Paste a public GitHub repo. rules-clinic fetches every AI agent config file it ships — CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, .cursorrules, .windsurfrules, GEMINI.md, copilot-instructions.md, and the rest — diffs them against each other, and shows you the conflicts, duplications and drift in 30 seconds.

By May 2026, AI coding agents read different files. Claude Code reads CLAUDE.md. Codex CLI, Cursor, Copilot, Windsurf, Aider and many others read AGENTS.md (now stewarded by the Agentic AI Foundation under the Linux Foundation, adopted by 60,000+ open-source projects). Gemini CLI reads GEMINI.md. Cline reads .clinerules. Cursor and Windsurf also still read their own legacy .cursorrules / .windsurfrules files. Roo reads ROO.md.
Most teams now ship more than one of these files. They get out of sync. The agents quietly read different things and produce inconsistent output. rules-clinic is the audit tool for that mess.
CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md exist, but CLAUDE.md does not @AGENTS.md-import the latter. Per Anthropic's May 2026 docs, Claude Code does not read AGENTS.md directly.chaos = clamp(high*15 + med*6 + low*2 + file_count*1.5, 0, 100)
verdict:
< 15 Low drift
< 40 Watch out
< 70 High chaos
≥ 70 Critical driftThe only data source is the GitHub public REST API. We hit /repos/{owner}/{repo} once for metadata and /repos/{owner}/{repo}/contents/{path} for each candidate file. 404 is expected for most paths and silently skipped. No LLM calls. No mocks. No seed data masquerading as live data.
There is no login. Anyone can scan any public repo. Recent scans are listed anonymously on the home page (owner/repo only). We do not push anything to your repository — the merge proposal is yours to copy.
