Wiki Query

Answer questions by searching and synthesizing from the wiki.

Workflow

Step 1: Search the wiki

Read
```
memory/wiki/index.md
```
to find relevant pages
Use Grep to search for specific terms across
```
memory/wiki/
```
Read the most relevant pages (usually 3-10)

Step 2: Synthesize an answer

Combine information from multiple wiki pages
Cite sources: reference both wiki pages and the underlying raw documents
Note confidence level — distinguish well-sourced claims from inferences
Flag if the wiki has gaps on this topic

Step 3: Present the answer

Format depends on the question:

Factual question — direct answer with citations
Comparison — markdown table comparing entities/concepts
Overview — structured summary with sections
Analysis — synthesis with explicit reasoning chain

Step 4: File back (if valuable)

If the answer represents a useful synthesis that doesn't exist as a wiki page:

Ask the user: "This answer synthesizes information that isn't captured in the wiki yet. Should I file it as a new page?"
If yes: create a new wiki page in
```
memory/wiki/
```
Update
```
memory/wiki/index.md
```

Append to

memory/log.md

- Pages referenced: [list]

Key Insight

Good answers should not disappear into chat history. A comparison you asked for, an analysis, a connection you discovered — these are valuable wiki content. Filing them back means your explorations compound in the knowledge base just like ingested sources do.
