# Runnable examples

> Learn one Rigbox capability at a time with a complete application.

Each example includes application source and a `rig.yaml`. Start with the first app, then choose the capability you need. Run examples in isolated workspaces and remove them when finished.

Use the v0.13 CLI and the linked examples revision. Manifest validation does not replace checking the deployed application’s health.
