What this skill does
Creating Claude Rules Overview Rules in .claude/rules/ are modular instructions scoped to specific files via glob patterns. They load automatically with same priority as CLAUDE.md. When to Use Creating new rules in .claude/rules/ Fixing rules that use wrong frontmatter (globs instead of paths) Migrating Cursor rules to Claude format Organizing project-specific conventions Quick Reference Field Claude Cursor ------------- -------------- ------------------- Path patterns paths globs Always apply Omit paths alwaysApply: true Description Not documented description Frontmatter Path-Scoped Rules Or single pattern: Global Rules Omit frontmatter entirely - applies to all files: Common Mistakes Directory Structure Files discovered recursively. Use subdirectories to organize. Glob Patterns Pattern Matches ------------------- ---------------------- /.ts All .ts files anywhere src// Everything under src/ .md Markdown in root only /.{ts,tsx} .ts and .tsx files {src,lib}//.ts .ts in src/ or lib/ Reference https://code.claude.com/docs/en/memory#modular-rules-with-claude/rules/
