How to use the Amos documentation with AI

This site provides the IBM SPSS Amos documentation - the online Help, the Programming Reference, and the User's Guide - as plain Markdown built for AI assistants. Equations are real LaTeX and figures are included. It works with Claude, ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and any assistant that can read a web page or a pasted file.

Option 1 - Give your AI the link (easiest)

Paste this into your AI assistant:

Read https://ai-docs.amosdevelopment.com/llms.txt and answer my question about Amos: <your question>

That file is an index of every chapter. A web-capable assistant will open it and then fetch whichever chapter answers your question. Tip: tools that don't browse the web on their own (some chat modes) won't fetch links - use Option 2 or 3 instead.

Option 2 - Upload a chapter (most reliable)

Open the documentation index and click the chapter you need.
Save the page (or copy its text).
In your AI assistant, attach the file (or paste the text) and ask your question.

Chapters are sized to fit comfortably in a single AI conversation. The User's Guide is chapters 11-13; the online Help / Programming Reference are chapters 1-10.

Option 3 - The whole manual in one file

For a single upload that contains everything, use llms-full.txt ( https://ai-docs.amosdevelopment.com/llms-full.txt ). It is large - if your assistant reports it is too big, use a single chapter (Option 2) instead.

Tips for better answers

Be specific - name the example, dialog, or fit measure (e.g. "Example 8", "RMSEA", "the Analysis Properties dialog").
Ask the assistant to quote the relevant section so you can verify it.
Equations are in LaTeX (e.g. $\chi^2$ ); ask for a plain-English explanation if you prefer.
AI answers can contain mistakes - check anything important against the documentation text.
