How rules are loaded
When you invoke a paid agent, nablr fetches the relevant rule files from the license server and injects them into the prompt. Rules are cached locally in ~/.nablr_cache/assets/ after the first activation — subsequent calls are instant with zero network dependency.
discovery and platform_engineer are permanently free — no key required.
