Best for engineers who want to design and build professional agent
applications.

## Shared starting points

* [Environment Setup](./environment-setup.mdx): the shared local setup guide for
  running starter-code checks before deeper implementation work.
* [Sample Projects](./sample-projects.mdx): the public guide to current example
  starters and where they live in the repo.

## Suggested sequence

2. [History Of Agent Ideas](../foundations/history-of-agent-ideas.mdx)
3. [LLM Foundations For Agent Systems](../foundations/llm-foundations-for-agent-systems.mdx)
4. [Agents Vs Workflows](../foundations/agents-vs-workflows.mdx)
5. [Reasoning And Control Patterns](../patterns/reasoning-and-control-patterns.mdx)
6. [Planning And Reflection](../patterns/planning-and-reflection.mdx)
7. [Agent Memory And Retrieval](../patterns/agent-memory-and-retrieval.mdx)
8. [Agent Runtime Building Blocks](../patterns/agent-runtime-building-blocks.mdx)
9. [Context Engineering](../systems/context-engineering.mdx)
10. [Protocols And Interoperability](../systems/protocols-and-interoperability.mdx)
11. [Evaluation And Observability](../systems/evaluation-and-observability.mdx)
12. [Deep Research Agents](../case-studies/deep-research-agents.mdx)
13. [Agent Frameworks](../ecosystem/agent-frameworks.mdx)
14. [Agent Platforms And Low-Code Builders](../ecosystem/agent-platforms-and-low-code-builders.mdx)
15. [Radar](../radar/index.mdx)

## What this path optimizes for

* Reusable implementation patterns
* Production-minded system design
* Concrete examples that connect ideas to real builds
* Comparative awareness of tools and platforms
