## Usage

Once connected, Cursor's AI features (Chat, Composer, and inline edits) can access your brand guidelines. This is useful for:

* Generating styles and design tokens that match your brand
* Writing front-end components using your exact color and typography values
* Getting brand-consistent copy suggestions directly in your editor

In Cursor's chat or Composer, ask questions like:

* *"Use our brand guidelines to create a Tailwind config with our color palette."*
* *"What typography scale does our brand use? Set up the CSS."*
* *"Build a header component following our brand guidelines."*
