+# DGMO AI Integration Guide
+
+Use AI coding tools to generate `.dgmo` diagrams. This guide covers Claude Code, Copilot, Cursor, and other AI tools.
+
+## MCP Server
+
+`@diagrammo/dgmo-mcp` provides an MCP server that exposes DGMO rendering, sharing, and documentation tools. Works with Claude Desktop, Claude Code, and any MCP-compatible client.
+
+5 tools: `render_diagram`, `share_diagram`, `open_in_app`, `list_chart_types`, `get_language_reference`.
+
+Setup (Claude Code — add to `.claude/settings.local.json`):
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "dgmo": {
+      "command": "npx",
+      "args": ["-y", "@diagrammo/dgmo-mcp"]
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+See `dgmo-mcp/README.md` for full configuration options.
+
+## Claude Code — Skills
+
+Copy the `.claude/skills/dgmo-*` directories from this repo into your project's `.claude/skills/` directory. This gives you four slash commands:
+
+| Command | What it does |
+|---------|-------------|
+| `/dgmo-generate <description>` | Picks the best diagram type automatically |
+| `/dgmo-sequence <flow>` | Generates a sequence diagram |
+| `/dgmo-flowchart <process>` | Generates a flowchart |
+| `/dgmo-chart <data description>` | Generates a data chart |
+
+### Setup
+
+```bash
+# Copy skills into your project
+cp -r node_modules/@diagrammo/dgmo/.claude/skills/dgmo-* .claude/skills/
+
+# Or if dgmo is installed globally
+cp -r $(npm root -g)/@diagrammo/dgmo/.claude/skills/dgmo-* .claude/skills/
+```
+
+### Usage examples
+
+```
+/dgmo-generate an ER diagram for a blog with users, posts, and comments
+/dgmo-sequence the OAuth2 authorization code flow
+/dgmo-flowchart CI/CD pipeline with build, test, and deploy stages
+/dgmo-chart quarterly revenue: Q1 100, Q2 120, Q3 110, Q4 130
+```
+
+## Claude Code — CLAUDE.md snippet
+
+Add this to your project's `CLAUDE.md` to teach Claude about DGMO without installing skills:
+
+```markdown
+## DGMO Diagrams
+
+When the user asks for a diagram, generate a `.dgmo` file. DGMO is a text-based diagram language.
+
+Quick reference:
+- Sequence: `A -> B: message` or `A -message-> B`
+- Flowchart: `(Start) -> [Process] -> <Decision?> -yes-> (End)`
+- Bar chart: `chart: bar` then `Label: value` lines
+- ER diagram: `chart: er` then table definitions and `table1 1--* table2` relationships
+- Org chart: `chart: org` then indented hierarchy
+
+Full reference: see `node_modules/@diagrammo/dgmo/docs/language-reference.md`
+
+Render with: `dgmo file.dgmo -o output.svg` or `dgmo file.dgmo -o url` for shareable link.
+```
+
+## Other AI Tools — Prompt Files
+
+DGMO ships prompt files for popular AI coding tools. These are included in the npm package:
+
+| File | Tool | How it works |
+|------|------|-------------|
+| `.github/copilot-instructions.md` | GitHub Copilot | Auto-loaded in repos with this file |
+| `.cursorrules` | Cursor | Auto-loaded when present in project root |
+| `.windsurfrules` | Windsurf | Auto-loaded when present in project root |
+
+### Setup
+
+Copy the relevant file into your project root:
+
+```bash
+# From node_modules
+cp node_modules/@diagrammo/dgmo/.cursorrules .
+cp node_modules/@diagrammo/dgmo/.windsurfrules .
+mkdir -p .github && cp node_modules/@diagrammo/dgmo/.github/copilot-instructions.md .github/
+
+# Or from global install
+cp $(npm root -g)/@diagrammo/dgmo/.cursorrules .
+```
+
+Each file contains a condensed DGMO syntax reference with examples for the most common diagram types, all 29 chart types listed, rendering commands, and common mistakes to avoid.
+
+## Rendering
+
+If the `dgmo` CLI is installed, diagrams can be rendered:
+
+```bash
+# Install
+npm install -g @diagrammo/dgmo   # or: brew install diagrammo/dgmo/dgmo
+
+# Render
+dgmo diagram.dgmo                # PNG output
+dgmo diagram.dgmo -o output.svg  # SVG output
+dgmo diagram.dgmo -o url         # Shareable URL
+
+# AI-friendly JSON output
+dgmo diagram.dgmo -o output.svg --json
+dgmo --chart-types --json         # List all chart types
+```
+
+## Supported chart types
+
+Run `dgmo --chart-types` for the full list, or see `docs/language-reference.md`.
+
+29 types: bar, line, area, pie, doughnut, radar, polar-area, bar-stacked, scatter, sankey, chord, function, heatmap, funnel, slope, wordcloud, arc, timeline, venn, quadrant, sequence, flowchart, class, er, org, kanban, c4, initiative-status.
