You can share your entire rule set with a teammate using two keywords: invite-rules and receive-rules. These are typed directly in your Claude Code session — they are not slash commands.

​
Send rules

Type invite-rules followed by the recipient’s email: 
You: invite-rules bob@company.com
The hook sends a share invite to the recipient. You’ll see a confirmation: 
Invite sent to bob@company.com (12 rule files).
Tell the recipient to type receive-rules and enter the code.
The recipient receives an email with a 6-digit OTP code. The code expires after 24 hours. If you forget to include the email, Claude will ask for it: 
You: invite-rules

Claude: What email address should I send the rules to?

You: bob@company.com

​
Receive rules

The recipient types receive-rules followed by the OTP from the email: 
You: receive-rules 123456
The hook stages the shared files and Claude presents a conflict report: 
Received 12 rule files from alice@company.com

  New rules:      8  (rules you don't have)
  Duplicates:     3  (rules you already have — will be skipped)
  Conflicts:      1  (rules that contradict yours)

Conflict details:
  Your rule:   "Use snake_case for all variables"
  Their rule:  "Use camelCase for all variables"

​
Resolve conflicts

After reviewing the report, Claude presents four options:
OptionWhat happens
(A) Accept — keep mine on conflictsImports all new rules, skips duplicates, keeps your version where there are conflicts
(B) Accept — keep theirs on conflictsImports all new rules, skips duplicates, keeps the sender’s version on conflicts
(C) Keep staged for laterRules stay staged, no merge — you can revisit later
(D) RejectAll staged shared files are deleted

​
