API Reference Strategy
Manual chapters provide narrative and recipes.
This split between narrative manual content and detailed tool references is intentional. Conceptual chapters answer workflow questions (what to do and why), while reference docs answer contract questions (exact parameters and return shape). Keeping these concerns separate improves readability without sacrificing precision.
Tool-by-tool parameter references remain in:
TOOLS.mddocs/tools_*.md
Reference Boundaries
- This manual explains concepts, patterns, and end-to-end examples.
- Tool parameter completeness lives in
TOOLS.mdand category tool docs. - Type signatures and IntelliSense details are reflected in package typing assets.
Navigation
- Discovery and execution patterns: Environment and Discovery
