rulepack

Pack the AI memory.

Structure your AI coding sessions' memory — rules, context, plans, operating know-how — as one rulepack.json plus Markdown files, then publish, version, and install it across every project and agent with one command.

npx rulepack add nextjs

That single command drops the right memory files into your project for every agent the pack declares — AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, .cursor/rules/*.mdc, .clinerules, .windsurfrules, GEMINI.md, .github/copilot-instructions.md, plus any custom project memories.

Why

AI coding agents can read your project, but their working context doesn't survive across sessions, machines, or teammates — and each agent wants its own file. rulepack treats that memory the way npm treats libraries: published, versioned, addressable by name, reinstallable everywhere. Read someone's workflow, then pull it into your repo.

Install

You don't need to — just npx rulepack .... For a global binary:

npm install -g rulepack
# or: pnpm add -g rulepack

Requires Node.js >=22.0.0.

Commands

rulepack add <pack>          # install a pack's memory files into the project
rulepack update [pack]       # update installed packs to newer versions
rulepack init                # generate rulepack.json interactively
rulepack link                # link existing Markdown files into memories
rulepack memory add          # add one standard or custom memory
rulepack publish             # publish the current pack (login required)
rulepack search <query>      # search packs on the registry
rulepack login               # authenticate via browser (or set RULEPACK_TOKEN)
rulepack logout
rulepack whoami

House packs vs community packs

Packs under the @rulepack scope install by bare name — npx rulepack add nextjs resolves to @rulepack/nextjs. Community packs use the full form: npx rulepack add @yourname/your-pack.

Authoring a pack

mkdir my-pack && cd my-pack
npx rulepack init
# ...edit AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md / .cursor/rules/*.mdc / custom memories...
npx rulepack login
npx rulepack publish

rulepack init does not require login — keep rulepack.json in a repo like package.json as a local manifest for AI memory, and sign in only when you publish. The manifest's memories map declares which files the pack ships (standard agent keys plus a free-form custom map), visibility sets the access policy (public / private / pay), and license is required. See the manifest reference for the full schema.

Configuration

The CLI reads ~/.rulepackrc (chmod 0600). Values can be overridden via environment variables:
