+- **Core server API**: [`chatkit.server`](server.md) – `ChatKitServer` and related helpers for receiving messages, streaming responses, and wiring up tools and widgets.
+- **Store integration**: [`chatkit.store`](store.md) – interfaces and utilities for persisting threads, items, and metadata.
+- **Agents integration helpers**: [`chatkit.agents`](agents.md) – helpers and utilities for using ChatKit together with the Agents SDK.
+- **Data models and types**: [`chatkit.types`](types.md) – Pydantic models for threads, items, events, and other shared types.
+- **Errors**: [`chatkit.errors`](errors.md) – structured error types your ChatKit integration can raise so ChatKit can emit consistent `ErrorEvent`s to the client.
+- **Widgets**: [`chatkit.widgets`](widgets.md) – models and helpers such as `WidgetTemplate`, `DynamicWidgetRoot`, and `BasicRoot` for building rich UI responses.

 ## Thread metadata updates
 
 ChatKitServer emits these after it creates a thread or notices metadata changes (title, status, etc.) so the UI stays in sync.

 ## Thread item events
 
 Thread item events drive the conversation state. ChatKitServer processes these events to persist conversation state before streaming them back to the client.
 
-- [`ThreadItemAddedEvent`](../../api/chatkit/types/#chatkit.types.ThreadItemAddedEvent): introduce a new item (message, tool call, workflow, widget, etc).
-- [`ThreadItemUpdatedEvent`](../../api/chatkit/types/#chatkit.types.ThreadItemUpdatedEvent): mutate a pending item (e.g., stream text deltas, workflow task updates).
-- [`ThreadItemDoneEvent`](../../api/chatkit/types/#chatkit.types.ThreadItemDoneEvent): mark an item complete and persist it.
-- [`ThreadItemRemovedEvent`](../../api/chatkit/types/#chatkit.types.ThreadItemRemovedEvent): delete an item by id.
-- [`ThreadItemReplacedEvent`](../../api/chatkit/types/#chatkit.types.ThreadItemReplacedEvent): swap an item in place.

+- [`ThreadItemReplacedEvent`](../api/chatkit/types.md#chatkit.types.ThreadItemReplacedEvent): swap an item in place.
 
 Note: `ThreadItemAddedEvent` does not persist the item. `ChatKitServer` saves on `ThreadItemDoneEvent`/`ThreadItemReplacedEvent`, tracks pending items in between, and handles store writes for all `ThreadItem*Event`s.
