# AI Development 🤖

## Overview

We're big fans of using AI tools for development - when done safely. We've created two context files to help AI coding assistants understand our API and generate accurate code.

## Context Files

[**llms.txt**](https://docs.cardscan.ai/llms.txt) - Table of contents for quick navigation\
[**llms-full.txt**](https://docs.cardscan.ai/llms-full.txt) - Complete API documentation and examples

Use `llms.txt` when you need to find something quickly. Use `llms-full.txt` when implementing features or debugging.

## Additional Resources

* [**OpenAPI Spec**](https://github.com/CardScan-ai/api-clients/blob/main/openapi.yaml) - For generating clients in any language
* [**API Clients**](https://github.com/CardScan-ai/api-clients) - Official client libraries for TypeScript, Python, Swift, Kotlin, and Dart
