Inspect rule IDs, severity, fixability, and impact

List every rule, search interactively, and understand severity, fixability, and score impact before overriding or suppressing findings.

aislop rules explains the rule catalog directly in your terminal. Use it before changing rule severity, adding suppressions, or deciding whether a finding is mechanical cleanup or a strict defect.

Usage

aislop rules
aislop rules ./packages/api
aislop rules --search

Output fields

Each rule entry includes:

Field	Meaning
Rule ID	Stable identifier such as ai-slop/narrative-comment
Severity	Default severity: error, warning, or info
Fixability	Whether aislop fix can resolve it mechanically
Impact tier	How strongly it contributes to the score
Description	What pattern the rule catches

Search mode

aislop rules --search

Search mode opens an interactive terminal explorer. Search by rule ID, engine, or description.

Score-impact tiers

Tier	Meaning
strict	High-confidence defect or security issue
standard	Real quality issue that may need judgment
maintainability	Design or refactoring debt
mechanical	Cleanup that a simple edit or aislop fix can usually handle
style	Readability and policy pressure
advisory	Medium-confidence signal that should stay visible but score softly

Override a rule

Add rule overrides to .aislop/config.yml:

rules:
  ai-slop/narrative-comment: warning
  ai-slop/trivial-comment: "off"
  security/hardcoded-secret: error

Use off sparingly. Prefer a rule-scoped inline suppression when the exception is local.
