# Commands

The first type of "Messages" that an Axon application is associated with are ***Command Messages (or simply Commands).*** This section of the reference guide intends to cover in detail the capabilities that the Axon Framework provides to help facilitate Command Message Development.

A summary of the various sub-sections is given below.
