# AI-Assisted development

## Prerequisites[​](#prerequisites "Direct link to Prerequisites")

* [Node.js](https://nodejs.org) v22+ environment with `npm`
* Databricks CLI (v0.287.0 or higher): install and configure it according to the [official tutorial](https://docs.databricks.com/aws/en/dev-tools/cli/tutorial).
* A new Databricks app with AppKit installed. See the [Quick start](/appkit/docs.md#quick-start) for more details.

AppKit-specific agent skills for AI coding assistants are coming soon. This documentation will be updated with instructions when available.

In the meantime, refer to the LLM resources section below for guidance on working with AppKit in AI-assisted development environments.

## LLM resources[​](#llm-resources "Direct link to LLM resources")

AppKit provides specialized guidance files to help AI coding assistants work more effectively with the projects.

If you're building applications using AppKit packages, reference the `llms.txt` file. There are two ways to access the documentation:

1. Use the [hosted llms.txt file](https://databricks.github.io/appkit/llms.txt)
2. Use the `npx @databricks/appkit docs` command to view the documentation in the terminal.

```bash
npx @databricks/appkit docs # returns the llms.txt file content with all available documentation pages
npx @databricks/appkit docs <path> # for specific documentation file

```
