How to Migrate BoldCreate Rules to Instructions

Professional guide to migrate legacy rule configurations from config.yaml and .sfcoderules to Custom Instructions.

Problem Summary

In versions prior to 2.0.0, BoldCreate stored rule configurations in two legacy formats: config.yaml and .sfcoderules. Starting from version 2.0.0, these formats are no longer supported. All rule definitions must now be migrated to the Custom Instructions file structure to ensure BoldCreate continues applying them correctly.

Possible Causes

  • In earlier versions of BoldCreate, rules were stored in legacy locations (config.yaml and .sfcoderules) and BoldCreate automatically used them. Starting from version 2.0.0, these legacy files are no longer detected or processed.

Resolution Steps

Step 1: Create a New Instruction File

Note: Custom Instructions are supported only in version 2.0.0 or later. If you are using an older version, please update to the latest version of BoldCreate.

Step 2: Migrate Existing Rules
