Rules

Rules are contexts that are passed to the LLM during a prompt and are useful to tune prompts or LLM responses. Rules are text files (typically .md, but any format works):

There are 3 possible ways to configure rules following this order of priority:

Project fileGlobal fileConfig

A .eca/rules folder from the workspace root containing .md files with the rules.

.eca/rules/talk_funny.md

- Talk funny like Mickey!

A $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/eca/rules or ~/.config/eca/rules folder containing .md files with the rules.

~/.config/eca/rules/talk_funny.md

- Talk funny like Mickey!

Just add toyour config the :rules pointing to .md files that will be searched from the workspace root if not an absolute path:

~/.config/eca/config.json

{
  "rules": [{"path": "my-rule.md"}]
}
