# Clavisco Design System — Agent Instructions

This site distributes the canonical CSS of the Clavisco Design System.
Consumer apps keep a **committed copy** of the CSS; they never hot-link it.

## Check the current version

    curl -fsSL https://cl-design-system.clavisco.com/version.json

Compare `version` against the consumer's local marker (Rails apps: `vendor/ds-styles/VERSION`).

## Update a consumer app (Rails / Propshaft convention)

    curl -fsSL https://cl-design-system.clavisco.com/styles/latest/tokens.css -o vendor/ds-styles/tokens.css
    curl -fsSL https://cl-design-system.clavisco.com/styles/latest/components.css -o vendor/ds-styles/components.css
    curl -fsSL https://cl-design-system.clavisco.com/version.json | grep -Eo '[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+' > vendor/ds-styles/VERSION

Then commit the three files. Never edit these files by hand — changes belong in the DS repo.
Pinned versions are available at `/styles/v<X.Y.Z>/…`.

## Component reference

Every component has an HTML page and a markdown twin. Fetch the `.md` twin:

    curl -fsSL https://cl-design-system.clavisco.com/components/<name>.md

Available: see /llms.txt for the full list. Copy the markup verbatim; classes are `.cl-*`.

## Rules for consumers

- Prefer `.cl-*` classes over raw utility CSS; never override `.cl-*` styles inline.
- Theming: set `data-theme="light|dark"` and `data-palette="royal|indigo|slate"` on `<html>`.
- Rails apps wanting ViewComponents/helpers instead of raw CSS: use the `clavisco-ds` gem (see repo README).
