# User Guide

> **Status:** Initial migration active. The quickstart is current; additional user pages remain to be migrated.

This book is the canonical home for end-user workflows, user-visible behavior, product concepts, and user troubleshooting. Keep installation, deployment, security controls, and recovery procedures in [`ADMIN-GUIDE/`](../ADMIN-GUIDE/); keep implementation detail in [`DEVELOPER-GUIDE/`](../DEVELOPER-GUIDE/).

## Start here

- [Documentation atlas](../README.md) — placement rules and source-of-truth boundaries.
- [Documentation sitemap](../SITEMAP.md) — existing navigation is transitional and still contains legacy paths.
- [Quickstart](getting-started/quickstart.md) — install Mosaic, complete setup, and launch a session.

## Chapter map

| Chapter            | Scope                                                         | Status                                               |
| ------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- |
| `getting-started/` | First-use setup, orientation, and quickstarts.                | Quickstart is current; additional pages are planned. |
| `concepts/`        | User-facing terminology, product concepts, and mental models. | Scaffold only.                                       |
| `workflows/`       | Task-oriented procedures for using Mosaic Stack.              | Scaffold only.                                       |
| `troubleshooting/` | User-visible failures, diagnostics, and fixes.                | Scaffold only.                                       |

### Current pages

- [Quickstart](getting-started/quickstart.md) — the verified installed-CLI first-use path.

Every promoted page must be added to this index and to [`SITEMAP.md`](../SITEMAP.md) in the same migration slice.

## Migration backlog — not current navigation

These are source candidates, not current user guidance:

- [`_old_structure/guides/user-guide.md`](../_old_structure/guides/user-guide.md) — historical source; verify every claim before promotion.
  The former root `QUICKSTART.md` was an empty placeholder and has been replaced by the current page above.

Do not link to the quarantine as a current user path. Create a new page only after classifying its audience, status, and evidence in the migration report.

## Authoring boundary

New user-facing documentation belongs under one of the chapter directories above. Use a lowercase kebab-case page name, state whether commands are current or held, and link back to this index plus related canonical sources.
