# Guides

URL: /start/guides · Id: `page:start/guides`

> Every task, titled the way a founder says it, in the order a new Startup meets it, then by the tab that holds what it builds.

Each guide is one ask: what you say, what you get, and the calls your agent makes. Its code window opens on what you say; pick API, SDK, CLI or MCP once and every guide keeps it.
