The VVC will work with the project proponents to answer a set of questions that will be used to validate and verify the project plan and data collected through the monitoring report. The VVC checks for adherence to the procedures outline in the protocol, the project plan, and required elements as outlined in the [Regen Registry Program Guide](https://regen-registry.gitbook.io/regen-registry-program-guide/). All requests for clarification from the EC to the project proponents must be documented as detailed as described in VVC[ Requests for Additional Information](/regen-validation-and-verification/regen-registry-verification-and-validation-manual/vvc-request-for-additional-information.md) chapter. --- # 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.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://handbook.regen.network/regen-validation-and-verification/regen-registry-verification-and-validation-manual/overview.md?ask=&goal= ``` `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.
