Skill: query

Purpose

Answer a question by synthesizing knowledge from the wiki. Valuable findings that are not yet in the wiki become new pages, compounding knowledge over time.

When to invoke

When the user asks a question that requires synthesizing information across multiple wiki pages or raw sources.

Steps

1. Identify which wiki pages are relevant to the question. List them.
2. Read each relevant page in full.
3. If the answer requires information not in the wiki, check raw/ for unprocessed sources that may contain it.
4. Synthesize and answer the question directly.
5. Evaluate: does this answer contain a non-obvious insight, connection, or conclusion not already captured in the wiki?
   • If yes: create a new wiki page (concept or source) capturing the insight, update wiki/index.md, and log in wiki/log.md.
   • If no: skip.
6. Append to wiki/log.md: ## YYYY-MM-DD — query — <question summary> with a note on whether a new page was created.
