# Aphoria Guides
**Aphoria is an autonomous learning system powered by LLM workflows.** Choose your integration path:
---
## 🤖 I Want Autonomous Operation (Recommended)
**LLM-Driven Workflows:** Skills, agents, or custom integrations
**Claude Code Skills:**
- Load `/aphoria-claims` - Commit-time claim authoring
- Load `/aphoria-suggest` - Pattern-based claim suggestions
- Load `/aphoria-custom-extractor-creator` - Generate custom extractors
**Go ADK Agents:**
- See [ADK-Go Integration](../../../sdk/go/adk/) - Fully autonomous tool-use agents
**Custom Integration:**
- Any LLM with tool-use capability can drive Aphoria via CLI
**Why LLM workflows?**
- Enforce naming conventions (manual errors break tail-path matching)
- Reason about consequences (not just pattern matching)
- Suggest claims from patterns automatically
- Create extractors for custom patterns
- **Enable the autonomous flywheel** (scan→fix→evaluate→claim→create)
**The CLI is a debug/fallback interface.** For production use, integrate LLM workflows.
---
## 📚 I Want to Learn It (20 minutes)
**Worked Example:** Follow a complete use case from documentation → claims → violations → fixes
[Database Connection Pool Example](../../dogfood/dbpool/) - See how a solo developer:
1. Extracts 25-30 claims from HikariCP/PostgreSQL docs
2. Writes code (with intentional violations)
3. Runs Aphoria scan (catches all 7-8 violations)
4. Fixes violations incrementally
5. Reaches production-ready code
**What you get:**
- Complete claim extraction walkthrough with decision framework
- Pre-flight validator to check your environment
- Expected output examples for every command
- Real scan results showing BLOCK/FLAG/PASS verdicts
**Time:** 20 minutes to read, 5 days to execute (optional)
---
## 🚀 Fallback: No LLM Access (Debug Interface)
**CLI-Only Mode:** For environments without LLM access or debugging
**⚠️ Limitations:**
- Manual claim authoring (naming errors break tail-path matching)
- No autonomous flywheel (scan only, no evaluate/claim/create)
- Requires manual pattern analysis
## 🔧 I Want to Integrate It (30 minutes)
**Production Integration:** Pre-commit hooks, CI/CD, team workflows
See:
- [Pre-Flight Checks Guide](./pre-flight-checks.md) - Git hooks and CI integration
- [Enterprise Quick Start](./enterprise-quick-start.md) - Team deployment
- [Multi-Team Policy Governance](./multi-team-policy-governance.md) - Scaling to multiple teams
