# User Guide

The user guide explains Monata as a circuit-design framework, not as a
collection of simulator manuals. Read it in order if you are new to Monata:
each chapter follows the same path a design takes through the framework.

```text
LibraryRegistry -> Library -> Cell -> View
    -> models and backend
    -> SimTask and Executor
    -> SimResult
    -> measurements and specs
    -> sweeps, corners, Monte Carlo, optimization
```

Use the toolchain and reference sections when you need backend-specific
details about ngspice, deferred backends, BSIM, or model
compatibility.
