What it does

“Scaffold development rules for AI coding agents. Auto-invoked when user asks about setting up rules, coding conventions, or configuring their AI agent environment.”
The author's description, from SKILL.md

Generated summary from the skill's own text

This skill scaffolds development rules and coding conventions for AI agent environments. It copies rule files to a canonical location and creates symlinks for Claude and Cursor, or appends links to AGENTS.md if those directories don't exist. Use Bash commands via bun to preview changes before applying them.

When to use it

  • Setting up coding conventions for an AI agent project
  • Configuring development rules for Claude or Cursor environments
  • Standardizing guidelines across multiple AI coding agents
  • Adding shared project rules to a team workspace

When not to

  • Project doesn't use bun as package manager
  • Already have existing rule structures that conflict
  • Only need to document rules without scaffolding infrastructure

1. Download that folder at exactly this commit. Do not use the default branch.
2. Copy every file unchanged, keeping the folder structure, into .claude/skills/scaffold-rules/ for Claude Code and .agents/skills/scaffold-rules/ for Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode. Create the folders if they do not exist.
3. Do not edit the files, and do not run any script in the folder unless I ask you to.
4. When you are done, list the files you copied and where you put them.

# Scaffold Rules

Scaffold shared development rules for AI coding agent environments.

## When to Use

Use when the user wants to:
- Set up development rules or coding conventions
- Configure their AI coding agent environment
- Add project guidelines for Claude, Cursor, or other agents

## Workflow

### Step 1: Preview Changes (Optional)

```bash
bunx @plaited/development-skills scaffold-rules --dry-run
```

Review the `actions` array to see what will be created.

### Step 2: Run Scaffold

```bash
bunx @plaited/development-skills scaffold-rules
```

This will:
1. Copy rules to `.agents/rules/` (canonical location)
2. Create symlinks in `.claude/rules` and `.cursor/rules` (if those directories exist)
3. Fallback: append links to `AGENTS.md` if no agent directories found

### Step 3: Report to User

Tell the user what was created based on the `actions` output.

## CLI Options

| Flag | Description |
|------|-------------|
| `--list`, `-l` | List available rules without scaffolding |
| `--dry-run`, `-n` | Preview actions without making changes |

## How It Works

```
.agents/rules/          ← Canonical location (files copied here)
    ├── testing.md
    ├── bun.md
    └── ...

.claude/rules -> ../.agents/rules   ← Symlink (if .claude/ exists)
.cursor/rules -> ../.agents/rules   ← Symlink (if .cursor/ exists)
```

| Project has... | Copy | Symlinks | AGENTS.md |
|----------------|------|----------|-----------|
| `.agents/` only | ✓ | None | No |
| `.claude/` only | ✓ | `.claude/rules` | No |
| `.cursor/` only | ✓ | `.cursor/rules` | No |
| `.agents/` + `.claude/` | ✓ | `.claude/rules` | No |
| `.agents/` + `.cursor/` | ✓ | `.cursor/rules` | No |
| `.agents/` + `.claude/` + `.cursor/` | ✓ | Both | No |
| None of the above | ✓ | None | ✓ Append links |
