+Each file in `src/transformers/` default-exports one transformer and is picked up by its location. The `transformers` section of the spec turns it on by name. For a transformer made with `build(name)` that is the name passed to `build(...)`, which must match the file name with case and dashes ignored (`fix-finish.ts` and `fixFinish` match). For a plain-function export it is the file name:
+
+```yaml
+# spec/application.yaml
+transformers:
+  - name: fix-finish
+```
+
+### Hints and the AI assistant
+
+In a configurator with the AI assistant, the assistant is told the same hints: they arrive as
+`sideEffects` with the result of its changes and in the dry-runs of recipes and options, so it can
+tell the user what else happened. The hints also explain what the user changed between two messages:
+every message carries a change record of the configuration, and each of its lines ends with the hint
+of the last update that touched it, or with the `updateTag` when the update has none. Set `agentHint`
+beside `hint` when the assistant needs different wording, for example with ids or values a snackbar
+would not show:
+
+```ts
+phx.frontend.updates.DomainEntityModification({
+  entityId: oldPlate.id,
+  stateDelta: { finish: validMaterial.finish },
+  updateTag: 'fix.finish',
+  hint: msg`Material finish was adjusted`,
+  agentHint: `The finish of ${oldPlate.id} was changed to ${validMaterial.finish}, the only one this material comes in.`,
+})
+```
+
+- `agentHint` is a plain string, never shown to the user and not localized.
+- `agentHint: null` keeps the wording from the assistant while the user still gets the `hint`: the
+  update is left out of `sideEffects`, and the change record explains its line by the `updateTag`. It
+  does not hide the change itself, which the assistant can always read from the configuration.
+- `agentHint` without a `hint` tells only the assistant.

 ## Web Component Integration
 
-Admin functionality integrates through the configurator builder rather than requiring separate web component setup.
+Admin functionality is part of the same application as the configurator and needs no separate web component setup.
 
-### Configurator Builder Setup
+### Registering Admin Components
 
-In phx-cli projects, frontend entry is auto-generated in `.phoenix/`. Admin components are registered through `src/admin/components/`:
+The frontend entry is generated into `.phoenix/`, so a project never calls the configurator builder itself. Every file
+in `src/admin/components/` is picked up by its location and its default export is registered as admin components:
 
 ```typescript
 // src/admin/components/admin-components.tsx
-import { configuratorBuilder } from '.phoenix/frontend.js'
-import { customAdminOptics } from './optics.js'
-import { NotAuthenticatedPage } from '../pages/NotAuthenticatedPage.js'
-
-const config = configuratorBuilder
-  .withComponentOptics(customConfiguratorComponents)
-  .withAdminComponentOptics(customAdminOptics) // Register admin components
-  .buildConfig({
-    deploymentId: phx.runtimeConfig.DEPLOYMENT_ID,
-    persistence: {
-      type: 'server',
-      serverUrl: phx.runtimeConfig.SERVER_URL,
-    },
-    ui: {
-      notAuthenticatedPage: <NotAuthenticatedPage />, // Show when user not authenticated
-    },
-    // ... other config
-  })
+// ... customAdminOptics as defined in the example above
 
-phx.frontend.mountApplication(config)
+export default customAdminOptics
 ```
 
-Admin component files go in `src/admin/components/` and are automatically discovered by phx-cli.
+The page shown to a user who is not authenticated is an element. Create it with
+`phx.frontend.createNotAuthenticatedPage(...)` in a file under `src/elements/`.
 
 ### Built-in Admin Integration
 
 Phoenix automatically provides admin functionality when:
 
-1. Admin components are registered via `withAdminComponentOptics()`
+1. Admin components are default-exported from files in `src/admin/components/`
 2. Admin configuration exists in `phoenix.config.ts`
 3. User has admin session token

 The context includes data sources (session, published, frontend, backend), system services (domain access, component reader, projections), and application state (mode, role). Each part serves a different purpose in expression calculations.
 
+The SDK declares the context in two parts. `CoreExpressionContext` holds the mode, the role, the data sources, `domain` and `migrate`. `RuntimeExpressionContext` holds the component reader and the projections. An editor hover or a type error therefore shows `ctx` as `OpenExpressionContext<..., RuntimeExpressionContext<AnyDomainEntity>>`, which has the members listed above. A helper of your own that takes the context declares its parameter as `ExpressionContext` with the five types of your project.

 ### Configurator Modes
 
 The `mode` property indicates the current operational context of the configurator. Different modes enable different functionality and access levels. Expressions can check the mode to change their behavior.

