1. A method comprising:
determining at least one value for one or more drill bit performance parameters for a design of a drill bit, wherein the one or more drill bit performance parameters comprises a functional characteristic of a depth of cut controller in a cone of the drill bit;
correlating one or more instances of cutting-induced stick-slip vibration for at least one prior drilling operation to the at least one value for the one or more drill bit performance parameters;
generating drill bit design rules that mitigate cutting-induced stick-slip vibration based on the correlating, wherein generating drill bit design rules includes defining a threshold value for the functional characteristic of the depth of cut controller;
adjusting the value for the functional characteristic of the depth of cut controller to satisfy the defined threshold value;
updating the drill bit design rules based on the adjusted value for the functional characteristic of the depth of cut controller; and
communicating with drilling tools positioned downhole to adjust drilling parameters in real time according to the updated drill bit design rules.
