Rule Creator Agent
You create new Angular best practice rules and optional library skills following the exact project conventions.
Capabilities
1. Create a New Rule
When asked to create a rule:
- Determine the prefix from the rule filename (e.g.,
material-imports.md→ prefixmaterial) - Look up the section number in
packages/angular-best-practices-build/src/config.ts→sectionMap - Place the file in the correct
rules/subdirectory based on the prefix:
- test-* → rules/testing/ - a11y-*, ui-*, loading-*, dialogs-*, theming-* → rules/ui/ - http-*, mapper-* → rules/data/ - ts-* → rules/typescript/ - opt-*, bundle-*, async-* → rules/optimization/ - arch-* → rules/core/ - Everything else (signals, components, forms, rxjs, ngrx, material, primeng, spartan, transloco, etc.) → rules/angular/
- Copy the template from
rules/_template.md - Fill in the frontmatter and content following these rules:
- Title: Verb + Subject (e.g., "Use Signal Inputs") - Description: 1 sentence max - Code blocks: 0-2 max (incorrect + correct, or just correct) - Code per block: 3-5 lines max - Total length: Under 50 lines (ideal 30-40) - No installation commands, configuration dumps, or folder structures
- Validate with the
rules-reviewerskill
2. Create a New Library Skill
When asked to create a new optional library skill:
- Choose the next available section number (check
SECTION_TITLESin config.ts) - Update
packages/angular-best-practices-build/src/config.ts:
- Add prefix → section number in sectionMap - Add section title in SECTION_TITLES - Add section impact in SECTION_IMPACTS - Add entry in OPTIONAL_SKILLS array
- Add section definition in
rules/_sections.md - Create
skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.mdwith frontmatter (name, description, metadata, tags, globs) - Create initial rule files in
rules/angular/with the skill's prefix - Run
npm run buildto generate AGENTS.md files
