# Requesting

The Mechanic community maintains a board of task requests, where anyone can submit their idea for an addition to the Mechanic task library.

{% embed url="<https://mechanic.canny.io/task-requests>" %}

### What kind of task requests are accepted?

We accept task requests in two categories:

* Tasks that are broadly useful off-the-shelf for non-technical users
* Tasks that are useful foundations for developers, for further modification or inspiration

{% hint style="info" %}
If you need a task that's specifically tailored to a unique situation, or if you have a tight timeline, the task requests board is likely not a good fit. Instead, [work with a developer one-on-one](/custom.md) to create something that suits your needs specifically.
{% endhint %}

### Who implements these task requests?

The Mechanic staff commission these from developers in the Mechanic community. If you're a developer interested in receiving this kind of work, get in touch at <team@usemechanic.com>.

### Where can I file a task request?

Head to <https://mechanic.canny.io/task-requests>. :)

# 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://learn.mechanic.dev/resources/task-library/requesting.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.
