# Tutorials

Use this file for learning-oriented documentation that teaches someone how to use Marin.

## Assume This Reader

- Assume broad understanding of LLMs.
- Assume limited familiarity with Marin.
- Assume the reader is interested in learning Marin and willing to follow a guided path.

## Optimize For

- Help the reader build a working mental model of Marin while completing a concrete task.
- Reduce confusion for someone who does not yet know Marin terminology, structure, or conventions.

## Write This Way

- Include a doc-level TL;DR or quick-start orientation near the top for longer tutorials.
- Add section-level takeaway lines or short summaries when the tutorial has multiple major phases.
- Walk step by step.
- Explain why as well as what.
- Introduce Marin-specific terms before using them heavily.
- Prefer working examples over abstraction.
- Remove unnecessary jumps that force the reader to infer setup or motivation.
- Cite the relevant source material when it helps the reader understand why a workflow exists or where to go deeper, such as related docs, issues, reports, or papers.

## Test

- Ask whether an interested new Marin user could follow the tutorial without prior project-specific knowledge.
