AI Rules Copy Script

A cross-platform PowerShell script that converts your AI coding rules into assistant-specific formats. Write once, deploy everywhere.

🚀 Quick Start

# Download and run the script from the project root
curl -o copy-ai-rules.ps1 https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Kros-sk/copy-ai-rules/master/copy-ai-rules.ps1
pwsh ./copy-ai-rules.ps1

📁 Setup

Create this folder structure in your project:

your-project/
├── .ai-rules/
│   ├── api-rules.md
│   ├── domain-rules.md
│   ├── ai-rules-config.json
│   └── README.md              # ← Optional instructions for your team (ignored by script)
└── copy-ai-rules.ps1

✍️ Writing Rules

Create .md files in .ai-rules/ with this format:

---
description: API layer coding standards
globs: "**/Api/**/*.cs"
---

# API Rules

- Use async/await for all API endpoints
- Always validate input parameters
- Return consistent error responses

⚙️ Configuration

Control which assistants to generate for in .ai-rules/ai-rules-config.json:

{
  "assistants": ["cursor", "copilot", "junie"]
}

🤖 Supported AI Assistants

Assistant	Output Location	Format
Cursor	.cursor/rules/*.mdc	Individual files with YAML headers
GitHub Copilot	.github/instructions/*.instructions.md	Individual files with YAML headers
