# Trickest Platform Documentation

## Start here

Trickest connects tools and scripts into workflows. A run executes a workflow and records its results. Start with an existing workflow, then inspect its output before building your own.

<Note>
  **On the Community plan?** Connect an active self-hosted machine before running
  workflows. To use the agent, also connect a verified model provider key. These
  are separate requirements: a model key is not required to run a workflow
  without the agent. See [Community setup](/docs/key-concepts/community-plan).
</Note>

## Run your first workflow

1. [Copy a workflow from the Library](/docs/using-the-app/workflow-and-executions/using-workflows-from-the-library) into your workspace. You can change your copy without changing the Library version.
2. [Review its inputs and configuration](/docs/using-the-app/workflow-and-executions/building-and-debugging-a-workflow#2-configure-and-run-a-single-node). Provide the values and files needed for your task.
3. [Run the workflow](/docs/using-the-app/workflow-and-executions/executing-and-scheduling-workflows) on an available fleet.
4. [Inspect the run](/docs/using-the-app/workflow-and-executions/working-with-runs). Check the status and node outputs to confirm the result before using it.
