# Use with coding agents

GistUI is built to be installed by a coding agent as easily as by a person. There are three ways to give an agent what it needs.

## The agent skill

`@gistui/catalog` ships a skill that matches the installed version:

- `SKILL.md`: how to add GistUI to an app in every framework, with the Vercel AI SDK, tools, forms and theming.
- `reference.md`: the language itself, generated from the catalog. Every component, prop, enum and flag.

After `npm install @gistui/catalog`, tell your agent:

To keep it as a project skill, copy the folder:

```sh
cp -r node_modules/@gistui/catalog/skills/gistui .claude/skills/gistui
```

## These docs, as Markdown

Every page here has a Markdown version. Add `index.md` to a page's address, or use the **Copy page** button at the top of a page.

| Address | What it is |
|---|---|
| `/llms.txt` | An index of every page with a one-line summary |
| `/llms-full.txt` | The whole documentation as one text file |
| `/<page>/index.md` | One page as clean Markdown |
| `/<section>/llms.txt` | The index of one section, for example `/components/llms.txt` |

## Writing GistUI Lang by hand

When an agent writes a program itself (a fixture, a test, an example), have it check its work:

```ts
import { library } from "@gistui/catalog";
import { parse } from "@gistui/core";

const r = parse(source, library);
// r.valid.strict:  no errors or warnings at all
// r.valid.lenient: every problem was repaired deterministically
// r.errors:        [{ code, stmtId, line, message, hint }]
```

The rules that matter most are in [Syntax](/docs/language/); the exact text a model receives is in [The full reference](/docs/language/reference/).
