## Purpose of Subdomains

*"The Skill type (ie. mand, intraverbal, fine motor, gross motor)." (Emily Andreola, BCBA)*

Domains are a broad classification of a group of skills. Subdomains narrow the grouping further, focusing in on a small cluster of skills that have strong associations with each other. Subdomains help organize program content under larger domains and may be used in other workflows across the platform. Proper classification of these subdomains can help determine similar skills that client might excel or struggle with. And like with Domains, it can promote more accurate searches, client assigments, and overall smoother workflow.

## What This Section Covers

# 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://compassly.gitbook.io/compassly-docs/core-modules/program-library/subdomains.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.
