About Pathrule

Pathrule acts as a context layer for AI coding agents, delivering product-specific knowledge to agents before they process prompts. It maintains a shared understanding of a product across different surfaces such as Chat, Tasks, Design, and Signals. The tool integrates with existing AI agents like Claude Code, Codex, Grok, and others, allowing teams to switch agents without losing context. Pathrule supports multiple interfaces including a macOS Studio app, a CLI, a VS Code extension, an MCP server, and an iOS app. It also offers self-hosted deployment for infrastructure control. The system learns which knowledge is useful for specific types of work and delivers only relevant context, reducing token usage while preserving critical information. Workflows can move between different surfaces without rebuilding context each time, enabling continuous collaboration.
