1	# Creating Claude Rules
2
3	## Overview
4
5	Rules in `.claude/rules/` are modular instructions scoped to specific files via glob patterns. They load automatically with same priority as `CLAUDE.md`.
6
7	## When to Use
8
9	- Creating new rules in `.claude/rules/`
10	- Fixing rules that use wrong frontmatter (`globs` instead of `paths`)
11	- Migrating Cursor rules to Claude format
12	- Organizing project-specific conventions
13
14	## Quick Reference
15
16	\| Field \| Claude \| Cursor \|
17	\| ------------- \| -------------- \| ------------------- \|
18	\| Path patterns \| `paths` \| `globs` \|
19	\| Always apply \| Omit `paths` \| `alwaysApply: true` \|
20	\| Description \| Not documented \| `description` \|
21
22	## Frontmatter
23
24	### Path-Scoped Rules
25
26	```yaml
27	---
28	paths:
29	- 'src/api/*/.ts'
30	- 'tests/*/.test.ts'
31	---
32	```
33
34	Or single pattern:
35
36	```yaml
37	---
38	paths: src/*/.{ts,tsx}
39	---
40	```
41
42	### Global Rules
43
44	Omit frontmatter entirely - applies to all files:
45
46	```markdown
47	# TypeScript Conventions
48
49	Use .js extensions in imports.
50	```
51
52	## Common Mistakes
53
54	```yaml
55	# ❌ WRONG - globs is Cursor format
56	---
57	globs:
58	- '*/.ts'
59	---
60	# ✅ CORRECT - Claude uses paths
61	---
62	paths:
63	- '*/.ts'
64	---
65	```
66
67	```yaml
68	# ❌ WRONG - alwaysApply is Cursor-only
69	---
70	alwaysApply: true
71	---
72	# ✅ CORRECT - just omit paths for global rules
73	# (no frontmatter needed)
74	```
75
76	```yaml
77	# ❌ WRONG - unquoted patterns
78	---
79	paths:
80	- */.ts
81	---
82
83	# ✅ CORRECT - quote glob patterns
84	---
85	paths:
86	- "*/.ts"
87	---
88	```
89
90	## Directory Structure
91
92	```
93	.claude/rules/
94	├── testing.md # Path-scoped or global
95	├── typescript.md
96	└── frontend/ # Subdirectories supported
97	└── react.md
98	```
99
100	Files discovered recursively. Use subdirectories to organize.
101
102	## Glob Patterns
103
104	\| Pattern \| Matches \|
105	\| ------------------- \| ---------------------- \|
106	\| `*/.ts` \| All .ts files anywhere \|
107	\| `src/*/` \| Everything under src/ \|
108	\| `*.md` \| Markdown in root only \|
109	\| `*/.{ts,tsx}` \| .ts and .tsx files \|
110	\| `{src,lib}/*/.ts` \| .ts in src/ or lib/ \|
