AI Coding Tools Integration🔗
AI coding assistants generate better content when they have project-specific context. Each tool reads a different configuration file at session start. EDA provides ready-to-use files for both, generated directly from the extractor source code.
-
llms.txt
Full AI context bundle hosted on the docs site. Use as a URL reference or Claude connector. Please copy and paste in our AI tool
-
CLAUDE.md
Context file for Claude Code (Anthropic). Drop it in your repo root — auto-loaded at session start.
-
AGENTS.md
Context file for Codex, Cursor, Aider and any tool supporting the AGENTS.md standard.s
Overview🔗
| Tool | Config file | Auto-loaded | Also read by |
|---|---|---|---|
| Claude Code (Anthropic) | CLAUDE.md |
✅ Yes | Claude Code only |
| Codex CLI / Agent (OpenAI) | AGENTS.md |
✅ Yes | Cursor · Aider · Builder.io |
Two files, not one
Neither tool reads the other's configuration file. If your team uses both Claude Code
and Codex, place both CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md in your repo root.
EDA ships both — they share the same core content.
Tool Compatibility🔗
| Tool | CLAUDE.md |

Setup in 3 Steps🔗
1. Download and place the file(s) in your repo root
Drop CLAUDE.md for Claude Code, AGENTS.md for Codex/Cursor, or both if your team
uses multiple tools. No other configuration is required — each tool picks up its file
automatically at session start.
2. Start your AI session as normal
Run claude or codex in your project directory. The tool loads the context file before
your first prompt. Verify it was read by asking:
"What EarthDaily does in mining?"
Where Files Live🔗
Depending on your setup, files can live in the extractor repo, in the client's project repo, or just as a hosted URL — they don't all need to be in the same place.
| Artifact | Lives in | Maintained by | Updated |
|---|---|---|---|
CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md |
Client's repo | Client (one-time copy) | On major EDA API changes |
llms.txt bundle |
EDA docs site | EDA CI pipeline | Automatically on every build |
| MCP connector | Claude settings | Each developer, once | Never — always live |
Info
The bundle is the single source of truth. The config files are lightweight wrappers
that reference it. Once the MCP connector is added to Claude settings, CLAUDE.md
becomes optional — Claude already has full context before the repo is opened.
