Rules

Create reusable guidelines that help Warp’s agents respond with your preferred coding standards, project conventions, and personal preferences.

Warp’s Rules feature lets you create and manage reusable guidelines that inform how agents respond to your prompts. These rules help tailor responses based on your coding standards, project conventions, or personal preferences.

Warp can also suggest rules based on your usage patterns to make future agent interactions smarter and more consistent.

What Rules Can Include

• Coding standards and best practices

• Project or workspace-specific guidelines

• Personal preferences or tool configurations

How to access Rules

• From Warp Drive: Personal > Rules

• From the Command Palette: search for "Open AI Rules"

• From the Settings panel: Settings > AI > Knowledge > Manage Rules

• From the macOS Menu: AI > Open Rules

Managing Rules

In the Rules pane, users can add, edit, delete any number of rules. Each rule includes a name (optional) and description.

Rules as Agent context
