# Quickstart

### Requirements

To use Semble you currently need a Bluesky account. If you don't have one, you can sign up at [bsky.app](https://bsky.app). In the future we'll provide an independent Cosmik ID.

### First steps

**1. Log in.** Head to [semble.so](https://semble.so) and log in with your Bluesky account.

**2. Create your first card.** Cards are the building blocks of Semble — they're simply links with optional notes attached. To create one:

* Click the **+** button in the bottom left corner
* Paste a URL you want to save
* Add a note to capture your thoughts (optional)
* Save it

**3. Explore the network.** Click on **Explore** to see recent activity from across the network — new cards, collections, and what others are curating.

**4. Add cards from others** See something interesting that someone else has shared? Click the **+** symbol on their card to add it to your own collection.

**5. Create collections.** Collections help you organize cards around themes, projects, or research questions. Think of them like playlists for ideas. You can create a new collection and start adding cards to it whenever you're ready. &#x20;

Note that collections are optional. All your cards will automatically go into your default **Library** collection

:grey\_exclamation:**Important**: Right now, everything you save on Semble is public. This is in line with Semble's vision of building shared knowledge networks, but we recognize the value of private data as well, and it's [on our roadmap](https://github.com/cosmik-network/semble/issues/196).

# 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 following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.cosmik.network/semble/getting-started/quickstart.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 `build a script that syncs our docs to a CMS` 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.
