ai-rules is a governance framework designed to solve "Architectural Decay" in AI-driven development. It forces AI Agents (Cursor, Windsurf, Copilot) to respect your project's boundaries, UI libraries, and design patterns.
Unique: Implements declarative rule-based governance specifically designed for AI agents rather than traditional linters; rules are injected into agent prompts to shape behavior at generation time rather than only validating post-generation. Targets architectural decay prevention in AI-driven workflows, a gap not addressed by standard linting tools.
Unlike ESLint or Prettier which validate code after generation, ai-rules constrains AI agent behavior during generation by embedding rules in prompts, reducing rejected code and iteration cycles.
