# Documentation

Four guides, start to finish. Or skip the reading and hand the whole thing to your AI.

- [**Quick start guide**](https://slates.video/docs/quick-start). Sign in to first export, in order. Every step you take the first week, with the settings that matter called out.
- [**Prompting guide**](https://slates.video/docs/prompting). What each model reads, what it quietly ignores, and the habits that waste credits. One section per model.
- [**Connect Claude & AI agents**](https://slates.video/docs/connect-claude). Point Claude Code, Claude Desktop, or Cursor at Slates so an agent can drive the app for you.
- [**Agentic Skills Pack setup**](https://slates.video/docs/skills-pack). Install the prompting skills library so your agent knows the craft, not just the controls.

> Every page on this site, plus the complete Slates manual, is available as one file at <https://slates.video/llms-full.txt>. Paste it into any LLM to ask questions about Slates.
