## How Pragmatiks Works

You define resources in YAML. Pragmatiks provisions them, tracks their state, and propagates changes through dependency chains automatically.

```yaml theme={"theme":{"light":"min-light","dark":"min-dark"}}
provider: agno
resource: agent
name: my-agent
config:
  model:
    provider: agno
    resource: models/anthropic
    name: claude
  instructions:
    - "You are a helpful assistant."
```

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"min-light","dark":"min-dark"}}
pragma resources apply agent.yaml
```

Resources reference each other through **dependencies** and **field references**. When an upstream resource changes, all dependents rebuild automatically.
