 - `agents actor context clear` command to reset actor message history and
   state while preserving the underlying context directory via `ContextManager`
   (#6370).
+- **Quick Start Guide** (PR #9245): Added `docs/quickstart.md` with an end-to-end quick start guide covering prerequisites, installation, project creation, resource registration, plan/apply workflow, and troubleshooting. Updated `mkdocs.yml` navigation to include the Quick Start page.
 
 - **Plan checkpoint management CLI commands** (#8683): Added `agents plan checkpoint-list <plan-id>` and `agents plan checkpoint-delete <checkpoint-id>` commands. Listing output now highlights checkpoint ID, type, created timestamp, reason, phase, and decision linkage with a concise field summary footer across rich/table/json/yaml formats. Deletion supports batch IDs, interactive confirmation (skip with `--yes`), and structured JSON/YAML responses for automation-friendly scripting.
 - **Invariant Remove CLI Command** (#8530): Implemented `agents invariant remove <id>` command that soft-deletes an invariant by ID. The command displays a confirmation prompt before removal (bypassable with `--yes`/`-y`), outputs the removed invariant ID on success, and shows a clear error message when the invariant ID does not exist. Supports `--format` flag for JSON and YAML output. Full BDD test coverage and Robot Framework integration tests included.
