What does the Rules Capture skill do?

It monitors your conversation for instructions like 'always use this pattern' or 'stop doing that' and automatically creates a structured record of those preferences.

Can I edit the rules after they are captured?

Yes. Captured rules are initially placed in a pending state in CAPTURED-RULES.md where you can approve, modify, or delete them using the 'clean up rules' command.

Where are my captured rules stored?

Rules are stored locally within your project repository, typically in the .agents/SYSTEM/ directory in Markdown files like USER-PREFERENCES.md and RULES.md.

Does it save every single thing I say?

No, it only activates when it detects specific triggers, such as direct commands, style expressions, or frustration signals, and it always asks for confirmation before making a rule permanent.

Productivity & Workflow

Automatically tracks and persists your coding preferences, style guidelines, and project rules directly from your conversation history.

Rules Capture is a specialized Claude Code skill designed to eliminate repetitive instructions by automatically identifying when you express a preference, coding standard, or specific constraint. By parsing natural language cues—including direct commands, style preferences, and even frustration signals—it extracts structured metadata and organizes it into project-specific documentation. This ensures your AI assistant learns your unique workflow over time, providing a more personalized and consistent development experience across sessions without requiring manual configuration file updates.
