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
- Open the target space's
wiki/index.mdfirst, it is the navigation aid. Identify candidate pages. - Read the candidate pages end to end with
wiki_read_page, always passing the operation issue'swikiIdandspaceSlug. Follow[[wiki-links]]to neighbouring pages when the question spans entities or concepts. - Inspect raw sources when a wiki page's claim feels thin. The wiki points to
raw/precisely so you can verify before answering. Usewiki_read_source. - 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.
- 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 fromwiki/index.md, and append aquery | filed synthesislog entry. - 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/.
Verification
