<!-- gyre docs: expanded Markdown of reference/index.md (generated tables, verification numbers and chart data are written out). Base level of this page: L2 Practice; passages at another level are bracketed by 'begin level N' / 'end level N' comments and start with [LN Name]. Built from revision ceb1f4b0be. -->

The tables on these pages are produced at build time from the code that is deployed, so they cannot drift.

- [Case schema](case-schema.md) (L2 Practice): Every field of the case specification with its type, default and, where the model carries one, a description — generated from the pydantic model that validates it. Fields whose description cell is empty are explained in the Cases guide.
- [Command-line reference](cli.md) (L2 Practice): Every `gyre` sub-command with its options, generated from the program itself.
- [REST API reference](rest-api.md) (L2 Practice): All endpoints of the service, generated from its OpenAPI description. The live, interactive version is served by every deployment at /api/docs.
- [MCP tool reference](mcp-tools.md) (L2 Practice): The tools, resources and prompts the agent interface exposes, generated from the server definition.
- [Glossary](glossary.md) (L1 Essentials): Short definitions of the terms used across this documentation, with pointers to where each is explained.
- [Bibliography](bibliography.md) (L2 Practice): The literature Gyre's methods come from, grouped by topic.
- [Authoring guide](authoring.md) (L2 Practice): How to write pages for this site: front matter, the four depth levels, callouts, mathematics, code, tabs, charts, tables, status badges, the field viewer and diagrams. Every feature is shown live on this page.
