# Slugs

In Kumu, a **slug** is a piece of text that has had all letters converted to lowercase, all special characters removed, and all spaces replaced with hyphens. Kumu uses slugs in many different places:

* In the URL bar
* Inside of [selectors](/guides/selectors.md)
* In [Markdown](/guides/profiles/markdown.md)
* In the [Advanced Editor](/overview/user-interfaces/view-editors.md#advanced-editor)

Knowing how to recognize, read, and write slugs is a skill that will come in handy, especially if you work in the Advanced Editor! Here are some sample slugs:

| Original text                                                             | Slug                                                                        |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| My First Kumu Project                                                     | `my-first-kumu-project`                                                     |
| Honolulu, HI                                                              | `honolulu-hi`                                                               |
| Friends don't let friends map alone!                                      | `friends-dont-let-friends-map-alone`                                        |
| Method and System for Dynamically Creating and Exploring Graph Structures | `method-and-system-for-dynamically-creating-and-exploring-graph-structures` |
| От Kumu с любовью                                                         | `от-kumu-с-любовью`                                                         |

# 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 by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.kumu.io/guides/slugs.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_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.
