Ārai

Ārai converts instruction files like CLAUDE.md and .cursorrules into enforced guardrails for AI coding assistants. Instead of treating rules as advisory text that models can ignore, it uses native hooks to block prohibited tool calls before they execute and maintains a tamper-evident audit log showing per-rule compliance. The tool works with Claude Code, Grok Build, Codex, and Cursor, plus a git pre-commit gate for any tool.

Designed for developers who want their coding policies actually enforced, Ārai requires no format changes to existing instruction files and runs locally at zero cost. It classifies rules by intent, injects constraints at the point of action, and provides compliance verdicts—whether each rule was obeyed, ignored, or unclear.
