• Which providers support global mode rules in rulesync?

  • AI Answer

    • Answer/Official from rulesync global-mode docs

    • Short answer

      • Yes. Rules work in global mode for many providers; commands only work for Claude Code. The flag is "global": true in rulesync.jsonc (or --global CLI).

    • Setup

      • 1. Create a dedicated directory (e.g. ~/.aiglobal)
        • bash

          mkdir -p ~/.aiglobal

      • 2. Initialize rulesync in it
        • bash

          cd ~/.aiglobal && rulesync init

      • 3. Edit ~/.aiglobal/rulesync.jsonc — in global mode only global, features, delete, and verbose are honoured; other keys are ignored. features accepts "rules" and "commands".
        • jsonc

          { "global": true }

      • 4. Edit ~/.aiglobal/.rulesync/rules/overview.md — only a single root: true file per target is supported in global mode.
        • md

          ---
          root: true
          ---
          
          # The Project Overview
          ...

      • 5. Generate
        • bash

          rulesync generate

    • Which providers support global rules (from source)

      • The authoritative list is toolRuleFactories in rules-processor.ts, each entry with meta.supportsGlobal.
      • supportsGlobal: true — amp, antigravity-cli, antigravity-ide, augmentcode, claudecode, claudecode-legacy, cline, codexcli, copilot, copilotcli, deepagents, factorydroid, geminicli, goose, junie, kilo, opencode, pi, qwencode, rovodev, takt, vibe, devin, zed (24 total)
      • supportsGlobal: false — agentsmd, antigravity, augmentcode-legacy, cursor, kiro, kiro-cli, kiro-ide, replit, roo, warp
      • The docs list only Claude Code, Copilot, and OpenCode — the source covers more. The filtered list is derived at runtime via rulesProcessorToolTargetsGlobal.

    • How global mode changes output paths

      • When global=true, getOutputRootsInLightOfGlobal() sets outputRoot to ~ (home directory). For Claude Code specifically, ClaudecodeRule.getSettablePaths({ global: true }) emits to ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md.

    • Commands: Claude Code only

      • Per docs and source, command generation in global mode is Claude Code only. The commands processor also has supportsGlobal per tool, but only claudecode maps to a real global commands path (~/.claude/commands/).
