# Documentation

Content pack documentation includes:

* pack\_metadata.json

  Contains the pack description, pack keywords, tags, use-cases, and categories
* Content Pack README.md

  Packs that provide at least one end-to-end use case should contain a detailed README file that will be displayed in the **Details** tab of the pack in Marketplace. The README file can contain external images and videos, as needed.
* README.md files for integrations, scripts, and playbooks.
* Release notes

  Track changes made in specific content entities, such as integrations or playbooks.
* integrationname\_description.md

  Describes how to set up an integration.

Integrations, scripts, and playbooks and their components (i.e., integration command arguments and outputs) have descriptions that show up both within the product and in the **Reference** section of [xsoar.pan.dev](https://xsoar.pan.dev/docs/reference/index).

While designing your contribution, we recommend reviewing the [design best practices](/cortex-xsiam-developer-guide/cortex-xsiam-development-guide/readme/design/design-best-practices.md) and [documentation best practices](/cortex-xsiam-developer-guide/cortex-xsiam-development-guide/documentation/documentation-best-practices.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://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/cortex-xsiam-developer-guide/cortex-xsiam-development-guide/documentation.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.
