Rules Blocks
Rules allow you to provide specific instructions that guide how the AI assistant behaves when working with your code. Instead of the AI making assumptions about your coding standards, architecture patterns, or project-specific requirements, you can explicitly define guidelines that ensure consistent, contextually appropriate responses.
Think of these as the guardrails for your AI coding assistants:
- Enforce company-specific coding standards and security practices
- Implement quality checks that match your engineering culture
- Create paved paths for developers to follow organizational best practices
How Rules Work
Your assistant detects rule blocks and applies the specified rules while in Agent, Chat, and Edit modes.Learn More
