What is an AI coding context layer?

An AI coding context layer is the routing layer between a team's typed knowledge (memories, rules, and skills) and AI coding assistants. It indexes knowledge by repository path and delivers only the relevant slice at hook time.

How is Pathrule different from CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md?

Instruction files like CLAUDE.md load whole files into every session, ballooning token usage. Pathrule sits above these files, storing knowledge in a path-indexed graph and delivering only the matching subtree for the files being touched.

Does Pathrule read or store my source code?

No. Pathrule never reads, scans, or uploads source code files. It only stores and routes the typed memories, rules, and skills written by your team.

Which AI coding assistants are supported?

Pathrule supports tools including Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Windsurf, GitHub Copilot, Grok, Kimi, and OpenCode via MCP server and hook integrations.

Is there a free tier or local option?

Yes. Pathrule offers a free Solo plan for individual developers, as well as an open-source core (Apache-2.0) that runs fully offline on your local machine using an embedded SQLite store.

About Pathrule Studio

What the tool does and who it's for

Pathrule Studio is an AI coding context layer and path-indexed knowledge graph for engineering teams. Rather than relying on single, monolithic instruction files like CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md, Pathrule organizes team memories, rules, and skills by file and directory paths. When AI coding tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Windsurf, or GitHub Copilot begin a task, Pathrule delivers only the relevant context slice at hook time, preserving token budgets and keeping agents consistent across different developer environments.

Key capabilities

Path-Scoped Context Engine: Stores memories, rules, and skills in a graph mirroring your repository's structure.

Hook-Time Injection: Automatically injects relevant context at PreToolUse and UserPromptSubmit hooks before coding starts.

Multi-Agent Support: Works seamlessly across Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Windsurf, GitHub Copilot, and others.

Open Source Core: Includes an Apache-2.0 licensed local core engine running via an embedded SQLite store.

Built-in MCP Server: Exposes Model Context Protocol tools for seamless integration into compatible AI coding assistants.

Stale Context Detection: Automatically surfaces outdated rules and suggestions through built-in self-auditing.

Source Code Privacy: Never scans, reads, or uploads your actual codebase—only stores typed team knowledge.

Native Integrations: Offers macOS app, iOS app, CLI, and VS Code extension interfaces for managing team context.
