# ACE documentation

ACE's public documentation is intentionally small and user-facing:

- [Architecture](architecture.md) — how the reasoning engine and supported boundaries fit
  together.
- [Capability maturity](capability-maturity.md) — what is supported in 0.1.x and what remains
  experimental.
- [Model providers](providers.md) — provider configuration and routing expectations.
- [Clean-user onboarding trial](onboarding-trials.md) — measure time to first useful result,
  recovery, and independence from maintainer help.
- [R1 onboarding evidence](r1-onboarding-evidence.md) — the reconciled macOS/Linux trial results,
  observed friction, fixes, verification, passing activation outcomes, and explicit limitations.
- [R2 release evidence](r2-release-evidence.md) — the focused 0.1.1 scope, clean installed-artifact
  checks, archive inspection, verification results, public release gates, and limitations.
- [Build your first extension](build-your-first-extension.md) — the practical extension path.
- [Extension API](extension-api.md) — contracts available to extension authors.
- [Governance](governance.md) — project decisions, compatibility, support, and contributions.
- [ACE Public Roadmap](https://github.com/orgs/augmented-cognition-engine/projects/1) — live
  Now/Next/Later status.
- [Versioned roadmap](../ROADMAP.md) — public outcome definitions and planning principles.

The root [README](../README.md) is the installation and quickstart authority. User-visible release
changes live in the [changelog](../CHANGELOG.md). Security reports follow the
[security policy](../SECURITY.md).
