Purpose
This tool provides a collection of predefined rules, instructions, and security best practices designed to be loaded into agentic coding environments like Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and Claude CLI. It runs as an interactive CLI that generates customized configuration files for your preferred AI tools.

Security Assessment
The overall risk is Low. The automated code scan checked 12 files and found no dangerous patterns, hardcoded secrets, or requests for dangerous system permissions. Because it is designed to generate configuration files, it operates locally. While it requires basic standard permissions to write files to your project directory and parse command-line arguments, it does not access sensitive user data, execute background shell commands, or make unauthorized network requests.

Quality Assessment
The project demonstrates strong health and maintenance indicators. It uses the permissive Apache-2.0 license and is highly active, with its most recent code push happening today. It has earned a moderate level of community trust with 51 GitHub stars and provides professional security disclosure policies. The author maintains standard CI/CD pipelines and code coverage checks, indicating a reliable and well-maintained open-source project.

Verdict
Safe to use—a straightforward, actively maintained utility that poses minimal security risks while improving AI coding workflows.

Features

📋 Instructions & Rules

Scaffold AI-specific coding instructions and best practices rules into your project:

  • Security-focused coding practices
  • Vulnerability detection and remediation
  • Testing strategies and guidelines

🔌 MCP (Model Context Protocol) Configuration

Automatically configure MCP servers for enhanced agentic coding capabilities:

  • GitHub Copilot: Configures .vscode/mcp.json
  • Gemini CLI: Configures .gemini/settings.json
  • Non-destructive merging with existing configurations

Learn more in the MCP Feature Documentation.

⚡ Custom Commands & Prompts

Scaffold reusable commands and prompts for your AI coding assistant:

  • GitHub Copilot: Deploys to .github/prompts/ as prompt files
  • Pre-built commands for common workflows (e.g., implementing GitHub issues)
  • Easily extensible with your own custom commands
