**Agent-Reach documentation is maintained entirely within the Panniantong/Agent-Reach GitHub repository and includes the top-level README.md, the docs/ directory for installation and troubleshooting, and the agent_reach/guides/ folder for platform-specific setup instructions.**

Agent-Reach is an open-source automation framework that consolidates its documentation alongside its source code. Whether you are configuring credentials for social media platforms or troubleshooting connection issues, all **Agent-Reach documentation** lives in version-controlled Markdown files within the repository, ensuring every release ships with matching guidance.

## Main Documentation Entry Points

The documentation is organized into four primary locations, each serving distinct purposes from high-level overviews to detailed platform configuration steps.

### Root README and Quick Start

The [`README.md`](https://github.com/Panniantong/Agent-Reach/blob/main/README.md) file at the repository root serves as the primary entry point. It contains the project overview, installation steps, quick-start commands, and high-level CLI usage instructions. For international users, localized versions reside in the `docs/` directory as [`docs/README_en.md`](https://github.com/Panniantong/Agent-Reach/blob/main/docs/README_en.md), [`docs/README_ko.md`](https://github.com/Panniantong/Agent-Reach/blob/main/docs/README_ko.md), and [`docs/README_ja.md`](https://github.com/Panniantong/Agent-Reach/blob/main/docs/README_ja.md).

### The docs/ Directory

The `docs/` folder contains comprehensive guides covering installation and operational workflows:

- **[`docs/install.md`](https://github.com/Panniantong/Agent-Reach/blob/main/docs/install.md)** – Complete installation guide and dependency setup
- **[`docs/dependency-locking.md`](https://github.com/Panniantong/Agent-Reach/blob/main/docs/dependency-locking.md)** – Instructions for locking Python dependencies to ensure reproducible builds
- **[`docs/cookie-export.md`](https://github.com/Panniantong/Agent-Reach/blob/main/docs/cookie-export.md)** – Required reading for platforms like Twitter and Xiaohongshu that need browser cookie extraction
- **[`docs/troubleshooting.md`](https://github.com/Panniantong/Agent-Reach/blob/main/docs/troubleshooting.md)** – Diagnostic steps for common connectivity and authentication failures

### Platform-Specific Setup Guides

Located in `agent_reach/guides/`, these files provide step-by-step configuration for individual platforms. For example, [`agent_reach/guides/setup-twitter.md`](https://github.com/Panniantong/Agent-Reach/blob/main/agent_reach/guides/setup-twitter.md) walks through Twitter/X API credential configuration, while adjacent files cover Reddit, Xiaohongshu, Exa, and Groq integrations.

### Skill Reference Files

The `agent_reach/skill/` directory contains reference documentation used directly by the CLI, such as [`agent_reach/skill/SKILL_en.md`](https://github.com/Panniantong/Agent-Reach/blob/main/agent_reach/skill/SKILL_en.md). These files define the operational capabilities and command schemas available to the agent runtime.

## Source Code Documentation Structure

Beyond Markdown guides, the Python source files contain inline documentation and docstrings that explain the internal architecture. Key modules include:

- **[`agent_reach/cli.py`](https://github.com/Panniantong/Agent-Reach/blob/main/agent_reach/cli.py)** – Entry point for the command-line interface, handling argument parsing and command dispatch
- **[`agent_reach/core.py`](https://github.com/Panniantong/Agent-Reach/blob/main/agent_reach/core.py)** – Core routing logic that determines which platform channel handles a specific request
- **[`agent_reach/config.py`](https://github.com/Panniantong/Agent-Reach/blob/main/agent_reach/config.py)** – YAML-based configuration management and environment variable override handling
- **[`agent_reach/doctor.py`](https://github.com/Panniantong/Agent-Reach/blob/main/agent_reach/doctor.py)** – Diagnostic engine that verifies platform connectivity and token validity
- **[`agent_reach/channels/base.py`](https://github.com/Panniantong/Agent-Reach/blob/main/agent_reach/channels/base.py)** – Abstract base class that all platform channels (Twitter, Reddit, YouTube) inherit from
- **`agent_reach/channels/*.py`** – Individual platform implementations (e.g., [`agent_reach/channels/twitter.py`](https://github.com/Panniantong/Agent-Reach/blob/main/agent_reach/channels/twitter.py)) containing platform-specific search and interaction methods

## Essential CLI Commands and Usage Examples

The documentation references several diagnostic and operational commands. These examples assume you have cloned the repository or installed the package via pip.

Verify your environment configuration using the built-in diagnostic tool:

```bash

# Run the doctor command to check platform connectivity

python -m agent_reach.cli doctor

```

Configure platform credentials automatically from environment variables:

```bash

# Auto-configure environment variables for supported platforms

python -m agent_reach.cli install --env=auto

```

Execute a search operation on a supported platform:

```bash

# Search YouTube for "Python tutorials"

python -m agent_reach.cli search youtube "Python tutorials"

```

The search functionality is implemented in [`agent_reach/core.py`](https://github.com/Panniantong/Agent-Reach/blob/main/agent_reach/core.py), with each platform channel providing its own `search` method in files like [`agent_reach/channels/youtube.py`](https://github.com/Panniantong/Agent-Reach/blob/main/agent_reach/channels/youtube.py).
