# The guide your AI reads (https://lazyfrog.dev/docs/guide)

{/* Generated by scripts/generate-docs.ts from services/gateway/src/guide.md. Do not edit. */}

This is word for word what your AI gets from LazyFrog's `guide` tool, one section per page: the first few sections at the start of a session, the others as it needs them (before it adds a database, before it publishes). Reading it shows you what it knows.

LazyFrog hosts web apps that you build for your user. Each project has its own Linux workspace
(an isolated sandbox), its own PostgreSQL 19 databases and its own storage. You work through these
tools; the user does not need a terminal. A call is a tool name with JSON arguments, e.g. the
`project` tool with `{"action": "create", "name": "Crumb & Co", "template": "static-site"}`; the
guide writes that as `project create`.
