The Cynosure Design System ships two machine-readable context files that give AI coding tools the knowledge they need to generate correct, on-brand components without extra guidance.

<table class="table table-sm">
<thead><tr><th>File</th><th>Format</th><th>Best for</th></tr></thead>
<tbody>
<tr><td><code><a href="/AGENTS.md">AGENTS.md</a></code></td><td>Markdown</td><td>AI coding assistants (Cursor, Copilot, Claude Code) — full project conventions</td></tr>
<tr><td><code><a href="/llms.txt">llms.txt</a></code></td><td>Plain text</td><td>One-shot LLM prompting — stack summary, token values, block list, doc links</td></tr>
</tbody>
</table>

## Quick start

### Cursor

Place `AGENTS.md` at the root of your implementation project. Cursor reads it automatically. Reference it explicitly with `@AGENTS.md` in any chat message.

```bash
curl -O https://cynosure.handoff.com/AGENTS.md
```

### ChatGPT / Claude Projects

Add `AGENTS.md` or `llms.txt` as a project knowledge file. Both files will be included in every conversation automatically.

### One-shot prompting

```bash
curl https://cynosure.handoff.com/llms.txt | pbcopy
# Paste as context into your LLM prompt
```
