Cowboy docs and examples

Source for docs.cowboy.inc and the example actors that go with it. Cowboy is a Layer-1 for autonomous agents: Python actors run in a metered VM on validators, keep persistent state, schedule their own work, and call off-chain services (LLMs, HTTP, MCP, containers) through runners.

Directory	What it is
docs/	The documentation site (Mintlify). Start at docs/getting-started/quickstart.mdx.
examples/core/	The numbered builder curriculum: one actor per lesson, in order.
examples/gallery/	Product-shaped demos that combine the core patterns.
examples/README.md	Which lesson teaches what, and how to run the sweep.

Using the examples

Install the CLI, then run any lesson against the hosted devnet:

brew install cowboyinc/tap/cowboy
cowboy version

Each lesson directory has its own README with the exact commands. The runtime (node, runner, storage, secrets) is not in this repository; the CLI and the hosted network are the interface.
