+# AI Contribution Guide
+
+- Follow the Drupal 10+ best practices documented in `README.md`, especially sections 2 (Site building) and 3 (Theming, templates).
+- Keep generated guidance tool-agnostic whenever possible; mention specific CLIs (drush, ddev, composer, git) only when necessary.
+- Prefer concise, actionable bullet points over long prose for skills, rules, and commands.
+- When writing validation scripts, fail fast if required tools (e.g., `drush`) are missing and provide clear messaging.
+- Do not introduce Drupal 7.x-only guidance.

+# AI Resources for Drupal Best Practices
+
+This folder contains AI-friendly assets derived from `README.md` (Sections 2 and 3) to help coding assistants apply Drupal 10+ best practices.
+
+- `AGENTS.md`: contributor guidance for AI-generated content.
+- `skills/claude-code-skills.md`: per-subsection skills aligned to site building and theming.
+- `rules/best-practice-rules.md`: tool-agnostic rules for any CLI or IDE integration.
+- `commands/commands.md`: slash-command triggers that map directly to best-practice sections.
+- `scripts/validate-site-building.sh`: drush-based checks for section 2 topics (nodes, blocks, taxonomy, etc.).
+- `scripts/validate-theming.sh`: drush-based checks for section 3 theming guidelines.
+
+Ensure the project uses Drupal 10+ conventions; Drupal 7.x-only rules are intentionally omitted.

+# Tool-Agnostic Rules for Drupal 10+ Best Practices
+
+Use these rules across AI coding helpers, CLIs, and IDE automations. They mirror `README.md` sections 2 and 3.
+
+## Site building (Section 2)
+- Machine names for bundles, fields, blocks, and views must be singular, human-meaningful, and free of suffix clutter (e.g., drop `_1`).
+- Prefer custom entities or block types over overloading nodes; create new bundles only for distinct display/logic needs.
+- Provide descriptions for content types, fields, and Views; document access via permissions rather than roles.
+- Reuse fields only when identical across bundles; set deterministic upload directories and avoid `gif` unless required.
+- Views should use content-based rows with view modes, explicit titles, tags, and non-AJAX defaults; disable unused displays.
+- Standardize on a single HTML format with CKEditor; keep admins aligned with author-capable formats and avoid insecure content via UI.
+- Model roles by persona with concise machine names; each module must declare its own permissions and expose dashboards tailored to roles.
+
+## Theming, templates (Section 3)
+- Use one-word machine names for themes without base-theme suffixes or the word `theme`; prefer Classy base or cloned contrib themes.
+- Follow Atomic design, SCSS, and common breakpoints; avoid panels-family modules.
+- Favor twig templates and preprocess functions for structure and classes; include key pages (404/403/maintenance/login).
+- Avoid styling based on path aliases or non-semantic classes; use functional prefixes (`twig-`, `js-`) and mixins instead of utility elements.
+- Override only necessary CSS/JS, comment mixins/functions, and organize templates by module/entity with minimal folder sprawl.
+- Support modern browsers per Drupal 10+ guidance; keep admin theme overrides minimal and core-focused.

+# Claude Code Skills for Drupal 10+ Best Practices
+
+These skills mirror the repository's best practices so Claude-based tools can deliver focused help per subsection.
+
+## 2. Site building
+
+### Skill: 2.1 Nodes
+- Enforce singular machine names for node bundles and fields; avoid conflicts or ambiguous prefixes.
+- Recommend custom entities or block types instead of using nodes for dynamic blocks.
+- Limit new bundles to cases with distinct displays or behavior; align view modes across types and document content type purpose.
+
+### Skill: 2.2 Blocks
+- Generate custom block types or plugins with concise machine names (no theme/region hints and no `block_` prefix).
+- Treat block fields and view modes like other content entities; prefer code-generated block types for stability.
+- Avoid hardcoding UUID-based blocks; use plugins for static blocks.
+
+### Skill: 2.3 Taxonomy
+- Use singular vocabulary names and reserve taxonomies for categorized pages rather than simple filters.
+- Prefer list fields for filtering-only needs and consider node references when authorization, fields, or displays are required.
+
+### Skill: 2.4 Other content entities
+- Apply node rules to paragraphs, media, comments, etc.; watch translation/revision behavior (especially paragraphs).
+- Name image styles generically (e.g., `large_wide`) instead of dimension-specific machine names.
+
+### Skill: 2.5 Fields
+- Advocate clear, reusable machine names: `field_[content_type]_[short_name]` for specific fields and generic prefixes for shared ones.
+- Require field descriptions, meaningful upload directories (avoid date-based defaults), and removal of `gif` unless necessary.
+- Encourage consistent prefixes when projects mandate them and reuse fields only when truly identical across bundles.
+
+### Skill: 2.6 Views
+- Normalize machine names (remove `_1` suffixes) and create one View per display when possible.
+- Use `Show: Content` with view modes, provide titles, descriptions, tags, access by permission, and no default AJAX.
+- Disable unused Views, supply "No results" text, and avoid blanket custom CSS classes.
+
+### Skill: 2.7 Forms
+- Recommend Webform for custom forms; use core Contact form only for minimal needs without stored submissions.
+
+### Skill: 2.8 Text formats and editors
+- Standardize on one HTML editor format with CKEditor, aligned buttons and allowed tags; avoid insecure content via UI.
+- Prevent role-based format hopping and keep admins aligned with authors' editable formats.
+
+### Skill: 2.10 Users, roles & permissions
+- Model roles by persona, avoid overpowered authenticated roles, and keep machine names short.
+- Ensure each module declares its own permissions with verb-led names; prefer Masquerade for permission testing.
+- Provide custom admin dashboards and limit duplicate admin accounts.
+
+## 3. Theming, templates
+
+### Skill: 3 Theming fundamentals
+- Use one-word theme machine names without `theme` or base-theme suffixes; prefer Classy base theme or cloned contrib themes without inheritance.
+- Align CSS with Atomic design, SCSS, and consistent breakpoints; avoid panels family modules.
+- Rely on preprocess functions and targeted twig templates (including 404/403/maintenance/login) instead of DB theme settings for teams.
+- Avoid path-alias-based styling and non-semantic CSS classes; use functional prefixes (`twig-`, `js-`) and mixins over utility elements.
+- Override only necessary CSS/JS, favor utility-first frameworks selectively, comment mixins/functions, and organize templates by module/entity.
+- Support modern browser guidance (Drupal 10+ drops IE11) and keep admin theme mostly core with light overrides.
