# 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:

*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.*

# 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 by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://tutorials.clause9.com/intermediate/getting-started.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

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.
