- [Providers & Configuration](./configuration.md): Configure the Assistant, and set up different language model providers like Anthropic, OpenAI, Ollama, LM Studio, Google Gemini, and GitHub Copilot Chat.

- [Introducing Contexts](./contexts.md): Learn about contexts (similar to conversations), and learn how they power your interactions between you, your project, and the assistant/model.

- [Using Commands](./commands.md): Explore slash commands that enhance the Assistant's capabilities and future extensibility.

- [Prompting & Prompt Library](./prompting.md): Learn how to write and save prompts, how to use the Prompt Library, and how to edit prompt templates.
