Meerkat is easiest to understand as a composable agent runtime with a practical product layer on top. You can approach it from any surface:Documentation Index

If you are new to Meerkat, a good concepts path is: Then branch into the systems you need:What each concept owns
| Concept | Main question |
|---|---|
Composability | What kind of product is Meerkat, and why do the surfaces behave like peers? |
Realms | What defines shared vs isolated state? |
Sessions | How does one conversation live, continue, and end? |
Configuration | How are runtime settings stored and updated? |
Providers | How are models resolved, selected, and capability-gated? |
Tools | How does the agent act on the world? |
Auth & bindings | Under what identity/credentials does the runtime talk to a provider? |
Memory & compaction | How does Meerkat handle context beyond one model window? |
Comms | How do long-lived agents exchange messages? |
Mobs | How does Meerkat coordinate multiple agents as one system? |
Scheduling | How does durable automation fire over time? |
Realtime | How does low-latency interactive transport fit into the session model? |
How the docs are organized
Meerkat’s docs are intentionally split by reader need, not by “beginner vs advanced developer”:| Section | What it should do |
|---|---|
Getting started | Get the reader to a first successful run and into the examples hub |
Concepts | Explain shared mental models first |
Guides | Help the reader accomplish a task or configure a system |
Examples | Show runnable patterns and learning progression across surfaces |
Reference | Provide exact contracts, inventories, and lookup material |
Architecture | Explain ownership, rationale, and deeper internal structure |
Operations | Cover release/distribution/operational workflows that are still part of real Meerkat usage |
