Using VS for high level programming and interacting with Bolt using C#

All of the tutorials I've found on youtube don't feature any info on the Bolt API and how you can interact with it in C# code.

In my instance I want to use VS to create simple events which only need to string a few functions together and wouldn't make sense to dedicate a whole class to. I've only seen people using Bolts as a component but I'd rather need to save these graphs into a dictionary which I can reference.

Can someone perhaps drop a few links to get me, and others that want to use VS at a higher level, can get started? Many thanks

 

Is this sufficient? https://docs.unity3d.com/bolt/1.4/manual/bolt-scripting.html

 

This is a good source, I forgot I had seen this at one point. The problem that's facing me is that Bolt seems to be a component only system. I don't find any way of running a flowgraph without binding it to an object in the scene using a component. considering how beefy the Bolt system is I can't believe they're limiting its use case like this. Do you know anything about this? Thanks for the resource btw.

I don't think this is possible. IIRC, last time I checked the source, Bolt is designed to run within the lifecycle of a GameObject.
