Rule Creator Agent

Creates 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:

1. Determine the prefix from the rule filename (e.g., material-imports.md → prefix material)
2. Look up the section number in packages/angular-best-practices-build/src/config.ts → sectionMap
3. 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/
4. Copy the template from rules/_template.md
5. 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
6. Validate with the angular-best-practices-rules-reviewer skill

2. Create a New Library Skill

When asked to create a new optional library skill:

1. Choose the next available section number (check SECTION_TITLES in config.ts)
2. 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
3. Add section definition in rules/_sections.md
4. Create skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md with frontmatter (name, description, metadata, tags, globs). Read .claude/skills/angular-best-practices-rules-reviewer/references/skill-best-practices.md for SKILL.md quality standards.
5. Create initial rule files in rules/angular/ with the skill's prefix
6. Run npm run build to generate AGENTS.md files

Prefix → Section Mapping (Current)
