PathruleWhat is open,
and what is not.
Everything that runs on your machine is open source under Apache-2.0 in one repository, github.com/pathrule/pathrule, and the CLI on npm is built from it. Pathrule Cloud is proprietary. This page says exactly where that line is.

- pathrule (Apache-2.0)The foundation in eleven packages: the knowledge store, retrieval and ranking, the hooks, the local MCP server, the host, the CLI with its Pathrule Cloud client, the Local Console and the VS Code extension. It runs with no account, no network and no model.
- benchmark (Apache-2.0)PathruleBench: fixtures, scenarios, hidden checks, the harness and every published chain with each turn's token usage.
- patterns (Apache-2.0)Ready-made knowledge bundles you can import at a path.
- mcp (MIT)An earlier MCP server, kept public and frozen. The current local MCP server comes with the CLI.
The CLI is published to npm as @pathrule/cli under Apache-2.0, built from one public repository. These are the repositories under github.com/pathrule.
