AI Factory Rules - Project Conventions

Add short, actionable rules and conventions for the current project. Rules are saved to the configured RULES.md artifact (default: .ai-factory/RULES.md) and automatically loaded by /aif-implement before task execution.

Rules Hierarchy

AI Factory supports a three-level rules hierarchy:

1. RULES.md - Axioms (universal project rules)

   • Managed by this skill (/aif-rules)
   • Short, flat list of hard requirements
   • Loaded by all skills

2. rules/base.md - Project-specific base conventions

   • Created by /aif during project setup
   • Naming conventions, module boundaries, error handling patterns
   • Auto-detected from codebase analysis
