Adding New Integration Rules
When adding a new integration rule:
- •Create a new file in
rules/using kebab-case naming - •Follow the rule template structure from
templates/rule-template.md - •Include platform-specific configuration examples
- •Add troubleshooting steps for common issues
- •Register the rule in the appropriate table above
- •Run
pnpm lint:fixto ensure compliance
Example Integration Platforms
Consider creating rules for these popular platforms:
Capability Rules:
