Monorepo & Custom Directories

Custom Target Directories

Use -d to specify where symlinks should be created:

# Add to custom directory
ais cursor add my-rule -d docs/ai/rules

Monorepo Usage

In a monorepo, you can sync different rules to different packages:

ais cursor add react-rules frontend-rules -d packages/frontend/.cursor/rules
ais cursor add node-rules backend-rules -d packages/backend/.cursor/rules

WARNING

Adding the same rule to multiple locations requires aliases:

ais cursor add auth-rules -d packages/frontend/.cursor/rules
ais cursor add auth-rules backend-auth -d packages/backend/.cursor/rules

Custom Source Directories

Override where AIS looks for rules in a repository.
