Reference
Stable reference pages for definitions, verification methods, system models, diagrams, and site maps used across the site.
Use Reference when you need stable lookup material
Reference is for definitions, method pages, system models, diagrams, and site maps you consult while working. It is not the place for procedures, policy enforcement, or long-form analysis.
- Use Reference when you need a stable definition, a model page, a diagram, or a method page you want to revisit or cite.
- Use Guides when you need a runnable procedure.
- Use Policies when you need the rule set that constrains a run.
- Use Prompts when you need copy/paste prompt assets.
- Use Articles when you need explanation, context, or trade-off analysis.
