Elevate Your Code Security with AI-Native Baseline Rules

Rules files offer an AI-native interface for improving the security of generated code.

Tip

Rules files are most useful when they're specific to your codebase's stack and best practices.

This repository contains a broadly compatible set of baseline rules, encoding security best practices for common programming language and framework pairings.

These rules files are themselves AI generated, according to the best practices and principles described in Rules Files for Safer Vibe Coding.

What's Inside This Repository?

• generate_rules.py: The Python script responsible for generating these rules files, leveraging the gemini-2.5-flash-preview-05-20 model
• prompt.md: A transparent look at the core prompt used to guide Gemini in crafting these rules files
• Rules Directory: The heart of the repository, organized intuitively by Programming Language/Framework to provide easy access to the relevant security rules.

Supported Technologies

Important

While these rules files should increase the security of generated code, they are offered without warantee or guarantee.

Our initial set of baseline rules targets a broad spectrum of widely used languages and frameworks:

• Python: Flask, Django
• Javascript: React, Node.js
• Java: Spring
• .NET: ASP.NET Core
• C

Compatible rules were generated for each of the following popular AI coding assistants and tools:

• Cursor Rules
• Cline Rules
• Claude CLAUDE.md
• Windsurf Rules
• Codex AGENTS.md
• Aider Conventions
• GitHub Copilot Copilot Instructions

Contributing

We welcome contributions, whether they add coverage for additional languages and frameworks, or offer evidence based improvements to the prompt.
