Rules

Rules are instructions you write that shape pipeline behavior. They are injected before every prompt.

Scope options

• Global — applies to all pipelines and all clients
• Pipeline — applies only when a specific pipeline runs
• Client — applies only when a pipeline runs in the context of a specific client

Priority ordering

Rules are applied in priority order. Drag to reorder them in Memory > Rules.

Higher-priority rules appear first in the prompt, so they have stronger influence on the model's response.

Creating a rule

1. Go to Memory > Rules.
2. Click New Rule.
3. Enter the rule text (a plain English instruction).
4. Select scope: Global, Pipeline, or Client.
5. Click Save.

The rule is added at the bottom of your rule list. Drag to reorder.

Examples

Global rules — apply to everything:

• "Always respond in British English."
• "Never exceed 500 words per section."
• "Use markdown formatting in all outputs."

Pipeline-specific rules — apply only when that pipeline runs:

• "For the SEO Report pipeline: include keyword density percentages."
• "For the Email Draft pipeline: keep subject lines under 50 characters."

Client-specific rules — apply to a specific client:

• "For Acme Corp: always use formal tone."
• "For Startup Inc: prioritize speed over perfection."

Modifying a rule

1. Go to Memory > Rules.
2. Click the rule to edit it.
3. Change the text, scope, or priority.
4. Click Save.

Deleting a rule removes it from all future pipeline runs.
