- [Designing the battlefield without pretending it is omniscient](https://faction-os.gitbook.io/faction-os-docs/public-website/src/content/blog/battlefield-cockpit-design.md): How FactionOS uses battlefield and cockpit language to make agent work easier to scan without overstating system knowledge.
- [From hook events to a local cockpit](https://faction-os.gitbook.io/faction-os-docs/public-website/src/content/blog/hook-events-to-cockpit.md): A technical explainer for how FactionOS turns local agent events into readable cockpit state without adding hosted transfer by default.
- [Introducing FactionOS as local-first mission control](https://faction-os.gitbook.io/faction-os-docs/public-website/src/content/blog/introducing-factionos.md): A launch note for the local-first cockpit that helps operators observe and steer AI coding sessions.
- [Local-first agent observability without surprise data paths](https://faction-os.gitbook.io/faction-os-docs/public-website/src/content/blog/local-first-agent-observability.md): Why FactionOS treats agent signals as local development context before they are ever an external service concern.
- [Why agent work needs a cockpit](https://faction-os.gitbook.io/faction-os-docs/public-website/src/content/blog/why-agent-work-needs-a-cockpit.md): A practical look at why AI coding sessions need a shared command surface instead of only terminal scrollback.

## 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://faction-os.gitbook.io/faction-os-docs/public-website/src/content/blog.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.
