# Resources for Agents
Useful resources for agents
## Builder’s Guide
The Builder’s Guide bundles the most popular resources around Lightning Lab’s protocols, products and services.
To assist LLMs in digesting the material available in the Builder’s guide, append `.md` to any URL to show the raw markdown version of a guide.
You may also download all of the guides or point your agent to the Github repository, preserving internal linkage:
## Code documentation
Some additional, often more technical documentation, advanced set-up instructions, guides, and guidelines aimed at developers can be found in the /docs subdirectory of Lightning Labs products, such as [LND](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/tree/master/docs), [Litd](https://github.com/lightninglabs/lightning-terminal/tree/master/docs), [Loop](https://github.com/lightninglabs/loop/tree/master/docs), [Pool](https://github.com/lightninglabs/pool/tree/master/docs) or [Taproot Assets](https://github.com/lightninglabs/taproot-assets/tree/main/docs)
## Lightning Agent Tools
Lightning Lab’s agentic toolkit contains several composable skills and an MCP server. They include skills for how to operate an LND node, a security module, a macaroon bakery and aperture.
## L402 Directories
L402 directories help your agent discover resources available for sale through L402 endpoints:

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://docs.lightning.engineering/agents/resources-for-agents.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
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.
