AI Rules Manager – Package manager for AI coding assistant rules
I built ARM (AI Rules Manager) to solve a problem that's been bugging me: managing AI rules across projects is broken. If you use Cursor, GitHub Copilot, or Amazon Q, you know how powerful custom rules can be for guiding AI behavior. But right now, everyone just copies `.cursorrules` files around manually. Once copied, they're orphaned – no updates, no version control, no way to know if changes will break your AI's behavior. ARM treats AI rules like npm packages. You can: - Install versioned rulesets: arm install awesome-cursorrules/python - Connect to Git registries like…
AI Rules Manager – Package manager for AI coding assistant rules launched on September 10, 2025 with 13 votes, #826 of 8,160 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 1 year on.
In plain words
AI Rules Manager is a package manager for AI coding assistant rules that works with Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and Amazon Q. Instead of manually copying and maintaining `.cursorrules` files across projects, it treats AI rules as versioned dependencies that can be installed, updated, and synced like npm packages. Users can install rulesets from Git registries, keep rules synchronized across projects with semantic versioning, and target multiple AI tools with different configurations. The tool solves the problem of orphaned rule files by enabling centralized management and automatic updates.

StraionFeb 2026 · straion.com · ▲376Hi HN — we’re building Straion (founders are ex‑Netlify, ex‑Elastic, ex‑Dynatrace). Core idea: static AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md files are useful, but they often become too broad for real tasks. Instead of injecting all guidance every time, Straion selects the relevant rules per task and keeps context narrow. How it works today: 1. You define org/team/project rules centrally 2. A CLI skill calls our pipeline during agent workflows 3. Straion returns only the rules relevant to the current task 4. The agent gets focused context instead of a giant rules dump This reduces context bloat…
- CACursor AI Rules Directory (Open Source)2024 · cursor.directory · ▲51
While Cursor has already revolutionized coding, you can still configure it to perform even better based on your language and framework. That's why we created Cursor Directory, a collection of the best cursor rules for your framework and language from the community. It's fully open source and you can contribute to it by submitting your own rules. Just copy and add a .cursorrules file to your project root! Let me know what you think!
SkillkitFeb 2026 · agenstskills.com · ▲252It's an open-source project that lets you create, translate, and work with multiple agents at the same time, and more.
Git for AI AgentsMay 2026 · github.com · ▲129hi guys. been working on something i think is fundamentally missing in today's workflow with ai agents. vcs. i find myself struggling with questions that agents can't answer like "why did you do it?", "when did u delete this folder? why?", etc. or trying to /rewind (after a /compact...) or basically `bisect` to find when and why something was done by the agent in the current / previous session. just like git did for code, i think we are the same core capabilities with ai agents so... i developed an open source solution for that (currently supporting claude code) would love to…

I made a built-from scratch Wayland Compositor to display any GUI app* in the terminal! I think there is a lot of unexplored potential in custom Wayland compositors, a lot of really cool things you can embed existing applications into! So, I started with embedding apps into the terminal because that is the easiest input/output (output is just utf-8 and I use the great `chafa` library for that, and I just read from stdin for the input). If you have any other ideas for cool Wayland compositors, let me know. I purposedly wrote 80% the app in Typescript to appeal to the most developers and…

Years ago I stumbled across a basic version of this concept and it stuck with me. I knew if I was ever going to take on such a project, it would need to be flawless, but without coding experience it was just another idea that would never happen. By the end of 2024, as AI coding tools exploded everywhere, I finally had a way to make it real. I started from zero knowledge and spent months collaborating with AI agents as a learning experience. Every pixel and every function went through me. The AI translated what I asked for into code, but every decision was human. I didn't use existing OS…
