What it does
Answer questions using the Arkon knowledge base. Searches wiki first, drills into raw sources only when needed. Supports quick, standard, and deep modes. Triggers on: what do we know about, find in KB, look up, query:, arkon query, search the wiki, tell me about, based on the KB.
arkon-query: Query the Knowledge Base
The wiki has already done the synthesis work. Read strategically, answer precisely. Raw sources are a fallback, not the first stop.
Query Modes
| Mode | Trigger | Tools used | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Quick | query quick: ... or simple factual Q | search_wiki only | Direct lookups, names, dates |
| Standard | default | search_wiki → 2-4 pages | Most questions |
| Deep | query deep: ... or "thorough", "find everything" | Full wiki traverse + source drill-down | Cross-cutting synthesis |
Quick Mode
- Call
search_wiki(query, top_k=5). If the top result has high similarity (≥ 80%) and its summary answers the question, respond immediately. - If not satisfied, call
read_wiki_page(slug)for the top 1-2 results. - If still not found, say "Not in quick cache, run as standard query?"
Do not call read_wiki_index or source tools in quick mode.
Standard Query Workflow
search_wiki(query), ranked list of pages. Read summaries.read_wiki_page(slug)for the 2-4 most relevant results. Follow wikilinks[[slug]]at depth 1 only if they look essential.- Synthesize the answer in chat. Cite with page slugs: (Source:
concept/onboarding). - If the question reveals a gap: "I don't have enough on X in the KB. Want to check the raw sources?"
Deep Mode
search_wiki+read_wiki_indexto map coverage.- Read all relevant pages. Follow wikilinks at depth 2 if needed.
- If wiki coverage is thin for a specific claim, drill into raw sources (see below).
- Always cite both wiki pages and source documents used.
Source Drill-Down (citations or precise text)
Use when: the wiki has paraphrased something and you need the exact wording, or the user asks "what does the document actually say."
