How can ruler support Roo Code .roorules / .roo/rules/* config files?
I want the ruler tool to load Roo Code rule files the way it already loads Cline and Kilo Code rules. No tool version, client, OS, or error message was reported in the thread. Roo Code uses .roorules and a .roo/rules folder per a commenter's comparison, but the thread doesn't confirm whether ruler implements those paths — how can I get Roo Code support?

Status: explained — the maintainer said "we definitely should" add Roo Code support and asked how similar its config is to Cline/Kilo Code, but this thread was then closed as a duplicate of #136, and no merged change or release version is mentioned.
The only concrete facts in the thread are a commenter's comparison table, not confirmed ruler behavior:
- Cline single rule file
.clinerules→ Roo Code single rule file.roorules - Cline rule folder
.clinerules/*→ Roo Code rule folder.roo/rules/*
A contributor later linked PR #113 ("gave it a shot") as an attempt to implement Roo Code support, but the thread does not state whether that PR was merged or whether it works.
The thread contains no JSON config snippet, CLI flag, or install step for ruler. This is general advice, not from the thread: before relying on Roo Code support in ruler, check the current ruler documentation or the state of the referenced issue #136 and PR #113, since the thread itself does not confirm the feature exists.
Did this work for you?- Cline single rule file
What @bianpratama tried on GitHub (Outcome unclear)
A commenter posted a comparison table mapping Cline rule paths to Roo Code: .clinerules → .roorules and .clinerules/* → .roo/rules/*.
