### Global Rules Directory Location
The location of your Global Rules directory depends on your operating system:
| Operating System | Default Location | Notes |
|------------------|------------------|-------|
| **Windows** | `Documents\Cline\Rules` | Uses system Documents folder |
| **macOS** | `~/Documents/Cline/Rules` | Uses user Documents folder |
| **Linux/WSL** | `~/Documents/Cline/Rules` | May fall back to `~/Cline/Rules` on some systems |
> **Note for Linux/WSL users**: If you don't find your global rules in `~/Documents/Cline/Rules`, check `~/Cline/Rules` as the location may vary depending on your system configuration and whether the Documents directory exists.
You can also have Cline create a rule for you by using the [`/newrule` slash command](/features/slash-commands/new-rule) in the chat.
