-## `qmk console`
-
-This command lets you connect to keyboard consoles to get debugging messages. It only works if your keyboard firmware has been compiled with `CONSOLE_ENABLE=yes`.
-
-**Usage**:
-
-```
-qmk console [-d <pid>:<vid>[:<index>]] [-l] [-n] [-t] [-w <seconds>]
-```
-
-**Examples**:
-
-Connect to all available keyboards and show their console messages:
-
-```
-qmk console
-```
-
-List all devices:
-
-```
-qmk console -l
-```
-
-Show only messages from clueboard/66/rev3 keyboards:
-
-```
-qmk console -d C1ED:2370
-```
-
-Show only messages from the second clueboard/66/rev3:
-
-```
-qmk console -d C1ED:2370:2
-```
-
-Show timestamps and VID:PID instead of names:
-
-```
-qmk console -n -t
-```
-
-Disable bootloader messages:
-
-```
-qmk console --no-bootloaders
-```
-
 ## `qmk doctor`
 
 This command examines your environment and alerts you to potential build or flash problems. It can fix many of them if you want it to.

 Many of the settings written in the `rules.mk` file are interpreted by `common_features.mk`, which sets the necessary source files and compiler options.
 
+The `post_rules.mk` file can interpret `features` of a keyboard-level before `common_features.mk`.  For example, when your designed keyboard has the option to implement backlighting or underglow using rgblight.c, writing the following in the `post_rules.mk` makes it easier for the user to configure the `rules.mk`.

+  ```makefile
+  # Please set the following according to the selection of the hardware implementation option.
+  RGBLED_OPTION_TYPE = backlight   ## none, backlight or underglow
+  ```
+* `keyboards/top_folder/post_rules.mk`
+  ```makefile
+  ifeq ($(filter $(strip $(RGBLED_OPTION_TYPE))x, nonex backlightx underglowx x),)
