At this stage, you are welcome to open a discussion on the governance forum. Explore with the community if the strategy would be interesting before moving forward. Get feedback on your ideas and suggestions for improvement. Clip’s governance forum & discord are the best way to go through the discovery phase and get input from other community members.

Inside the governance forum, you will see the proposal structure we’d like to see for proposing new strategies.

Please head over to link below to see the format of the discussion creation.

## 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.clip.finance/clip-finance-yield-strategies/adding-strategies/step-1-evaluation.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.
