+# AI contribution guide
+
+These instructions summarize the Drupal 10+ best practices from `README.md` for any AI-assisted changes inside the `ai/` folder.
+
+- Prioritize the guidance from **2. Site building** and **3. Theming, templates**. Avoid any Drupal 7.x-only rules.
+- Use clear machine names and avoid multi-word theme names; keep everything human-readable and concise.
+- Keep recommendations aligned with current Drupal core tooling (composer, drush, ddev) and avoid deprecated workflows.
+- Ensure scripts and prompts reinforce configuration over content, avoid hardcoded UUIDs, and respect configuration sync.
+- Keep the output concise and actionable so it can be applied from CLI tools or code editors.

+# AI Helpers for Drupal Best Practices
+
+This folder provides AI-friendly outputs derived from `README.md` sections **2. Site building** and **3. Theming, templates** for Drupal 10+ projects.
+
+- `AGENTS.md` – scope rules for AI-written assets in this folder.
+- `claude-code-skills.md` – per-subsection skills for Claude Code.
+- `rules.md` – generic rules for any CLI/editor AI.
+- `commands.md` – slash commands mapping to the relevant README sections.
+- `scripts/*.sh` – drush-based validators for subsections (nodes, blocks, taxonomy, fields, views, text formats, theming).
+
+Run validators from a bootstrapped Drupal site, e.g.
+
+```bash
+./ai/scripts/validate-nodes.sh
+```

+# Claude Code Skills for Drupal Best Practices
+
+Use these skills to guide Claude Code when assisting Drupal 10+ work. Each skill maps to README sections.
+
+## 2.1 Nodes
+- Ensure content types use singular names and human-friendly machine names without special characters.
+- Create bundles only when display or functionality differs; keep revisions only where workflows require them.
+- Prefer shared, generic view modes and document each bundle with a description.
+
+## 2.2 Blocks
+- Create custom block types or plugins in code with clean machine names (no region info, no `block_` prefix).
+- Treat block fields and view modes like node bundles and avoid hardcoded UUID-driven blocks.
+
+## 2.3 Taxonomy
+- Keep vocabulary names singular; use taxonomy for categorization pages, not simple filtering.
+- Consider entity references when authorization, fields, or displays exceed taxonomy needs.
+
+## 2.4 Other content entities
+- Apply node conventions to media, paragraphs, and comments; watch translation handling for paragraphs.
+- Use concise, reusable image style names that describe intent rather than dimensions.
+
+## 2.5 Fields
+- Name shared fields generically and specific fields with entity context using `field_[bundle]_[short]`.
+- Add descriptions, reuse fields only when invariant, and set meaningful file directories; drop `gif` unless required.
+
+## 2.6 Views
+- Normalize machine names (remove `_1` suffix), titles, tags, and admin descriptions for every display.
+- Favor separate Views per display, render entities via view modes, avoid blanket CSS classes and default Ajax.
+- Require permission-based access controls and clear "No results" text.
+
+## 2.7 Forms
+- Default to the Webform module for custom forms; reserve core Contact only for simple single-form cases.
+
+## 2.8 Text formats and editors
+- Standardize on a single HTML format using CKEditor; align buttons with allowed tags and limit format switching.
+- Keep insecure content out of WYSIWYG and ensure admin formats mirror author access when possible.
+
+## 3. Theming, templates
+- Use one-word theme machine names without `theme` or base-theme prefixes; favor twig and atomic design patterns.
+- Add classes via preprocess in `.theme`, cover special templates (404/403/maintenance/login), and keep overrides minimal.
+- Prefer Classy as a base; if using contrib themes, decouple machine names. Use SCSS, meaningful breakpoints, and semantic class prefixes (`twig-`, `js-`).
+- Avoid styling by path aliases, comment mixins/functions, and split SCSS by responsibility (entities, variables, etc.).

+# AI Commands for Drupal Best Practices
+
+Use these slash commands in chat-based tools to pull focused guidance from README sections 2 and 3.
+
+- `/drupal-best-practices-nodes` → Section 2.1 Nodes: singular bundles, minimal revisions, generic view modes, human-readable machine names.
+- `/drupal-best-practices-blocks` → Section 2.2 Blocks: code-driven block types/plugins, clean machine names, no UUID-bound blocks.
+- `/drupal-best-practices-taxonomy` → Section 2.3 Taxonomy: singular vocabularies, use for categorization pages, prefer lists or references for filtering/authorization needs.
+- `/drupal-best-practices-entities` → Section 2.4 Other content entities: reuse node conventions for media/paragraphs/comments; translation awareness.
+- `/drupal-best-practices-fields` → Section 2.5 Fields: `field_[bundle]_[short]` naming, descriptions, reuse rules, image directory conventions, avoid `gif`.
+- `/drupal-best-practices-views` → Section 2.6 Views: display-per-view, admin metadata, view modes, permission access, no default Ajax, empty-state text.
+- `/drupal-best-practices-forms` → Section 2.7 Forms: default to Webform, reserve core Contact for single lightweight forms.
+- `/drupal-best-practices-text-formats` → Section 2.8 Text formats and editors: single HTML format, CKEditor, aligned buttons/tags, limited switching.
+- `/drupal-best-practices-theming` → Section 3 Theming, templates: one-word theme names, twig-first, preprocess classes, minimal overrides, SCSS with shared breakpoints, semantic class prefixes.

+# AI-Agnostic Rules for Drupal Best Practices
+
+Apply these Drupal 10+ rules across any CLI/editor tooling. They mirror README sections 2 and 3.
+
+- **Machine names:** Use single words without prefixes or suffixes tied to regions/themes; avoid collisions and keep them human-readable.
+- **Content modeling (2.1–2.5):** Favor fewer bundles, singular labels, documented descriptions, and reusable fields with clear `field_[bundle]_[short]` naming. Treat blocks, taxonomies, media, and paragraphs with the same discipline and avoid hardcoded UUID content.
+- **Views (2.6):** One view per display when possible, explicit admin metadata, permission-based access, entity view mode rendering, non-Ajax by default, and clear empty states.
+- **Forms (2.7):** Default to Webform; core Contact only for trivial single-form needs.
+- **Text formats (2.8):** Standardize on one HTML format using CKEditor; align toolbar buttons with allowed tags and restrict switching formats.
+- **Theming (3):** One-word theme machine names without `theme` suffixes or base-theme coupling, atomic/twig-first approach, preprocess for classes, minimal overrides, SCSS with shared breakpoints, semantic class prefixes (`twig-`, `js-`), and avoid styling by path aliases.
+- **Tooling:** Prefer composer, drush, and ddev for automation; keep guidance compatible with config synchronization and current Drupal core support.
