Everything you need to build and run multi-agent systems with Jido - from your first agent to production deployment.

## Find what you need

**Want to build your first agent?**
Start with [Getting Started](/docs/getting-started) for installation, setup, and your first working agent.

**Want to learn step by step?**
Work through [Learn](/docs/learn) for progressive tutorials that build on each other.

**Need to understand how Jido thinks?**
Read [Concepts](/docs/concepts) for the mental model - agents, actions, workflows, signals, and how they fit together.

**Have a specific task to implement?**
Check [Guides](/docs/guides) for focused patterns like tool integration, state management, and multi-agent coordination.

**Contributing across the ecosystem?**
Go to [Contributors](/docs/contributors) for contributor-facing package standards, shared checklists, and release workflow expectations.

**Looking for exact APIs or config?**
Go to [Reference](/docs/reference) for complete API docs, configuration options, and architecture details.

**Preparing for or running production?**
See [Operations](/docs/operations) for deployment, monitoring, scaling, and reliability.
