# Quickstart

> Five minutes to first ingest and first query

Goal: ingest a small source, query it, see the system route deterministically.

## 1. Install

Follow [/getting-started/install](/getting-started/install). For this quickstart, the paste-prompt path is fastest.

## 2. Pick a source

For a five-minute test, pick something with one or two recent messages:

* a single Slack channel (`/ingest-slack <channel-name> --days 1`)
* a single GitHub repo's PRs (`/ingest-github <owner/repo> --days 7`)
* a Notion database (`/ingest-notion <database-name>`)

The ingest skills land entries under `External Inputs/<Source>/<scope>/<YYYY-MM-DD>.md`.

## 3. Query

After ingest finishes, open Claude Code and ask a natural-language question that the source can answer. Example after a Slack ingest:

```
What did the team decide about the rollout window in #release-planning this week?
```

The agent reads the matching markdown files, extracts the decision, and cites the source by file path.

## 4. Verify reliability

Run `/diagnose` from the same session. The diagnostic checks the install, hooks, MCP connections, and journal index. Green = ready. Yellow = warnings. Red = something to fix.

## What's next

* [Typed memory](/architecture/typed-memory) - see how decisions, exceptions, facts, and workflows differ.
* [Resolver](/architecture/resolver) - see how the agent picks the right rule for a new query.
* [Connectors](/connectors/index) - the full list of substrate skills and webhook receivers.
