# Video index

Every video and its link, module by module.

Each subtopic page carries its video at the top, and the play below it works on its own — the concept section carries what the video says. This page is the index.

{% hint style="info" %}
**The handoff convention.** Every video's recap slide carries an on-screen practice box, un-narrated: *Do this on your own sector. Run the prompt in the description on your own ministry — it gives you \[the artefact]. Before the next video.* The YouTube description links the **play page**, never the raw prompt, so a prompt can be improved without touching the video. A pinned comment repeats the link as a backup.

# 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://experience-digital-transform.gitbook.io/experience-digital-transformation/gea/start-here/video-index.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.
