Query Skill

Answer questions using the brain's knowledge with 3-layer search and synthesis.

Memory verbs (MEMORY_VERBS v1, gbrain ≥ 0.43). When connected to a brain over MCP, prefer the seven frozen memory verbs for memory work, they carry provenance, evidence, and a server-enforced token budget:

• recall(query | entity, budget_tokens), the budget-packed memory read. Use it instead of bare search for "what do we know that we SAVED about X".
• entity(name), a zero-LLM person/company/project card (aliases, last-touched, open threads, top edges). Use it instead of get_page + get_backlinks when you just need the card.
• synthesize(question), the explicitly-expensive cross-page answer; the heavy version of query. Reach for it only when the answer must combine evidence across pages. Fall back to search/query/get_page when the verbs aren't on the surface (pre-0.43 servers; --surface full includes the verbs alongside every other op). See docs/protocol/MEMORY_VERBS_v1.md.

Contract

This skill guarantees:

• Every answer is grounded in brain content (no hallucination)
• Every claim has a citation tracing back to a specific page slug
• Gaps are flagged explicitly ("the brain doesn't have information on X")
• Source precedence is respected (user statements > compiled truth > timeline > external)
• Conflicting sources are noted with both citations
