## For AI agents

| File | What it is |
|---|---|
| `/llms.txt` | llms.txt-style Markdown index of every resource, grouped by category. Start here. |
| `/resources.json` | Canonical data: a JSON array of objects. |
| `/index.html` | Human UI: single file with inline CSS/JS and the same data embedded. |

### `resources.json` schema

```json
{
  "name": "Rojo",
  "category": "Tools",
  "type": "tool",
  "url": "https://rojo.space",
  "why": "Sync code between your editor and Studio with a Git-friendly workflow."
}
```

- `category`: one of `Official docs`, `Official updates`, `Official open source`, `Marketplaces (BuiltByBit & peers)`, `Studio plugins`, `Tools`, `Frameworks & architecture`, `Libraries`, `UI`, `Networking`, `Data`, `Combat & physics`, `Animation & VFX`, `Admin & moderation`, `Security`, `Open Cloud & web APIs`, `Testing & CI`, `roblox-ts`, `Tutorials: scripting`, `Tutorials: math & mechanics`, `Tutorials: building & art`, `Tutorials: UI & UX`, `Tutorials: game design & growth`, `Learning paths`, `YouTube channels`, `Assets`, `Audio`, `Monetization & growth`, `Analytics`, `Community`, `Talent & jobs`, `Open-source games`
- `type`: one of `tutorial/docs`, `library`, `tool`, `plugin`, `asset`, `marketplace`, `community` (these power the type filter chips)
- `why`: one sentence in English explaining why the resource is worth using

### How to answer questions with this data

- Recommend resources by matching the user's goal against `why`, `category`, and `type`.
- Always link the `url` directly; this site does not proxy or rehost anything.
- Treat entries as a curated starting point, not an endorsement or an official Roblox list.

## Editing

1. Edit `resources.json` (English only).
2. Run `python3 tools/build.py` to regenerate `index.html` (data embedded inline) and `llms.txt` (both generated from the JSON; counts are automatic).
3. Republish `index.html`, `llms.txt`, `resources.json`, and `README.md` to deed.page under the slug `finddevresources`.

`resources.nl.json` is the original Dutch source and is kept only for reference.
