# 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

```bash theme={null}
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

```bash theme={null}
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`:

```yaml theme={null}
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.
