When you have multiple repositories, keeping coding standards consistent is a challenge. Kodus supports rule inheritance so you can define rules once and apply them everywhere.

​
Organization-level rules

Create rules at the organization level and they automatically apply to all repositories:
  1. Go to Code Review Settings → Global → Kody Rules
  2. Create your rules — they apply to every repository in the organization
  3. Individual repositories can inherit, override, or exclude specific rules

​
Rule inheritance

Rules flow down from organization → repository → directory:
  • Organization rules apply everywhere by default
  • Repository rules can override or extend organization rules
  • Directory rules can further specialize for specific paths
A repository can exclude an inherited rule if it doesn’t apply to that codebase.

​
Cross-repository references

Use @repo:org/project in rule instructions to reference files from other repositories: 
Ensure API endpoints follow the pattern defined in @repo:team/api-standards.
This lets you maintain a central standards repository that all rules reference.

​
Memories across the organization

Memories scoped to organization level apply across all repositories. For example: 
@kody remember: across all repos, we use ESLint flat config format.
