Rules

Rules are persistent instructions that shape how the AI behaves across every conversation.

What are rules?

Rules are plain-text instructions automatically included in the AI's context. Use them to set coding standards, preferred libraries, commit message formats, or anything else UltraCoder should always follow.

What are project rules?

Project rules live in a .ultracoder/rules/ folder in your repository. They apply only when that project is open and are shared with your team via source control.

What are global rules?

Global rules apply to every project. Set them in Settings → Rules → Global. Use them for personal preferences: your name, preferred response style, or language.
