      "pathPatterns": ["/web/**", "/apps/web/**"]
    }
  }
}
```

## Advanced Pattern Matching

### Negative Patterns (Exclude)

```json
{
  "backend-dev-guidelines": {
    "promptTriggers": {
      "keywords": ["backend"],
      "intentPatterns": [
        "backend",
        "(?!.*test).*backend"  // Match "backend" but not if "test" appears
      ]
    }
  }
}
```

### Compound Patterns

```json
{
  "database-migration": {
    "promptTriggers": {
      "intentPatterns": [
        "(create|generate|run).*(migration|schema change)",
        "(add|remove|modify).*(column|table|index)"
      ]
    }
  }
}
```

### Context-Aware Patterns

```json
{
  "error-handling": {
    "promptTriggers": {
      "keywords": ["error", "exception", "try", "catch"],
      "intentPatterns": [
        "(handle|catch|throw).*(error|exception)",
        "error.*handling"
      ]
    }
  }
}
```

## Enforcement Levels

```json
{
  "critical-skill": {
    "enforcement": "block",    // Block if not used (future feature)
    "priority": "high"
  },
  "recommended-skill": {
    "enforcement": "suggest",  // Suggest usage
    "priority": "medium"
  },
  "optional-skill": {
    "enforcement": "optional", // Mention availability
    "priority": "low"
  }
}
```

## Tips for Creating Rules

1. **Start broad, refine narrow** - Begin with general keywords, narrow based on false positives
2. **Use priority wisely** - High priority for critical skills only
3. **Test patterns** - Validate regex patterns before deploying
4. **Monitor activation** - Track which skills activate and adjust
5. **Keep it maintainable** - Comment complex patterns
6. **Version control** - Track changes to rules over time
