The Timewarrior rule system reads your timewarrior.cfg file and uses the combination of configuration settings and logic within to:
- Define configuration and customization details
- Define tags, exclusions, constraints
- Define various policies
On non-Unix systems config file is expected in ~/.timewarrior directory.
On Unix systems, if legacy ~/.timewarrior directory doesn't exist, config is
read from $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/timewarrior directory (if not specified,
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME defaults to ~/.config).

The rules are a mechanism to apply late-bound logic and data to various
functions. Whenever data changes, the rule system is run, which will run each
rule in turn, if it applies, going from top to bottom in the rules file. There
are no chained rules, but errors will be able to terminate rule processing and
program execution.

Rule Type: General

There are rules triggered by changes to the data. In this example, rule 'one'
is a constraint that prevents the value 'foo' from exceeding three. It is
triggered by a change to 'foo', which is a DOM reference, and can prevent the

There is only one theme namespace, so if multiple themes are imported, the last
one can override all the prior theme settings. This means themes can be layered,
but they would need to be designed for this.

While there may not be hooks in the traditional sense, with fixed arguments,
there will be rules that have the same role. Hook rules will allow an internal
event to trigger a rule that calls an external script, and passes an arbitrary
