How-to Guides
How-to guides are for solving a specific problem. They are intentionally narrower than tutorials: you start with a goal, and the guide gives you the shortest dependable path to that outcome.
Common tasks

| Fetch data from an HTTP endpoint | How to fetch HTTP data |
| Show loading and failure states clearly | How to model loading and error states |
| Run work on a schedule | How to work with timers |
| Split code across files and exports | How to organize modules |
| Start a splash window and additional companion entries together | How to launch multiple entries |
| Use an OpenAPI spec as the source of truth | OpenAPI source guide |
| Survey the main built-in integration patterns | Integration patterns |
| Prepare, verify, and hand off a repository change | How to contribute |
When not to use a how-to guide
If you are still learning the basics of AIVI itself, start with Tutorials. If you need the exact rules or shipped surface, use Reference.
