Check out the RuleService:

org.alfresco.service.cmr.rule.RuleService‍

The RuleService allows you to create rules dynamically and set them to the space of your choice.

For example:

            // Create a condition
            ActionCondition actionCondition = actionService.createActionCondition(NoConditionEvaluator.NAME);
            
            // Create an action
            Action actionAddAspect = actionService.createAction(AddFeaturesActionExecuter.NAME);
            actionAddAspect.setTitle("Add some aspect.");
            actionAddAspect.setExecuteAsynchronously(false);
            actionAddAspect.setParameterValue(AddFeaturesActionExecuter.PARAM_ASPECT_NAME, [aspectQName]);
            actionAddAspect.setParameterValue(AddFeaturesActionExecuter.PARAM_ASPECT_PROPERTIES, [aspectParams]);

            // Create a rule
            Rule rule = ruleService.createRule("inbound");
            rule.setTitle("My New'N'Shiny Inbound Rule");
            rule.applyToChildren(true);
            rule.addActionCondition(actionCondition);
            rule.addAction(actionAddAspect);
            
            ruleService.saveRule([targetNode], rule);
