Vibe Rules Collection by copyleftdev

Surf smarter. Code smoother. Let the vibes guide you.

🌊 Overview

Vibe Rules Collection is a curated library of .windsurfrules files designed to guide AI coding assistants—especially Codeium's Cascade—to generate code that reflects best practices, idiomatic styles, and architectural clarity.

This repo provides a language- and framework-aware vibe system for smoother developer + AI collaboration.

🎯 Purpose

AI tools accelerate development—but without vibes, they can generate code that’s noisy, offbeat, or even anti-patterned.

Enter Vibe Rules.

Each .windsurfrules file serves as a lightweight blueprint for:

• Language idioms
• Architectural paradigms
• Design system consistency
• DevOps conventions

Think of these files as surfboards: they help your AI ride the right wave.

🚀 Usage

1. Clone or reference the relevant .windsurfrules files.
2. Integrate with a compatible AI coding assistant (like Cascade in Windsurf IDE).
3. Let your assistant vibe in style.

Configure your project to load rule files automatically or use them contextually via prompts.
