Show HN: Rulebook AI – rules and memory manager for AI coding IDEs

Summary

Universal Rules Template for AI Coding Assistants Bugs or ideas → open an Issue in the repo in the repo Anonymous feedback: Go to the Google Form Supercharge Your AI Coding Workflow Across Cursor, CLINE, RooCode, Windsurf, and Github Copilot Tired of inconsistent AI behavior across different coding assistants? Struggling to maintain context and enforce best practices on complex projects? This template provides a robust, cross-platform framework designed to elevate your AI pair-programming experience. Leveraging established software engineering principles and a structured documentation system, this template ensures your AI assistants (like Cursor, CLINE, RooCode, Windsurf, and Github Copilot) operate consistently, understand your project deeply, and follow optimal workflows. Move beyond simple prototypes and build sophisticated applications with AI partners that truly understand your project's architecture, requirements, and history. Why Use This Template? Consistent AI Behavior: Define clear workflows (Plan, Implement, Debug) and principles for your AI, ensuring predictable and high-quality output regardless of the platform used. Define clear workflows (Plan, Implement, Debug) and principles for your AI, ensuring predictable and high-quality output regardless of the platform used. Persistent Project Memory: Implement a structured documentation system ( docs/ , tasks/ ) that acts as a shared "memory bank," providing deep context to the AI about requirements, architecture, technical decisions, and progress.
