# Students

* Actively participate in the program
* Ask for help when something is preventing you from achieving a goal
* Ask your question in the open if it could be beneficial to someone else too
* Look for answers yourself before going to the mentors for help
* Don't say just ["hello"](https://www.nohello.com/) in the chat
* Help other fellow students with their doubts
* Listen and respond to feedback, especially during reviews
* Submit quality code and follow best practices (your mentors would help)
* Don't merge a pull request until at least **two** mentors have approved the code
* Keep in touch (check your notifications on GitHub, Discord, etc at least once a day)

# 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://openhack.gitbook.io/openhack-20/responsibilities/students.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.
