These pages publish operator detail that search engines and agents can read without opening the repository: mod installation, anonymous Workshop commands, 35 agent skills, and standalone download checks.

Reference library

These guides live with the program source. Use them for the complete command options and the latest module-specific details.

Three things to check before following a guide

Module support: a module can be passed, enabled with authentication, enabled with operator-provided prerequisites, or disabled. Check the status and detailed notes before downloading large server files.

Runtime support: Docker and process support vary by module. Use doctor to inspect the resolved runtime.

Platform coverage: Ubuntu 24.04 is the full lifecycle validation baseline. Broader Linux, Windows, and macOS coverage is still developing.

Tutorials and video plans

Written guides are available now. A project introduction and a first-server walkthrough are planned around real terminal recordings. Download the video production brief (Markdown) for the storyboard, narration draft, recording requirements, and public production requirements.
