- [Azimuth Data Flow](https://docs.urbit.org/urbit-id/flow.md): Technical overview of Azimuth's data flow, including Bridge, Gall agents, the Layer 2 naive rollup solution, and how components in Urbit OS communicate in Urbit's PKI system on Ethereum.
- [Life and Rift](https://docs.urbit.org/urbit-id/life-and-rift.md): Explanation of life and rift numbers in Azimuth, how they track networking key revisions and breach counts for secure peer-to-peer networking on Urbit.
- [Urbit HD Wallet](https://docs.urbit.org/urbit-id/hd-wallet.md): Guide to Urbit's Hierarchical Deterministic wallet system. Master tickets, proxy keys, wallet generation, and security best practices for Urbit ID ownership.

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.urbit.org/urbit-id.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.
