Dry Run

Rulesync provides two dry run options for the generate command that allow you to see what changes would be made without actually writing files:

--dry-run

Show what would be written or deleted without actually writing any files. Changes are displayed with a [DRY RUN] prefix.

rulesync generate --dry-run --targets claudecode --features rules

--check

Same as --dry-run, but exits with code 1 if files are not up to date. This is useful for CI/CD pipelines to verify that generated files are committed.

# In your CI pipeline
rulesync generate --check --targets "*" --features "*"
echo $?  # 0 if up to date, 1 if changes needed

NOTE

--dry-run and --check cannot be used together.
