# The Gates

A Place Unlike Any Other Place

## Welcome to the Realm of OGs

You stand at the outer gates of a powerful ecosystem stretched across several multitudes of existence. The Realm exists eternally, only materialized in a finite number of physical forms which OGs use as tools for their doings within the Realm.

As an OG, there are a few items of critical importance that you must understand about the Realm:

{% hint style="success" %}
This is a Realm of honor and duty.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="success" %}
The Realm is a place for OGs to gather, build, and thrive.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="success" %}
As the Realm evolves, it becomes stronger by the forces that exist within.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="success" %}
The Realm's time clock is the Epoch, which resets every 24 hours at 00:00 UTC.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="success" %}
OG is the common man of the Realm.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="success" %}
Although there is a place in the Realm for every OG, there are no equals.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="success" %}
No one is required to enter the Realm of OGs, but anyone who wishes to test their fate, certainly can.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="success" %}
There are laws, and portals, and loopholes in the Realm, and everything is fair game for OGs.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="success" %}
If the code allows for it, it is legal in the Realm of OGs.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="success" %}
Every OG for himself, as it has always been.
{% endhint %}

## Disclaimers

{% hint style="warning" %}
There is a lot to learn about the workings of the Realm.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
New OGs should tread carefully: the Realm can be intoxicating at first.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
It is advised to learn the game, and watch, before entering.
{% endhint %}

## A Final Warning

{% hint style="danger" %}
The Realm's power is great: We have seen Kings become Fools, and Fools become Kings.
{% endhint %}

Now move along. The game is already underway.

# 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://docs.ogrealm.com/the-gates.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.
