Rules

Rules are path-specific instructions that apply to certain files or directories.

Location

.ai/rules/*.md

Format

Rules require YAML frontmatter with a paths array:

paths:
  - "src/components/**/*.tsx"

# Component Guidelines

- Use functional components with hooks
- Export a default component
- Include TypeScript interfaces

  paths: string[]  // Required, minimum 1 path
