Implementation Summary: Rules CLI Generation Feature

Status: ✅ Complete

Files Modified

D:\Claude_dms3\ccw\src\core\routes\rules-routes.ts

Changes:

1. Added import for executeCliTool from cli-executor
2. Implemented generateRuleViaCLI() function
3. Modified POST /api/rules/create endpoint to support mode: 'cli-generate'

Implementation Details

1. New Function: generateRuleViaCLI()

Location: lines 224-340

Purpose: Generate rule content using Gemini CLI based on different generation strategies

Parameters:

• generationType: 'description' | 'template' | 'extract'
• description: Natural language description of the rule
• templateType: Template category for structured generation
• extractScope: File pattern for code analysis (e.g., 'src/**/*.ts')
• extractFocus: Focus areas for extraction (e.g., 'error handling, naming')
• fileName: Target filename (must end with .md)
• location: 'project' or 'user'
• subdirectory: Optional subdirectory path
• projectPath: Project root directory

Process Flow:

1. Parse parameters and determine generation type
2. Build appropriate CLI prompt template based on type
3. Execute Gemini CLI with:
   • Tool: 'gemini'
   • Mode: 'write' for description/template, 'analysis' for extract
   • Timeout: 10 minutes (600000ms)
   • Working directory: projectPath
4. Validate CLI execution result
5. Extract generated content from stdout
6. Call createRule() to save the file
7. Return result with execution ID

2. Prompt Templates

Description Mode (write)

PURPOSE: Generate Claude Code memory rule from description to guide Claude's behavior
TASK: • Analyze rule requirements • Generate markdown content with clear instructions
MODE: write
EXPECTED: Complete rule content in markdown format
RULES: $(cat ~/.claude/workflows/cli-templates/prompts/universal/00-universal-rigorous-style.txt)

Template Mode (write)

PURPOSE: Generate Claude Code rule from template type
TASK: • Create rule based on {templateType} • Generate structured markdown content
MODE: write
EXPECTED: Complete rule content in markdown format following template structure
RULES: $(cat ~/.claude/workflows/cli-templates/prompts/universal/00-universal-rigorous-style.txt)

Extract Mode (analysis)

PURPOSE: Extract coding rules from existing codebase to document patterns and conventions
TASK: • Analyze code patterns • Extract common conventions • Identify best practices
MODE: analysis
CONTEXT: @{extractScope || '**/*'}
EXPECTED: Rule content based on codebase analysis with examples
RULES: $(cat ~/.claude/workflows/cli-templates/prompts/analysis/02-analyze-code-patterns.txt)

3. API Endpoint Modification

Endpoint: POST /api/rules/create

Enhanced Request Body:

{
  "mode": "cli-generate",           // NEW: triggers CLI generation
  "generationType": "description",  // NEW: 'description' | 'template' | 'extract'
  "description": "...",             // NEW: for description mode
  "templateType": "...",            // NEW: for template mode
  "extractScope": "src/**/*.ts",    // NEW: for extract mode
  "extractFocus": "...",            // NEW: for extract mode
  "fileName": "rule-name.md",       // REQUIRED
  "location": "project",            // REQUIRED: 'project' | 'user'
  "subdirectory": "",               // OPTIONAL
  "projectPath": "..."              // OPTIONAL: defaults to initialPath
}

Backward Compatibility: Existing manual creation still works:

{
  "fileName": "rule-name.md",
  "content": "# Rule Content\n...",
  "location": "project",
  "paths": [],
  "subdirectory": ""
}

Response Format:

{
  "success": true,
  "fileName": "rule-name.md",
  "location": "project",
  "path": "/absolute/path/to/rule-name.md",
  "subdirectory": null,
  "generatedContent": "# Generated Content\n...",
  "executionId": "1734168000000-gemini"
}

Error Handling

Validation Errors

• Missing fileName: "File name is required"
• Missing location: "Location is required (project or user)"
• Missing generationType in CLI mode: "generationType is required for CLI generation mode"
• Missing description for description mode: "description is required for description-based generation"
• Missing templateType for template mode: "templateType is required for template-based generation"
• Unknown generationType: "Unknown generation type: {type}"

CLI Execution Errors

• CLI tool failure: Returns { error: "CLI execution failed: ...", stderr: "..." }
• Empty content: Returns { error: "CLI execution returned empty content", stdout: "...", stderr: "..." }
• Timeout: CLI executor will timeout after 10 minutes
• File exists: "Rule '{fileName}' already exists in {location} location"

Testing

Test Document

Created: D:\Claude_dms3\test-rules-cli-generation.md

Contains:

• API usage examples for all 3 generation types
• Request/response format examples
• Error handling scenarios
• Integration details

Compilation Test

✅ TypeScript compilation successful (npm run build)

Integration Points

Dependencies

• cli-executor.ts: Provides executeCliTool() for Gemini execution
• createRule(): Existing function for file creation
• handlePostRequest(): Existing request handler from RouteContext

CLI Tool

• Tool: Gemini (via executeCliTool())
• Timeout: 10 minutes (600000ms)
• Mode: 'write' for generation, 'analysis' for extraction
• Working Directory: Project path for context access

Next Steps (Not Implemented)

1. UI Integration: Add frontend interface in Rules Manager dashboard
2. Streaming Output: Display CLI execution progress in real-time
3. Preview: Show generated content before saving
4. Refinement: Allow iterative refinement of generated rules
5. Templates Library: Add predefined template types
6. History: Track generation history and allow regeneration

Verification Checklist

• Import cli-executor functions
• Implement generateRuleViaCLI() with 3 generation types
• Build appropriate prompts for each type
• Use correct MODE (analysis vs write)
• Set timeout to at least 10 minutes
• Integrate with createRule() for file creation
• Modify POST endpoint to support mode: 'cli-generate'
• Validate required parameters
• Return unified result format
• Handle errors appropriately
• Maintain backward compatibility
• Verify TypeScript compilation
• Create test documentation