+Show several options over the configurator and wait for your pick. It is built for coding agents: when a decision is a matter of taste, such as the edge of a table top, how glossy a finish is or where a control sits, the agent writes one file per option, you choose in the browser, and the command hands your answer back to the agent.
+
+```bash
+phoenix variants .phoenix/variants/table-edge --title 'Which edge suits the table?' --description 'Only the edge of the top differs.'
+```
+
+Every `<id>.variant.js` script or `<id>.html` page in the folder is one option, shown in file-name order. Each script edits frontend project files on top of the same captured baseline. Original is always the first choice and restores that baseline. Switching options removes the previous option's edits and applies the selected script; the editor dialog has any number of choices on the left and your already loaded configurator on the right.
+
+```js
+// .phoenix/variants/brand/blue.variant.js
+export const title = 'Blue brand'
+export const description = 'A blue primary colour with the current layout.'
+
+export default ({ read, write, remove }) => {
+  const file = 'src/handlers/theme.ts'
+  write(file, read(file).replace("main: '#E93335'", "main: '#2364aa'"))
+}
+```
+
+`read(path)` always reads the baseline. `write(path, contents)` replaces or creates a file; `remove(path)` deletes it. Scripts run in the browser and collect edits; Phoenix validates and writes the batch locally. Supported files are YAML under `spec/` outside `spec/admin/`, and TypeScript under `src/components`, `transformers`, `handlers`, `elements` and `_`-prefixed shared folders. Expressions, actions and invariants also run on the server, so a script cannot edit them.
+
+For standalone UI or branding proposals, write self-contained HTML files. Each page renders in its own iframe when selected; its `<title>` names the option and `<meta name="description" content="...">` describes it. HTML and scripts may share a set if their file names give distinct option ids.
+
+```html
+<!-- .phoenix/variants/brand/blue.html -->
+<!doctype html>
+<title>Blue studio</title>
+<meta name="description" content="A calm blue identity with generous spacing." />
+<style>
+  body {
+    margin: 0;
+    padding: 40px;
+    background: #f0f5fa;
+    color: #163b66;
+    font-family: sans-serif;
+  }
+</style>
+<h1>Made for your everyday.</h1>
+<button>Design your table</button>
+```
+
+Scripts run once per selection. The completed file batch calls the existing rebuild queue directly, without a separate file-change event stream or a watcher that reapplies the option.
+
+Use script options for controls, layout, brand, lights, visual effects, materials, positions, components, elements and transformers. Changes to the model, schemas, data or deployment settings are rejected before any files are written. Environment files, webhooks, their shared implementation dependencies, dependencies and uploaded assets cannot be overridden. Files connected through symbolic links are also excluded, so restoring the baseline preserves the original files. No server preparation or webhook rebuild runs for a variant transaction.
+
+Picking a script keeps its exact implementation in the project. Picking an HTML page returns the selected proposal for the agent to implement; the page itself changes no project source files. Choosing Original keeps the captured baseline. Users finish by confirming Original or another option. Escape stays available to the configurator, and clicking the backdrop leaves the comparison open. The agent can use `--close` to restore the baseline source files without giving an answer. Phoenix records recovery information on disk and restores interrupted previews at the next `phoenix dev` start. It never overwrites a file edited outside the preview: switching options over such an edit is refused, and when the comparison ends, or is restored at the next start, that file is left as it is with a warning in the dev log while the others are restored. Other source changes made while a comparison is open are rebuilt once it ends.
+
+Answers are held for four seconds with Undo and Send now.
+
+The command prints the outcome as JSON. After `chosen` it removes the folder:

+
+Known limits:
+
+- Variant transactions start rebuilding immediately, bypassing the normal file-watcher debounce. Hot reload still needs to parse and apply the updated implementation. There is no wait for UI or scene loading to settle; allow a visible transition to finish before judging or choosing.
+- Only one option is displayed at a time; simultaneous comparison is not supported.
+- For script options and Original, the dialog moves the existing configurator into the preview and returns it on close, preserving the loaded scene, camera and UI state. Opening the dialog starts no second application or initial loading screen. Configuration interactions still change the current configuration; restoring source files does not undo them.
+- Custom scripts are trusted project code. Their file API stages edits; scripts must not make network requests or other side effects.
+- Binary assets, CSS files, locale catalog changes, dependency changes and edits requiring a full application restart are unsupported.
+- Storybook `story-dev` has no variant previews. A project on the legacy pipeline has no variant previews; the command says so and exits.
+
+Generated projects carry the `phoenix-variants` agent skill, which tells coding agents when to offer options, how to write each kind and what to do with your answer.

The `phoenix`, `phoenix-cli`, `phoenix-feedback` and `phoenix-review` skills carry the SDK conventions, CLI tooling and review checklist, and the `phoenix-create-configurator` skill walks the agent from your product documents and assets to a reviewed configurator in five stages. Phoenix keeps them in step with the installed SDK, including the reference files inside a skill folder. During the internal beta, a project created from a canary build of the SDK gets one more section in the `phoenix` skill: once per conversation the agent checks for a newer canary and, after telling you, updates the project's SDK and runs `phoenix sync`. Other skill folders are never touched.
+Coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor) read the Phoenix agent skills. An `AGENTS.md` is yours to add for your own instructions; sync does not write one. The `phoenix`, `phoenix-cli`, `phoenix-feedback` and `phoenix-review` skills carry the SDK conventions, CLI tooling and review checklist, and the `phoenix-create-configurator` skill walks the agent from your product documents and assets to a reviewed configurator in five stages. The `phoenix-variants` skill has the agent show you several options over the dev preview when a decision is a matter of taste, and build the one you pick.

Other skill folders are never touched.
 
 Projects created by earlier SDK versions had this guidance in `CLAUDE.md`, `.cursor/rules/phoenix.mdc` and `commands/review.md`. Sync removes the SDK block from the first two, keeps your own text around it, deletes a file that held nothing else, and deletes the review commands; use the `phoenix-review` skill instead of `/review`.

-.withTransformers(ctx => [{ priority: 101, transformer: createSelectParentOnDeselectionTransformer(ctx) }])
+```typescript
+// src/transformers/select-parent.ts
+import { createSelectParentOnDeselectionTransformer } from '@salsita-ai/sdk/domain'
+
+export default createSelectParentOnDeselectionTransformer
+```
+
+Each file in `src/transformers/` default-exports one transformer and is picked up by its location. The `transformers` section of the spec turns it on by name. For a transformer made with `build(name)` that is the name passed to `build(...)`, which must match the file name with case and dashes ignored (`fix-finish.ts` and `fixFinish` match). For a plain-function export it is the file name:
+
+```yaml
+# spec/application.yaml
+transformers:
+  - name: select-parent
 ```
