O’Doyle Rules

Read the repo, write the rules.

§ 01Mechanism
Step01
Fetch.

Paste any GitHub URL — public works as-is, private just needs a token (paste it once, stays in your browser). Or skip GitHub entirely and pick a local folder; the picker reads in your browser, only the curated slice you approve gets sent up.

Step02
Ground.

We score every path for rules-relevance — manifests, configs, READMEs, entry points — and send the top ~12 (Free) or ~24 (Pro) files to Claude Sonnet 4.6. The output is rooted in your actual conventions, not boilerplate.

Step03
Reshape.

Pro retunes the base markdown per tool — Cursor's MDC bundle with globs, AGENTS.md ordering, Windsurf voice, Copilot brevity. Each format reshaped for its agent, not just renamed.
