Adds a project rules system for loading instruction files into the
system prompt, plus auto-import from other AI coding frameworks.
- `.claw/rules/*.md` / `.claw/rules/*.txt` / `.claw/rules/*.mdc`
- `.claw/rules.local/*.md` — personal/local rules (gitignored)
- Existing: `CLAUDE.md`, `CLAUDE.local.md`, `.claw/CLAUDE.md`,
`.claw/instructions.md`
When users switch to claw-code from another tool, their existing
rules are automatically detected and loaded:
- Cursor: `.cursorrules`, `.cursor/rules/`
- GitHub Copilot: `.github/copilot-instructions.md`
- Windsurf: `.windsurfrules`, `.windsurfrules/`
- Aider: `.aider.conf.yml` instructions block
- Pi (Plandex): `.plandex/instructions.md`, `.plandex/plan.md`
- OpenCode: `opencode.json` instructions field
- Crush: `.crush/CLAUDE.md`, `.crush/rules/`
`rulesImport` in settings.json controls framework auto-import:
- `"auto"` (default) — import from all detected frameworks
- `"none"` — only load .claw/rules/ and CLAUDE.md files
- `["cursor", "copilot"]` — import only from listed frameworks
```json
{
"rulesImport": "auto"
}
```
