Example prompt: Can you do an I Ching divination for me? My question is: 'Should I accept the new job offer I received this week?' Use the three-coin method and give me the hexagram, changing lines, and what the oracle says specifically about my situation.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when a user wants a full, contextual I Ching divination tied to a specific question — not just hexagram lookup or structural analysis. It handles the entire workflow (coin casting + interpretation + contextual framing) in one call, making it ideal for AI agents that need to deliver a complete oracle reading without chaining multiple endpoints. Prefer it over the hexagram-relations sibling endpoint, which only handles structural transformations (nuclear/inverse/opposite) without divination.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or empty question field returns an error
- Question too vague or malformed may return a generic reading with less contextual relevance
- Payment failure (x402 protocol) if USDC balance is insufficient
- Network timeout if the divination computation takes too long
- Invalid request body structure returns a 400 error
