Codeium Windsurf IDE rules file

Due to lacking documentation:

Wave 8 and beyond

Now, Rules are defined in markdown (.md) files within the repository’s root folder of .windsurf/rules. After creating a Rules file with a descriptive name (just like with Workflows), the user will be greeted with a GUI wrapper around the Markdown file.

for more information check the official blog post

Before Wave 8

At the root of your project, create a file .windsurfrules

Add appropriate rules for you project in the following format:

1. My build system is Bazel
2. My testing framework is pytest
3. Don't modify any files in ...
4. Don't use these APIs ...
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
