# entering the field

You enter the field once. After that, you only return.

## the door

The door is at [lashae.us/enter](https://lashae.us/enter). It is a small page. It asks for an email and a password, or a magic link. It does not ask for a name yet. Names come after the door.

## the three questions

Once inside, the field asks for three things, in this order:

1. **a handle** — lowercase, letters and dashes only. this is what other walkers will see. choose one you would still want to be called in a year.
2. **a pilgrim** — the first voice you want to walk beside. you can change later, but the first one matters. pick the pilgrim who describes the thing you find hardest:
   * *doing* → the witness
   * *planning* → the cartographer
   * *beginning* → the quiet one
   * *remembering* → the archivist
   * *judging* → the gatekeeper
3. **a vow** — see [the vow](/lashae-docs/the-lore/the-vow.md). one sentence. no rewrites in the first sitting.

## the first field

After the three answers, you are placed on your **field** — a page that is almost empty. There are no onboarding tooltips. There is no "start here" arrow. There is a small link that says *leave a footprint*. That is where the walking begins.

## what you will not be given

* a welcome tour.
* a badge for signing up.
* a first-day streak.
* suggested walkers to follow.
* an email a week later begging you to come back.

If you do not come back, the field is not offended. The field is used to it.

# 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://lashae.gitbook.io/lashae-docs/the-walk/entering.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.
