# Field Manuals & Technical References

Compact field manuals that keep technical details attached to their interpretation limits.

`REFERENCE // DETAILS WITH CONTEXT`

References are for the moment you know the task and need a precise detail: an artifact location, a field meaning, a command option or a compact checklist. They should be quick to consult without stripping away the conditions that make the answer useful.

## What a field manual should give you

| Detail                   | Context that belongs beside it                          |
| ------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------- |
| Artifact or log location | Applicable platform, version and collection assumptions |
| Field or timestamp       | Meaning, representation and interpretation limits       |
| Command or query         | Required inputs, expected output and side effects       |
| Checklist                | Scope, decision points and when to seek more evidence   |

Prefer a small, maintained reference to a catalogue of unexplained commands. Sources and last verification dates belong close enough to the answer that readers can assess its currency.

For the method around an artifact, go to [Investigate](/holocron/investigate/investigate.md). For a detection use case, go to [Detect](/holocron/detect/detect.md). For a particular tool's practical fit and limitations, look to [Dispatches](/holocron/dispatches/dispatches.md).

# 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://darkcybe.gitbook.io/holocron/reference/reference.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.
