CodeRules Intelligent Code Standards Assistant

Problem It Addresses

When large language models generate code directly, the output often ignores the existing stack, mixes logging and error-handling patterns, or hard-codes secrets. CodeRules turns code standards into pre-generation constraints instead of post-hoc review. It identifies the project stack, loads matching language and framework rules, and keeps generated code closer to project conventions.

How It Works

• Project analysis: reads dependencies and devDependencies from package.json, checks tsconfig.json, next.config.js, vue.config.js, go.mod, and requirements.txt, and profiles source file extensions such as .ts, .py, .go, and .vue; scripts/analyzer.js can automate this step.
• Rule loading: loads language rules from rules/languages/, framework rules from rules/frameworks/, and detection rules from rules/index.json, then merges them by priority: user custom > custom rules > framework > language > default.
• Constrained generation: before generating, lists files to create or modify, cites at least three key rules, generates code, and self-checks which rules were followed.
• General constraints: covers async error handling, unified logging, environment variables for secrets, input validation, parameterized queries, route-level lazy loading, caching strategy, unit-test naming, and coverage targets.

Boundaries

It fits projects with a stable stack and clear style requirements. If conventions change frequently, maintain .coderules.json and rules/index.json; otherwise the default rules may drift from team expectations.
