Frequently Asked Questions

Where should I start if I am new to agent workflows?

Begin with the AI agents category to distinguish models, agents, harnesses, and workspaces. Then follow one workflow guide that matches the files and deliverable you actually work with.

How do I find an implementation guide rather than a product announcement?

Use the topic tabs to narrow the library, then read the description before opening an article. Look for a concrete task, inputs, execution steps, and verification; a release analysis may explain a capability without providing setup instructions.

Are model comparisons permanent recommendations?

Treat a comparison as a dated analysis. Provider access, model IDs, prices, and supported tools can change; check the article date and its linked sources before using it for a new purchasing or deployment decision.

What is the difference between this blog and the Skills Marketplace?

The blog explains concepts, experiments, and workflows. The Skills Marketplace organizes publishers, open-source projects, and Skills with their source links. An article may link to a project page when that project is part of the explanation.

Can I use these workflows outside Floatboat?

Many articles discuss general methods such as source checking, task boundaries, and deliverable review. Separate those methods from instructions that depend on a named product, connector, or execution environment.

How do I follow an article between English and Chinese?

Use the language switch on the article page to open its counterpart. Keep the underlying source links and publication context in view when comparing terminology; language choice does not change the release date being discussed.
