<SupportCTA />

Best for people who want to use agent tools and skills in daily life or real
work without becoming professional agent builders.

This is an orientation and tool-selection path for now. It is meant to help
readers understand where agents are useful, how to think about available tool
surfaces, and where to go deeper next. It is not yet a detailed setup or
tutorial track.

## Shared starting points

- [Environment Setup](/reading-paths/environment-setup): the shared local setup guide for
  trying the repo-owned starter code.
- [Workshops](/workshops): guided setup tracks for OpenClaw, local desktop agents,
  and skills.
- [Sample Projects](/reading-paths/sample-projects): the public guide to current example
  starters across the repo.
- [Practitioner Skills](/skills): installable Codex skill packages for local-first,
  repeatable daily workflows.

## Suggested sequence

1. [Deep Research Agents](/case-studies/deep-research-agents)
2. [Agents Vs Workflows](/foundations/agents-vs-workflows)
3. [Workshops](/workshops)
4. [Agent Platforms And Low-Code Builders](/ecosystem/agent-platforms-and-low-code-builders)
5. [Practitioner Skills](/skills)
6. [Agent Memory And Retrieval](/patterns/agent-memory-and-retrieval)
7. [Radar](/radar)

## What this path optimizes for

- Practical orientation before technical depth
- Faster understanding of where agents fit into real work
- Better tool and workflow selection

## Go deeper
