# Rulepack Reference
A rulepack selects which declared design features Burr checks.
Rulepacks are JSON files with schema `burr.rulepack.v1`.

`feature_edge_distance` defaults to `diameter_mm` for circular envelopes.
Counterbore rules should override `diameter_field` to
`counterbore_diameter_mm` so Burr checks the larger screw-head recess, not only
the smaller bore.
Bearing-seat edge rules should override `diameter_field` to
`seat_diameter_mm` so Burr checks the bearing support envelope, not a smaller
shaft or pilot hole.
Standoff-boss edge rules should override `center_field` and `diameter_field` to
`boss_center_mm` and `boss_diameter_mm` so Burr checks the boss footprint, not
the smaller supported screw hole.
Insert-pocket edge rules should override `center_field` and `diameter_field` to
`pocket_center_mm` and `pocket_diameter_mm` so Burr checks the pocket envelope,
not an unrelated feature center.
## Selection
Design data can choose a rulepack:
```json
{
"schema_version": "burr.design-data.v1",
"rulepack": { "path": "../../../rules/captured_slider.rulepack.json" }
}
```
The CLI can override that choice:
```bash
burr check --rulepack rules/printed_plate.rulepack.json .
```
## Supported Rule Kinds
```txt
hole_edge_distance -> hole center has enough distance to a free edge
feature_edge_distance -> feature envelope has enough material to a free edge
minimum_wall_thickness -> hole leaves enough printable wall
fastener_support_wall_thickness -> boss/support leaves enough radial material
blind_pocket_back_wall_thickness -> blind pocket leaves enough material behind its bottom
standoff_boss_support_link -> boss references and aligns with the hole or insert it supports
feature_presence -> declared feature exists in the exported STEP
feature_count -> declared feature inventory count is in range
feature_pair_spacing -> declared feature pair leaves enough ligament
numeric_range -> declared measurement is in range
```
`standoff_boss_support_link` checks metadata relationship, not STEP geometry:
```json
{
"id": "m3_standoff_boss_support_link",
"kind": "standoff_boss_support_link",
"applies_to": {
"kind": "standoff_boss",
"fastener": "M3",
"intent_any": ["mechanical_interface"]
},
"centerline_tolerance_mm": 0.25,
"support_diameter_tolerance_mm": 0.05,
"axis_dot_min": 0.99
}
```
## Boundary
Rulepacks are design-rule checks, not constraint solvers. A rulepack only checks
declared features and measurements it selects.
