What it does

Use when an LLM Wiki operation issue asks a question. Answer from wiki pages and raw sources with citations, name gaps plainly, and offer to file durable synthesis when the answer should compound.

Wiki Query

Answer a question from what the wiki actually contains, with citations.

Inputs

  • An operation issue with operationType: "query" and the question in the body.
  • The operation issue's target wikiId, spaceSlug, and space root.

Workflow

  1. Open the target space's wiki/index.md first, it is the navigation aid. Identify candidate pages.
  2. Read the candidate pages end to end with wiki_read_page, always passing the operation issue's wikiId and spaceSlug. Follow [[wiki-links]] to neighbouring pages when the question spans entities or concepts.
  3. Inspect raw sources when a wiki page's claim feels thin. The wiki points to raw/ precisely so you can verify before answering. Use wiki_read_source.
  4. Answer the question in the operation issue thread. Structure:
    • Direct answer first, in 1, 4 sentences.
    • Then the supporting facts as bullet points, each with an inline citation: (see [[wiki/concepts/managed-resources]]) or (see raw/<filename>).
    • If you needed to read a raw source the wiki did not summarise, name that as a gap.
  5. Decide whether the answer is durable. If the question forced you to do real synthesis (a comparison, a tradeoff, a definition of something that isn't already a page), offer to file it under wiki/synthesis/<slug>.md. Do not write the synthesis page silently, it is opt-in. If the user accepts, write the page, link it from wiki/index.md, and append a query | filed synthesis log entry.
  6. When the wiki cannot answer, say so plainly. Suggest a source the user should ingest, a Paperclip project that would help if distilled, or a web lookup. Never bluff.

Voice

  • Lead with the answer.
  • Cite as you go, not in a footnote block at the end.
  • Use the wiki's terse, factual voice. The query response is itself a candidate for filing into wiki/synthesis/.
