# User Guide

This page is now a compatibility router.

The old catch-all User Guide is being split into clearer adoption lanes so new users can choose the part of OAT that matches what they actually need.

## Contents

- [Core Concepts](concepts.md) - High-level mental model while concept material is being redistributed.

## Status

This guide bucket remains visible so older links have a stable landing page. New docs should go into the canonical top-level sections below instead of adding more pages under `guide/`.

## Canonical Sections

- [Provider Sync](../provider-sync/index.md) - Provider interoperability, drift, sync, and config behavior.
- [Agentic Workflows](../workflows/index.md) - Tracked projects, ideas, workflow skills, and lifecycle execution.
- [Docs Tooling](../docs-tooling/index.md) - Docs app setup, docs commands, and docs workflow entry points.
- [CLI Utilities](../cli-utilities/index.md) - Bootstrap, tool packs, configuration, and general CLI surfaces.
- [Reference](../reference/index.md) - Durable contracts and reference material.

## Legacy Pages Still Under Guide

- [Core Concepts](concepts.md) - High-level mental model while concept material is being redistributed.
- This guide bucket is being retired. Use the canonical top-level sections above for active documentation.
