### Contributor compensation

Fundamentally SEEDS is an economic system redesigning how we distribute value to those who give value. As an ecosystem we'll continue to improve how we recognize and reward contributions to the commons (such as updating this Wiki).

All contributions to the SEEDS Commons Wiki are [tracked through Gitbooks](/read-me-first/governance-and-contributing/contributing-to-the-knowledge-base.md) and these contributions can (and very likely will) be retroactively used to compensate contributors as we continue to build the systems that more easily reflect value to contributors (who weren't already in a role to create this Wiki).

# Agent Instructions: 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:

```
GET https://explore.joinseeds.earth/read-me-first/governance-and-contributing/contributing-to-the-knowledge-base.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
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.
