Rules

The anti-pattern rule engine, in one panel. List every rule, tune a rule's thresholds, test a candidate against live data before you keep it, or author a new declarative rule with no code file.

Where to find it

  • Localhost: /rules.html?repo=<id>
  • API: GET /api/rules, POST /api/rules/evaluate (the playground), POST /api/rules/custom (author a rule)
  • Keyboard: ⌘ K then rules
  • Sidebar: Level up → Rules

What it does for you

Tune a rule without editing code.Each built-in rule exposes its thresholds as parameters you set from the panel, so you adjust when a rule fires without touching a source file.
Test a candidate live before you keep it.The evaluate endpoint runs a rule (built-in or a draft you are authoring) against the current data and shows what it would flag, so you see the effect before you save it.
Author a declarative custom rule.Write a new rule in the authoring vocabulary and it persists as a declarative definition, no code file required.
