/edikt:rules-update

Check for outdated rule packs and update them to the latest version from the edikt registry.

Usage

/edikt:rules-update

What it does

Compares the version of each installed .claude/rules/*.md file against the edikt template registry. For any outdated pack, downloads the latest version and replaces the installed file.

Manually edited rule files (no <!-- edikt:generated --> marker) are never overwritten — edikt skips them and notes the manual edit.

Output

Checking rule pack versions...

  go.md         1.0 → 1.2  updated
  typescript.md 1.1 → 1.1  ok
  security.md   1.3 → 1.3  ok
  nextjs.md     (manual edit — skipped)

1 pack updated.

When to run

• When /edikt:doctor warns that a pack is outdated
• Periodically to pick up new rules and improvements
• After the edikt installer is updated

Preserving customizations

If you've added custom rules to an edikt-generated file, add a section below the generated content and remove the <!-- edikt:generated --> marker. edikt will never touch that file again.

For extensible customization without losing updates, append rules in a separate file: .claude/rules/my-custom-rules.md.

Natural language triggers

• "update rule packs"
• "are my rules up to date?"
• "update edikt rules"
