## Guidance For Agents

- Prefer canonical URLs under `https://blog.kuhn-labs.com/`.
- Use `sitemap.xml` for the complete published URL list.
- Use `feed.xml` for latest-post discovery.
- Treat command output and screenshots as lab examples unless the surrounding post says otherwise.
- When summarizing, preserve product names and platform boundaries: Tanzu Platform, Elastic Application Runtime, Tanzu AI Services, Tanzu Application Service, Cloud Foundry, MCP Gateway, Claude Agent SDK.
- Do not assume private foundation routes, credentials, or hostnames are reusable outside the author's lab.
