+## AWS Blocks integration
+
+If your project uses [AWS Blocks](/[platform]/build-a-backend/aws-blocks/) alongside Amplify, add steering rules so assistants follow the integration patterns — defining backend capability in `aws-blocks/index.ts`, authenticating with your Amplify Cognito pool, and calling the generated typed client instead of constructing requests by hand. This mirrors the `AGENTS.md` that `create-blocks-app` scaffolds into your project.
+
+The same guidelines work across assistants — use the file format your tool expects.

+- Define backend APIs, auth, and data in `aws-blocks/index.ts` using Building Blocks.
+- Use Building Blocks (`KVStore`, `DistributedTable`, `FileBucket`, etc.) for all persistence — never local files, in-memory arrays, or local databases.
+- Authenticate protected operations with `CognitoVerifier` and `requireAuth(context)`; it verifies the Amplify-issued Cognito token. Do not create a second user pool.
+- After changing the API surface, regenerate the client with `npm run blocks:generate-client`, then import and call the typed `api` (for example, `import { api } from 'aws-blocks'`). The JSON-RPC transport is invisible — do not build request payloads by hand.
+- Deploy and test Amplify and Blocks together with `npm run sandbox`.

 ## Tips for effective steering
 
 - **Be specific about imports** — Tell the assistant which packages to import from (`@aws-amplify/backend` for backend, `aws-amplify` for frontend)
