# Getting Started

These docs are a comprehensive guide to the Agile protocol, based on the Agile Whitepaper [(Feb 2021)](https://agile.finance/documents/Agile.Whitepaper.pdf). The protocol is hosted on [Github](https://github.com/agilefinance/agile-protocol) and maintained by the community.

Please join the #development room in the Agile community [Discord](https://discord.gg/UDKRXMwP7s) server; our team, and members of the community, look forward to helping you build an application on top of Agile. Your questions help us improve, so please don't hesitate to ask if you can't find what you are looking for here.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.agilefi.org/getting-started.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
