# wiki-query — Wiki Query searches your knowledge base to answer questions, combining information across multiple pages with proper source attribution. It distinguishes confident claims from inferences and flags knowledge gaps. When an answer represents useful synthesis not yet captured in the wiki, it can file that back as a new page to compound your knowledge over time.

# Wiki Query

Answer questions by searching and synthesizing from the wiki.

## Workflow

### Step 1: Search the wiki
1. Read `memory/wiki/index.md` to find relevant pages
2. Use Grep to search for specific terms across `memory/wiki/`
3. 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:

1. Ask the user: "This answer synthesizes information that isn't captured in the wiki yet. Should I file it as a new page?"
2. If yes: create a new wiki page in `memory/wiki/`
3. Update `memory/wiki/index.md`
4. Append to `memory/log.md`:
   ```
   ## [YYYY-MM-DD] query-filed | Page Title
   - Question: [original question]
   - Pages referenced: [list]
   - New page: memory/wiki/page-name.md
   ```

## 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.
