ai-rulez v5 serves repo skills and scoped context to coding agents on demand over MCP
Goldziher · reddit · 2026-11-16
Developer Goldziher released ai-rulez v5, a CLI and MCP server for managing instructions, skills, and settings that coding agents use in a repository (installable via Homebrew, Scoop, npm, PyPI, Go).
- Generates native agent configs from shared rules and skills
- Validates sources, pins dependencies, packages plugins
- Serves skills and directory-scoped context over MCP
Run ai-rulez mcp --serve-skills --discover-skills --read-only from the repo root; clients call findskill then loadskill, receiving the skill, its digest, and an index of additional files under a session byte budget. Setting delivery: served keeps a skill out of generated static skill directories.
