instructions defined in CLAUDE.md.

How does the path-scoping feature work?

By using glob patterns like 'src/api/**/*.ts', you can ensure a rule is only injected into Claude's context when you are working on files within that specific path.

Why is there a 50-line limit for rules created with this skill?

Keeping rules under 50 lines ensures they remain token-efficient and prevents Claude's context from becoming overloaded with redundant information.

Can I use this skill for step-by-step procedures?

No, procedures and 'how-to' guides belong in Claude Code Skills. This tool is specifically designed for conventions and constraints.

Productivity & Workflow

Generates modular convention and guideline files for Claude Code to automate context injection and maintain project standards.

Rule Creator is a specialized skill for managing Agentic Context Engineering (ACE) within Claude Code projects. It enables developers to create lightweight, path-scoped rule files in the .claude/rules/ directory, ensuring that Claude follows specific coding conventions and project guidelines without cluttering global configurations. By utilizing modular rules instead of rigid laws, this skill provides a flexible way to inject relevant context precisely when needed, improving the accuracy and consistency of AI-generated code while optimizing token usage.
