kb-query — Answer via Progressive Disclosure

When to use

User asks a question about a corpus that has a .kb/ directory. The knowledge base exists — you're reading it, not building it.

If .kb/ does not exist, suggest /kb-build and stop.

Input

• Question — natural language, from the user.

Workflow (strict order)

1. Read _root.md first

Open .kb/indexes/_root.md. Always. No exceptions on first access to the KB.

This is the indexes-first rule. It's cheap (≤300 tokens) and orients you correctly in one hop. Skipping it to "save time" costs more time when you pick the wrong summaries.
