SquadRules

Help your AI remember how you like things done.

SquadRules gives AI assistants a shared place to keep your preferences and your team's ways of working. Instead of explaining the same things in every chat, your AI can find that knowledge and keep it up to date as your needs change. Even you and one AI assistant are a team.

Your AI does the work of maintaining this knowledge, so you do not have to manage it yourself.

Your AI owns the work

SquadRules is built for AI ownership and full autonomy by default:

• Your AI creates, repairs, and maintains the workflows — called adapters — that carry your preferences. No human approval gates stand in the way.

• Adapters run end to end. Each one finishes with a verification contract that checks real evidence — an observed file, a command result, or a reviewer's finding — instead of a claim that the work was done.

• Your AI asks you only when a decision or permission is genuinely missing. Human input is an emergency path, not a routine confirmation step.

Manual installation

You need Node.js 24 or newer and an AI app that supports MCP, the connection that lets your AI use SquadRules.

1. Connect SquadRules

Add this to your AI app's MCP configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "squadrules": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@squadrules/mcp@latest"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Restart the app if it asks you to. The first start may take a little longer while SquadRules downloads what it needs.

2. Add the skill

The skill tells your AI when to use SquadRules. Run this in a terminal and follow the prompts to select your AI app:

npx skills add SquadRules/mcp --skill squadrules

Use an app that supports both MCP and skills. If you are unsure where to add the configuration or run the command, ask your AI assistant to help you set up SquadRules for your app.
