# Human guides

Start with [Start here](../principles.md): its principles and AI-assistant
prompts are the entry for people. These guides are the detailed material the
assistants read and cite, and remain available to read directly.

The guides explain how to accomplish a task and recognize its result. They
are organized around what you want to do, rather than the implementation of
Studio or the Hub.

Read [Getting started](getting-started.md) first if the platform is new to you.
Then choose a workflow below. The App-development tutorial walks through a
synthetic garden showcase, from source descriptions to live interaction. The
[federal tax example](../examples/federal-tax.md) shows a complete workflow
interview.

| Guide | What it helps you understand |
| --- | --- |
| [Getting started](getting-started.md) | The role of Studio, the Hub, clients, Apps, and tasks. |
| [Try Libertas](try-libertas.md) | Sign in to the Libertas Cloud Hub, or run your own Hub (Incus or a server); then Studio. |
| [Using Studio](studio.md) | Connecting to a Hub, working with projects, validation, and deployment. |
| [Developing Apps](developing-apps.md) | A worked tutorial covering configuration, screen layout, protocols, reference contexts, live updates, localization, charts, and persistent data. |
| [Administration](administration.md) | Installed Apps, task creation, devices, and access permissions. |
| [Task controls](control.md) | Requests, confirmations, results, live information, and navigation. |
| [Charts and visual results](visualization.md) | Reading previews, opening full views, and understanding typed data. |
| [Chart gallery](chart-gallery.md) | Twenty 2D and twelve 3D examples, from trends and polar charts to surfaces and point clouds. |
| [Translation](translation.md) | Source text, locale selection, translation handoff, import, and persistence. |
| [Plaza](plaza.md) | Discovery, installation, developer identity, and publication. |
| [Troubleshooting](troubleshooting.md) | Locating a failure, preserving useful evidence, and correcting its cause. |

The [concept explanations](../concepts/index.md) provide background. Use the
[shared reference](../reference/index.md) when you need a precise contract,
and [examples](../examples/index.md) when you need a complete starting project.
