1. **Repository Name**: Describes the repository and is displayed on the repository card from the **Repositories** tab.
2. **Writeup ID Prefix**: A three-character value that is unique to this repository. The Section ID Prefix value informs the future relationship of all sections created within the repository to a specific repository. Once assigned to a particular repository with the prefix, sections will automatically increment as they are added. An error message will display if the prefix already exists after clicking the **Create** button.<br>
3. **Description**: Describes the repository in 350 characters or less. The number of characters remaining in the description is presented at the bottom right of the box.<br>
4. **Repository Access**: Defines what [users and roles can access](/plextrac-documentation/product-documentation/content-library/types-of-repositories.md) the writeups in this repository.&#x20;

<mark style="background-color:yellow;">Step 3:</mark> Click **Create**.

<div align="left"><figure><img src="https://4252973360-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-LXA6EayCcg12qfDcfXd%2Fuploads%2Fa0r3bwgbx3BkQzZtAvro%2Fimage.png?alt=media&amp;token=24f5d5bc-4da6-4995-8411-ce2da93502c1" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

A notification confirms the action and the repository will appear as a card on the **Repositories** tab.

# 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 by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.plextrac.com/plextrac-documentation/product-documentation/content-library/writeupsdb/creating-a-repository.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 `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` 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.
