AI Assistance

Enhance your Rete.js development workflow with AI-powered coding assistants. This section covers different approaches to integrate AI tools with Rete.js documentation and development patterns.

Quick Start

The fastest way to get AI assistance for Rete.js development is to use your AI-powered IDE's agent or command execution feature (available in Cursor, GitHub Copilot Chat, Windsurf, and similar tools). Simply ask your AI assistant:

prompt
Run npx rete-kit ai for [your intention]

Replace [your intention] with your actual goal, such as "learning Rete.js", "creating a new app", or "adding to my existing project". The AI agent will automatically determine the right tool and context options based on your description. This generates context-aware instructions for your IDE's AI assistant.

For manual usage or more details, see the Rete Kit AI documentation.

Available Options

Rete Kit AI

Best for: Automated, context-aware IDE integration

The npx rete-kit ai command (or rete-kit ai if installed globally) generates IDE-specific instruction files that provide contextually appropriate help based on your current situation:

  • Learning Rete.jsonboard context
  • Creating new appsboot context
  • Working with existing codedev context
  • Plugin developmentplugin context

Check out the Rete Kit AI guide for complete documentation.

LLMs.txt Integration

Best for: Manual integration with any AI tool

LLMs.txt provides Rete.js documentation in a format optimized for AI consumption. You can reference these URLs in your AI conversations or configuration files:

See the LLMs.txt guide for integration examples.

Which Should I Use?

  • Use Rete Kit AI if you want automated setup with context-aware instructions for your IDE
  • Use LLMs.txt if you prefer manual integration or need to reference documentation in AI conversations

Both approaches can be used together for comprehensive AI assistance.
