• Why xarray-spatial? – what the library does and how it differs from GDAL-based tools.

• Installation – Python and platform requirements, environment setup, and the optional dependency extras.

• Quickstart – a runnable first analysis on synthetic terrain, with no data download.

• Examples and data – the xrspatial command-line tool for downloading the example notebooks and sample datasets.

From there, the user guide has worked examples for every module, and the API reference documents each function.
