Question: $ARGUMENTS
If no question provided, ask the user what they want to know.
Execute these steps:
- Classify the question — determine which knowledge base tier(s) to consult (see Query Classification below)
- Search the knowledge base — route to appropriate tiers based on classification
- Read relevant claims and docs — load 3-7 most relevant sources fully (use
mcp__qmd__multi_getwhen reading multiple IDs) - Check user context — read
ops/derivation.mdif the question involves their specific system - Synthesize an answer — weave claims into a coherent, opinionated argument
- Cite sources — reference specific claims and documents so the user can explore further
START NOW. Reference below explains routing and synthesis methodology.

setup
Scaffold a complete knowledge system. Detects platform, conducts conversation, derives configuration, generates everything. Validates against 15 kernel primitives. Triggers on "/setup", "/setup --advanced", "set up my knowledge system", "create my vault".
36health
Run condition-based vault health diagnostics. 8 categories — schema compliance, orphan detection, link health, description quality, three-space boundaries, processing throughput, stale notes, MOC coherence. 3 modes — quick (schema+orphans+links), full (all 8), three-space (boundary violations only). Returns actionable FAIL/WARN/PASS report with specific fixes ranked by impact. Triggers on "/health", "check vault health", "maintenance report", "what needs fixing".
29tutorial
Interactive walkthrough for new users. Learn by doing — each step creates real content in your vault. Three tracks (researcher, manager, personal) with a universal learning arc. Triggers on "/tutorial", "walk me through", "how do I use this".
28add-domain
Add a new knowledge domain to your existing system. Derives domain-specific configuration through conversation, generates domain folders, templates, and vocabulary while preserving and connecting to your existing architecture.
28architect
Research-backed evolution advice for your knowledge system. Analyzes health reports, friction patterns, and derivation history to propose specific changes with research justification. Never auto-implements — proposals require your approval.
28upgrade
Apply plugin knowledge base updates to an existing generated system. Consults the Ars Contexta research graph for methodology improvements, proposes skill upgrades with research justification. Never auto-implements. Triggers on "/upgrade", "upgrade skills", "check for improvements", "update methodology".
