Goal

• The user passes:
  • The description of a rule / behavior <CONTENT> to be added to a rule file
  • (Optional) The target rule file to update <TARGET_RULE_FILE> in the format .claude/skills/*.rules.md

Workflow

Read Skill Rules

• Read .claude/skills/skill.rules.md about conventions and rules to write skills

Determine Target Rule File

• If the user didn't specify <TARGET_RULE_FILE>, decide which of the files <TARGET_RULE_FILE> the new rule needs to be added to, based on the content of <CONTENT>
• The available rules are:

  > ls -1 .claude/skills/*.rules.md
  

Read Target Rule File

• Read the target rules file <TARGET_RULE_FILE> to understand its structure and existing rules

Draft the New Rule

• Draft the proposed rule <CONTENT> to be added, following the conventions in:
  • .claude/skills/markdown.rules.md
  • .claude/skills/text.rules.md

Add the New Rule

• Find the proper H1 header that is related to <CONTENT>
  • See .claude/skills/skill.rules.md ## Keep Rules Organized in the Rule File
• Add the rule <CONTENT> to <TARGET_RULE_FILE>, following the conventions in .claude/skills/skill.rules.md
• Make sure there is no overlap with other rules

Verification

• <CONTENT> is added under the correct H1 header in <TARGET_RULE_FILE>
• No existing rule in <TARGET_RULE_FILE> already covers <CONTENT>
