# 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 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://docs.kumu.io/guides/slugs.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.
