With Augment Rules, your software agent can build just like your team does.

Every project, team, and workflow is unique. Augment Rules empower you to specify exactly how your agent should behave. Simply add instruction files to .augment/rules/ and your agent will adapt.

Get started in seconds: 🧠 Smart Rule Selection: Agent Requested mode finds what’s relevant for each task 🚀 Seamless Migration: Import rules from other tools, or use your existing Augment guidelines 🧩 Flexible Organization: Use any file name or structure to match your workflow

Three flexible ways to use Rules: 1️⃣ Always: Attach rules to every query automatically 2️⃣ Manual: Select rules per query as needed 3️⃣ Auto: Describe your task—the agent intelligently selects the most relevant rules

Already using .augment-guidelines.md? No changes required—your setup remains supported. But Augment Rules offers even greater flexibility and control.
