+## Guides
+
+SpecLens can render a **Guides** section alongside the API reference. When guides are configured, a top-level tab bar appears in the header to switch between _API Reference_ and _Guides_.
+
+### External manifest (recommended)
+
+Create a JSON file that is an array of guide objects and point `guides-url` (or `guidesUrl` in `SpecLens.init()`) at it:
+
+```html
+<spec-lens spec-url="/openapi.json" guides-url="/guides.json"></spec-lens>
+```
+
+```json
+[
+  { "title": "Getting Started", "slug": "getting-started", "url": "/docs/getting-started.md", "category": "Basics", "order": 1 },
+  { "title": "Authentication",  "slug": "authentication",  "url": "/docs/authentication.md",  "category": "Basics", "order": 2 },
+  { "title": "Pagination",      "slug": "pagination",      "url": "/docs/pagination.md",      "category": "Advanced", "order": 1 }
+]
+```
+
+Each guide is fetched and rendered from its `url` (a Markdown file). You can also embed content inline by omitting `url` and providing a `content` string.
+
+### Guide object fields
+
+| Field | Type | Description |
+|-------|------|-------------|
+| `title` | string | Display title shown in sidebar and page header |
+| `slug` | string | URL-safe identifier — used in hash routing `#/guide/{slug}` |
+| `url` | string | URL to a Markdown file to fetch |
+| `content` | string | Inline Markdown content (takes precedence over `url`) |
+| `category` | string | Sidebar group name (defaults to _General_) |
+| `order` | number | Sort order within the category |
+
+### Inline guides via config
+
+```js
+SpecLens.init('#docs', {
+  specUrl: '/openapi.json',
+  guides: [
+    { title: 'Getting Started', slug: 'getting-started', content: '# Hello\nWelcome!', category: 'Basics' },
+  ],
+});
+```
+
+Inline guides and an external manifest can be combined — inline guides override on slug collision.
+
+## Ask AI
+
+Every operation header includes an **Ask AI** button that generates a structured Markdown prompt describing the endpoint (method, path, parameters, request body, responses) and opens it in ChatGPT or Claude.
+
+To hide the button, add the `hide-ask-ai` attribute:
+
+```html
+<spec-lens spec-url="/openapi.json" hide-ask-ai></spec-lens>
+```
+
+Or via config:
+
+```js
+SpecLens.init('#docs', { specUrl: '/openapi.json', hideAskAi: true });
+```
