# Reference

Reference pages are for lookup. Use this section when you need commands,
configuration fields, API signatures, defaults, or benchmark data.

## User-Facing Reference

- [CLI Reference](../tutorials/cli_reference.md)
- [Configuration Reference](../tutorials/configuration.md)
- [Comparison and Plotting Reference](analysis_comparison_reference.md)
- [Benchmarks](../tutorials/benchmarks.md)

## API Reference

- [API Overview](../api/overview.rst)
- [Configuration API](../api/config.md)
- [Builders API](../api/builders.md)
- [Simulation API](../api/simulation.md)

If you need a concrete task solution, go to [How-To Guides](../how_to/index.md).

<!-- IMAGE OPPORTUNITY: Add a compact module map that groups config, builders,
simulation, workflow, analysis, and compare as a reference navigation aid. -->
