what is rulesentry fr?

rulesentry is a tool that catches hidden instructions smuggled into configuration files used by AI coding assistants. These are files like CLAUDE.md, .cursorrules, or copilot-instructions.md that tell an AI agent how to behave. The problem it addresses is that a human reviewer sees one thing when reading these files, but the AI reads the raw underlying data, and attackers can exploit that gap by embedding invisible text. The attacks work through several tricks. Invisible Unicode characters can hide entire commands inside a line that looks innocent to a person. Bidirectional override characters, known as Trojan Source, reorder text so the line you read differs from what the agent reads. Some Claude Code skill files can run shell commands and insert the output before the model sees the file, which means a malicious instruction can execute before anyone notices. Homoglyphs, like a Cyrillic letter that looks like a Latin one, can spoof an allow-list entry. rulesentry detects all of these and shows you exactly what the agent reads versus what you see, with precise byte offsets. You can run it with no installation or configuration using npx rulesentry scan, and it will automatically find and check the relevant agent files in your repository. A clean scan prints one line and exits successfully. If it finds problems, it prints a reveal diff and exits with an error code, which makes it suitable for automated use in continuous integration. You can also run rulesentry fix to preview safe normalization, or add --write to strip invisible characters in place. It only removes characters where the fix is unambiguous, leaving homoglyphs and executable strings flagged for human review. The tool integrates as a GitHub Action or a pre-commit hook, so scans run automatically on pushes and pull requests. It can output results in JSON or SARIF format for GitHub's Security tab. Every scanned file gets a receipt with hashes representing what a human perceives and what the agent actually reads, so code review has a verifiable record when those two values differ.
