Wiki Query

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/.

Verification

Before closing the operation issue:

• Every claim in the answer cites a wiki page or raw source.
• If the wiki was insufficient, that is stated directly with a concrete next step (ingest source X, distill project Y, web search Z).
• If you wrote a synthesis page, wiki/index.md lists it and wiki/log.md has a query | filed synthesis entry.
• No file under raw/ was modified.

Tools

wiki_search, wiki_read_page, wiki_list_sources, wiki_read_source, wiki_write_page (only when filing synthesis). Always include the operation issue's wikiId and spaceSlug.
