If you would like to contribute, I would appreciate it a ton, but message me on discord *(@mibers)* before starting anything. ## Knowledge Addons are heavily recommended by people who use Skript. When needed, the required addons will be provided. ## A Local Server Local servers are very useful for quickly demonstrating scripts without having to use a web integrated IDE, and getting away from the antics of some server hosts. This is the natural developer environment you should be working on most of the time. --- # 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.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://skript-book.gitbook.io/the-skript-book/prior-to-reading.md?ask=&goal= ``` `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.
