 The plugin comes with default system prompts optimized for chat and instruct models, as these currently provide better results for code assistance. If you prefer using FIM (Fill-in-Middle) models, you can easily customize the system prompt in the settings.
 
+## Project Rules Configuration
+
+QodeAssist supports project-specific rules to customize AI behavior for your codebase. Create a `.qodeassist/rules/` directory in your project root.
+
+### Quick Start
+```bash
+mkdir -p .qodeassist/rules/{common,completion,chat,quickrefactor}
+```
+```
+.qodeassist/
+└── rules/
+    ├── common/           # Applied to all contexts
+    ├── completion/       # Code completion only
+    ├── chat/            # Chat assistant only
+    └── quickrefactor/   # Quick refactor only
+```
+All .md files in each directory are automatically loaded and added to the system prompt.
+
+Example
+Create .qodeassist/rules/common/general.md:
+```markdown
+# Project Guidelines
+- Use snake_case for private members
+- Prefix interfaces with 'I'
+- Always document public APIs
+- Prefer Qt containers over STL
+```
+
 ## File Context Feature
 
 QodeAssist provides two powerful ways to include source code files in your chat conversations: Attachments and Linked Files. Each serves a distinct purpose and helps provide better context for the AI assistant.
