Rules

CodeFlicker offers two ways to customize AI behavior: Personal Rules and Project Rules.

Personal Rules

Description

Personal Rules are customized settings that reflect your individual usage habits and preferences. They help align AI outputs with your specific requirements across all conversations and projects. Configure these rules in CodeFlicker Settings > Rules > Personal Rules. Use this feature when you want consistent behavior across all your projects, such as preferred output language, response length, or formatting style.

Example Configuration

- Language Style: Answer my questions with concise language.
- Operating System: Provide answers for macOS operating system.
- Content Depth: Include examples in your responses.
- Interaction Style: Output your answer directly without showing intermediate thinking processes.

Limitations

1. Personal rules are limited to 5000 characters maximum; excess content will be automatically truncated.
2. Only one personal rules file is supported, named user_rules.mdr, located in the .codeflicker folder under your local user root directory.
3. Please use natural language descriptions; images, links, and other media formats are not supported.

Project Rules

Description

Project Rules are specific to your workspace projects. When you create project rules, the corresponding files are stored in the .codeflicker/rules directory under your workspace root, with the .mdr extension.

Project Rules support two configuration modes, controlled by the "alwaysApply" parameter:

• Manual Reference: Rules that only take effect when explicitly added in #Knowledge-Rules. Set alwaysApply: false in the rule file for this behavior.

Reference Rules

• Auto Attach: Rules that automatically apply to every conversation during your sessions. Set alwaysApply: true in the rule file for this behavior.

Example Configuration

---
alwaysApply: false
notes: |
  If you want this rule to be triggered in every conversation, change "false" to "true" in "alwaysApply: false" above. 
  If you don't want this rule to be included in version control, add this file to .gitignore.
