Writing a project's rules, the instructions that apply only when they are relevant, under `.agents/rules/`. Covers deciding whether something is a rule, `AGENTS.md` or a Skill, choosing the trigger, writing patterns in the supported glob dialect, wording a rule as a convention, deciding when a rule belongs in a shared plugin and moving it there, and proving it with `uze agent rules check`. Use when asked to create, add or write a rule, when an instruction "only applies to src/…" or to one kind…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# UZE: a project's rules, written once

A rule is a Markdown file directly under `.agents/rules/` in the checkout,
versioned with the project. Its frontmatter says when it applies:

```markdown
---
trigger: glob
globs: "**/src/ui/**/*.rs"
---

Colours come from the theme: name a `Token`, never an RGB value.
```

Antigravity reads `.agents/rules/` itself. Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode
receive the same files through the rules engine `uze setup` installs. Every
harness reads the one directory and the one format, so a rule is written
once.

A subfolder of `.agents/rules/` is read only once `.agents/rules.json`
registers it, the way Antigravity reads it and so UZE and the engine too:

```json
{"entries": [{"path": ".agents/rules/team"}]}
```

`path` is relative to the checkout root, not to the manifest. A folder
entry reads the `*.md` directly in it, a file entry that one file;
`include_only` and `exclude` list paths relative to the entry. A manifest
that does not parse registers nothing, and `inherits` reaches Antigravity
alone. Keep the project's own rules flat unless a folder genuinely helps,
and never add or edit an entry naming a plugin's folder: those are UZE's.
…
