Guides

These guides are task-oriented. Start here when you know what you want to do but do not yet know which package, runtime hook, or editor surface is responsible.

Use this section when

  • you are wiring AXSG into a new application or tool
  • you need to choose packages instead of taking the umbrella install blindly
  • you are enabling hot reload, runtime fallback, or editor tooling
  • you need operational guidance rather than a conceptual explanation
