# Getting started

Welcome back to another Clause9 tutorial!

In the following tutorial, we will be updating and augmenting the consultancy agreement we completed in the last tutorial series based on a new version of the source document.

{% hint style="info" %}
If you haven’t gotten around to the basic clause author tutorial, check it out [here](/basic/getting-started.md)!
{% endhint %}

Here’s what you need to get started:

{% file src="/files/zkOVLKL5hTmj7oPLmXks" %}
*This is a crucial one-page cheat sheet that contains a summary of all the special symbols used to draft intelligent clauses. Keep it handy at all times!*
{% endfile %}

{% file src="/files/WsdbaT1QkZDePewHGZGF" %}
*This is the new and improved version of the consultancy agreement you automated previously.*
{% endfile %}

# 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://tutorials.clause9.com/intermediate/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.
