It is intended to: * convey a correct mental model * avoid false expectations * provide orientation before you go into detail It does not replace **no** reference documentation\ and explains **no** technical details. > **The goal is not to know everything –**\ > **but to understand Selmo correctly.** *** ### What to expect here In the onboarding you will find two short texts: * **Selmo in 10 minutes**\ → a compact introduction to the mindset, structure and purpose of Selmo * **How do I read Selmo?**\ → a guide on how this documentation is structured\ → and how to use it sensibly Both texts are: * deliberately short * deliberately precise * deliberately without technical details *** ### What you'll be able to do after the onboarding After the onboarding you should: * know what Selmo is in principle * understand why Selmo is built the way it is * be able to assess which chapters are relevant to you If you want to dive deeper afterwards: * go directly to the reference chapters * use the glossary * do not read linearly, but purposefully > **Selmo rewards careful reading –**\ > **not quick skimming.** *** ### One last note If Selmo seems to you at this point: * strict * unfamiliar * uncompromising then that is intentional. > **Selmo enforces clarity,**\ > **so that machines remain explainable.** --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://infosys.selmotech.com/selmo-solution/selmo-solution-en/selmo-documentation/onboarding.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.
