# Guide — Explanatory Knowledge
## Purpose
A Guide provides clear, structured explanations of concepts, resources, or processes in the Nenjo platform. It answers “What is this?” and “How does it work?” so agents and users can understand the system.
## When to Use
- Explaining platform resources (Agents, Tasks, Routines, etc.)
- Teaching methodology, architecture, or best practices
- Creating onboarding or educational content
## When to Avoid
- Defining data structures (use Entity)
- Stating rules or policies (use Policy)
- Classifying things (use Taxonomy)
## Core Characteristics
- Narrative and explanatory tone
- Focuses on understanding rather than structure or rules
- Often includes examples and context
## Key Relationships
- `references` other Guides, References, or Domains
- `part_of` larger Domain documentation
## Agent Guidance
**Reference this block when:**
- A user asks “What is X?” or “How does Y work?”
- You need to explain a concept before diving into implementation
- Creating educational or onboarding material
## Adaptation Notes
Keep Guides concise and scannable. Use bullet points and clear sections. Avoid turning them into policies or data models.
