Awesome AI Rules

The definitive collection of AI coding rules for every tool and stack

Production-ready AI coding rules for 8 tools across 9 stacks, ready to copy into your project in seconds.

Why This Exists

AI coding output quality depends heavily on instruction quality. Most teams still rewrite the same rules for every new project and tool. This repository standardizes that process with stack-specific rule sets. Each file is practical, opinionated, and designed for real production workflows. Use it to reduce prompt drift, improve consistency, and onboard faster. Copy what fits, customize what matters, and ship with higher confidence.
