# Internal - Authoring workflow

{% hint style="danger" %}
Internal use only.

Do not publish this page to customers or partners.
{% endhint %}

This page describes how IntelFactor maintains documentation internally.

### When public documentation must be updated

Public documentation should be updated only when:

* External interfaces change
* Behavioral guarantees change
* Security or responsibility boundaries change

Internal implementation changes do not require public documentation updates.

Internal runbooks and implementation notes are not published.

# Agent Instructions: 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:

```
GET https://intelfactor.gitbook.io/doc/internal-not-for-public/internal-authoring-workflow.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
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.
