Section titled “AI-native by default”

Every page is also available as raw markdown for AI agents:

  • llms.txt — agent-readable site index
  • llms-full.txt — full content dump (6080 lines)
  • <page>.md — every page has a .md twin (e.g. /foundations/color.md)
  • <meta name="actian-ds-*"> — slug, source, version, schema on every page

Designed for Claude Code, Cursor, and skill-based agents to consume the system without scraping HTML.
