+## GitOps Toolkit
+
+The GitOps Toolkit is the set of APIs and controllers that make up the
+runtime for Flux v2. The APIs comprise Kubernetes custom resources,
+which can be created and updated by a cluster user, or by other
+automation tooling.
+
+You can use the toolkit to extend Flux, or to build your own systems
+for continuous delivery -- see [the developer
+guides](https://toolkit.fluxcd.io/dev-guides/).
