# `rules` — Rules

An ordered list of guardrails and behavioural constraints injected into the system prompt. Each rule has an enforcement level; a rule can also be a `callback` that fires a webhook when the rule fires.

> List of rule objects. Each entry is injected into the system prompt as a hard constraint.
