Ruler is a CLI tool that centralizes AI coding assistant instructions in a single .ruler/ directory and automatically distributes them to the config files of supported agents like Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot, Aider, and Windsurf. It also propagates MCP server settings and automates .gitignore handling for generated configs.
Use cases
- keep AI coding agent instructions in sync across tools
- stop duplicating rules for Cursor, Copilot, and Claude Code
- manage MCP server settings for multiple AI assistants
- set up per-directory AI rules in a monorepo
- onboard a new AI coding tool with existing project rules
- keep generated agent config files out of git
When to choose
- you use multiple AI coding assistants and want one source of truth for instructions
- your team struggles with inconsistent or drifting agent guidance
- you want automated distribution of rules and MCP settings across agent configs
When to avoid
- you use only one AI coding assistant and its native config is sufficient
- you need a fully stable, non-beta tool for critical workflows
- you need an agent framework or runtime rather than config management
