Add Start building: quickstart, agent skills, integrations, cookbooks

[andrewleesteele]

Summary

Second layer of the guides IA restructure (stack: #671 → #672 → #673 → #674). Adds the Start building section: Quickstart, Agent Skills, Integrations, Cookbooks.

• Quickstart (new): a grid of ways in (coding agent, SDK, REST API, CLI, MCP, skills, framework, cookbook), then two paths — hand it to your coding agent (copy prompt with a "what this prompt does" accordion) or write it yourself with an SDK (API key, install, create-and-drive in TypeScript, Python, and Go). Next steps at the bottom apply to either path.
• Agent Skills: a card grid listing every skill in kernel/skills, with the most installed first, and a pointer to native plugin installs.
• Integrations: a card grid replaces the long sidebar list. Sections follow what the reader is doing: add a browser to an agent you already use, build your own agent, computer use models, browser automation frameworks, credentials and payments, deploy, observability. Adds starter pages for Codex and the OpenAI Agents SDK, cards for OpenTelemetry export, e2e, and Docker Sandboxes, and logos for OpenAI, Yutori, OpenAGI, and Tzafon. The Foreman guide is removed in favor of its cookbook, with a redirect.
• Cookbooks: moves from its own tab into the Guides sidebar. Common patterns are reordered by importance, and the harness recipes are grouped under subheadings by type.
• /quickstart now redirects to the new quickstart.
• Integration, skill, and cookbook pages are reached from their grids rather than the sidebar; seo.indexing keeps them indexed.

Testing

• mint validate and mint broken-links pass on this branch.
• Copy prompt button checked on the deployed preview.
• The Go quickstart example compiles against the current kernel-go-sdk. The OpenAI Agents SDK example matches the installed openai-agents API but wasn't run end to end.

Note

Low Risk
Documentation and navigation IA only; redirects preserve old URLs. No runtime or API behavior changes.

Overview
Adds a Start building sidebar group in Guides (Quickstart, Agent Skills, Integrations, Cookbooks) and drops the standalone Cookbooks tab plus the long Integrations/Agent Skills nav trees—those pages are now hub grids under the new section.

Quickstart (start/quickstart.mdx) is new: an eight-way entry grid, a coding-agent copy-prompt path (full-width button via style.css), and SDK walkthroughs in TypeScript, Python, and Go. /quickstart redirects to /start/quickstart.

Integrations overview becomes a wide, task-based card hub (existing agents, build-your-own, computer use, automation, auth/payments, deploy, observability), with starter guides for Codex and the OpenAI Agents SDK, new integration icons, and removal of the Vercel Foreman page in favor of a redirect to /cookbooks/eve-foreman.

Agent Skills and Cookbooks hubs get card layouts; cookbooks reorder common patterns and split harness recipes into subsections (computer use, frameworks, hosted agents, sandboxes). Several overview pages get clearer titles (sidebarTitle where needed).

Stale Bugbot comment from a previous run.

[dprevoznik]

Codex is missing an icon here

[dprevoznik]

leaving some comments - great work!

[dprevoznik]

I'd just remove this guide. we have the cookbook already

[dprevoznik]

move browser use to browser automation framework section

[dprevoznik]

i think we can leave this video skill out of the docs

[dprevoznik]

missing a logo

[dprevoznik]

if possible i think we should get logos for these three as well. at least yutori

Cookbook search ignores new headings

Medium Severity

Harness recipes now sit under H3 groups, but CookbookSearch only toggles a section heading when the previous sibling is an H2. Filtering therefore leaves empty headings such as Harnesses & models and Computer use models on screen after cards are hidden.
