Ai Rule Learning — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited Ai Rule Learning (MCP Server) and scored it 65/100 (yellow). The audit ran 55 deterministic rules across Security, Supply Chain, Maintenance, Transparency, and Community; it found 9 high-severity and 1 lower-severity findings. The full rule-by-rule trace and per-finding evidence are below. Free, methodology-open.

The text {match} is the classic direct prompt-injection phrasing. Placed in a skill body that the agent reads as trusted instructions, it tries to make the agent abandon its prior rules and follow whatever comes next — a full system-prompt override.
ignore/disregard/forget … previous instructions sentence.A fenced bash/python block in SKILL.md carries a natural-language imperative — "now run this", "execute the following command" — directing the agent to execute the fenced content. What looks like documentation becomes an executable payload the agent may run without ever asking you.

That is often the first step of a larger attack: knowing the system prompt lets an attacker craft inputs that defeat its constraints by mimicking its own voice.

AI Rule Learning MCP is a local MCP server and CLI for turning repeated AI-session feedback into persistent guardrails, memory, and reusable skills that can be injected into supported AI-agent configuration files.
This README describes what is implemented in this repository today. Earlier decision-rule mining examples have been removed because those public classes are not part of the current package API.
| Capability | Status | Implemented as |
|---|---|---|
| MCP server | Real | ai-rule-learning-mcp entry point |
| CLI | Real | ai-rule-learning entry point |
| Guardrail rules | Real | Local JSONL storage plus injected markdown blocks |
| Memory | Real | Local JSONL storage plus injected markdown blocks |
| Skills | Real | Local markdown skill files plus injected skill index |
| Agent config injection | Real | Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and GitHub Copilot targets |
| Auto-sync scheduler | Real | LaunchAgent, systemd user timer, or cron fallback |
| Decision-rule mining API | Not current API | The current package exposes MCP tools and CLI commands instead. |

ai-rule-learning metrics disableThese commands are implemented by the ai-rule-learning console script.
Usage metrics are disabled by default. If you opt in, the CLI records only anonymous aggregate labels such as command/tool names, success/failure counts, package version, Python version bucket, and OS family. It never records prompts, rule text, memory content, file paths, usernames, repo names, hostnames, or agent config content. Run ai-rule-learning metrics preview before enabling sharing to inspect the exact aggregate payload.
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
get_guardrail_rules | Returns active guardrail rules as a formatted text block. |
record_feedback | Generates a rule from session feedback such as corrections or repeated context. |
sync_sessions | Parses supported local session files, detects patterns, and refreshes injected rules. |
remember | Stores a preference, project detail, hard constraint, user fact, or context item. |
recall | Reads stored memory entries. |
save_skill | Saves a reusable workflow. |
list_skills | Lists saved workflows. |
get_skill | Retrieves a saved workflow by name or keyword. |
install_scheduler | Installs, uninstalls, or checks the nightly sync scheduler. |
list_providers | Shows detected session sources and agent config targets. |
list_rules | Lists stored rules by lifecycle status. |
approve_rule | Approves and activates a reviewed rule. |
reject_rule | Rejects a rule so it is not injected. |
edit_rule | Updates a rule instruction. |
merge_rules | Marks a duplicate rule as merged into a primary rule. |
record_rule_outcome | Tracks whether a rule worked or failed. |
review_rule_health | Finds stale or low-effectiveness rules and can mark them for review. |
suggest_duplicate_rules | Suggests likely duplicate rules for explicit review and merge. |
analyze | Reports health, failure modes, injection checks, and rule-effectiveness data. |
Rules, memory, and skills are injected as fenced markdown blocks using HTML comment markers into every detected supported AI-agent config.
| Agent | Config file |
|---|---|
| Claude Code | ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md |
| Cursor | ~/.cursor/rules/ai-guardrails.md |
| Windsurf | ~/.windsurf/rules/ai-guardrails.md |
| GitHub Copilot | ~/.config/github-copilot/instructions.md |
