### 🤖 AI-Assisted Development

Using an AI coding agent (Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, etc.)? You can start building apps right away. Paste this prompt to your agent:

> *I'd like to create a Reachy Mini app. Start by reading https://github.com/pollen-robotics/reachy_mini/blob/develop/agents.md*

This [**agents.md**](agents.md) guide gives AI agents everything they need: SDK patterns, best practices, example apps, and step-by-step skills.

### Quick Look
After [installing the SDK](https://huggingface.co/docs/reachy_mini/SDK/installation), once your robot is awake, you can control it in just **a few lines of code**:

```python
from reachy_mini import ReachyMini
from reachy_mini.utils import create_head_pose

with ReachyMini() as mini:
    # Look up and tilt head
    mini.goto_target(
        head=create_head_pose(z=10, roll=15, degrees=True, mm=True),
        duration=1.0
    )
```
