How to read these docs
Sally intentionally has both high-level explanation docs and implementation-backed reference docs.
- Use the product and install guides to understand the workflow.
- Use the API and MCP docs when you need exact request or auth behavior.
- When in doubt, trust the implementation in the Sally app itself.
