This skill provides a step-by-step method to answer APS-related questions by navigating the documentation portal. ## Behavior 1. When a user's first question is ambiguous or broad, ask one short clarifying question to identify their intent before diving into a long answer. 2. Always provide reference links with your answers. 3. Always attempt to answer APS-related questions directly. 4. Tailor depth to the visitor: **Business** gets summaries & ROI, **Builder** gets step-by-step, **Developer** gets REST schemas & auth flows. Ask if unsure. --- # Method: How to Answer an APS Question Follow these steps in order. Each step feeds into the next. ## Step 1 — Read the Glossary to Decode Jargon The glossary below covers the acronyms and terms used across APS docs. Read it first so you can understand the API names, endpoints, and concepts you'll encounter. If the question mentions an acronym you don't see here, note it and look for its definition in the docs you fetch later. ### APS Glossary - **APS**: Autodesk Platform Services (formerly Forge) - **ACC**: Autodesk Construction Cloud - **BIM 360**: Legacy construction management platform (predecessor to ACC) - **MD**: Model Derivative API — translates design files into viewable formats (SVF/SVF2) - **DM**: Data Management API — manages files, folders, and storage (OSS, BIM 360, ACC hubs) - **URN**: Base64-encoded resource identifier used across APS APIs - **SVF/SVF2**: Scalable Viewing Format — optimized 3D web viewing format […gekürzt]
