-CodeRabbit will analyse and learn from your organisation's code guidelines, which you can set up in the knowledge base section. These guidelines will then be used to conduct thorough code reviews.
+CodeRabbit can read _code guideline_ files that set standards and expectations about
+your team's coding practices, described in natural language. CodeRabbit applies any instructions it reads from a repository's code guideline files to all subsequent code reviews.
 
-The following patterns are scanned by default.
+By default, CodeRabbit looks for and loads guideline files used by other AI coding assistants, including the following:
 
-```text
-**/.cursorrules
-.github/copilot-instructions.md
-**/CLAUDE.md
-**/.cursor/rules/*
-**/.windsurfrules
-**/.clinerules/*
-**/.rules/*
-```

+- Cursor
+- Gemini
+- GitHub Copilot

-![Illustration of code guidelines configuration](/img/knowledge-base/code-guidelines.png)
+You can also mark any other file
+or set of files in your repository as code guidelines by providing CodeRabbit with a list
+of paths to those files.
+
+This feature is enabled by default; you can disable it if needed.
+
+For more information about configuring the code guidelines feature, see [Code guidelines](/reference/configuration#code-guidelines) in the configuration reference page.
