## 🚀 Quick Start

<Note>
  JavaScript examples assume a structured logger is available as `logger`. Replace with your preferred logger in production.
</Note>

<Steps>
  <Step title="Deploy Your First Agent">
    ```javascript theme={null}
    import { StateSet } from '@stateset/sdk';

    // Replace with a structured logger (Winston, Pino, etc) in production
    const logger = console;

    const stateset = new StateSet({ apiKey: process.env.STATESET_API_KEY });

    // Deploy a procurement agent
    const agent = await stateset.agents.create({
      name: 'ProcurementBot-01',
      type: 'procurement',
      capabilities: ['negotiate', 'purchase', 'track'],
      limits: {
        daily_spend: '10000.00',
        per_transaction: '1000.00',
        requires_approval_above: '5000.00'
      }
    });

    logger.info('Agent deployed', { agentId: agent.id });
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set Agent Parameters">
    ```javascript theme={null}
    // Configure agent behavior
    await stateset.agents.configure(agent.id, {
      procurement_rules: {
        preferred_suppliers: ['supplier_123', 'supplier_456'],
        max_price_variance: 0.05, // 5% above market
        delivery_requirements: '3_days',
        quality_threshold: 0.95
      },
      negotiation_strategy: 'balanced', // aggressive, balanced, conservative
      learning_enabled: true
    });
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Monitor Agent Activity">
    ```javascript theme={null}
    // Replace with a structured logger (Winston, Pino, etc) in production
    const logger = console;

    // Real-time agent monitoring
    const activity = await stateset.agents.activity(agent.id, {
      timeframe: '24h'
    });

    logger.info('Transactions', { count: activity.transaction_count });
    logger.info('Total spent', { totalSpent: activity.total_spent });
    logger.info('Savings achieved', { savings: activity.savings });
    ```
  </Step>
</Steps>
