Ruleherd is a CLI tool that audits agent instruction files (CLAUDE.md, .cursor/rules, etc.) for contradictions, dead references, duplicates, stale versions, and other drift. It is interesting because it addresses a growing pain point: maintaining consistent rules across multiple AI coding assistants without introducing yet another format, using heuristic checks and a zero-dependency Node script.

Target audience: developers using multiple AI coding assistants, devops engineers, and teams maintaining shared agent configurations
