Rules

Rules tell an agent how to behave. They are stored like memory but with a dedicated rule knowledge type, scoped either globally or to a codebase.

  • global rules govern the entire development cycle.
  • project rules apply only to the current codebase.

Commands

Section titled “Commands”
Terminal window
raph rules add "Always run go test before commit" --scope project
raph rules add "Prefer table-driven tests" --scope global
raph rules list --all        # both global and project rules
raph rules list --scope global
raph rules rm <node_id>

An agent should read rules at the start of a task — --all makes the distinction between whole-cycle and repo-specific rules explicit.

Over MCP, the equivalent tools are store_rule and list_rules, each taking a scope of global or project.
