# For agents

Use Doc Bridge before changing a module. It returns versioned, runtime-validated data instead of asking a model to infer ownership from the entire repository.

```bash
ak-docs query ownership <id> --agent
```

The response supplies four things: `startHere`, `readBeforeEditing`, `editRoots`, and `checks`.

  Q["Resolve ownership"] --> R["Read startHere"]
  R --> E["Edit only editRoots"]
  E --> T["Run checks"]
  T --> P["Promote durable learning"]
```
