lisa-wiki-query

Answer from the wiki, with citations, without changing it (by default).

Workflow

0. Resolve the wiki root. Run the bundled resolver from the installed Lisa wiki plugin, not from the consumer repository's scripts/ directory:

   node "${PLUGIN_ROOT:-${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-${CURSOR_PLUGIN_ROOT:-$(npm root)/@codyswann/lisa/plugins/lisa-wiki}}}/scripts/ensure-wiki.mjs" --json
   

   Use the returned wikiRoot as the base for every read below — never assume wiki/. A local wiki resolves instantly (no-op); a wiki whose .lisa.config.json declares wiki.source.url is mirrored and refreshed transparently first. The script is offline-tolerant (it proceeds with the existing mirror and warns rather than blocking), so freshness is guaranteed here and the caller never has to think about it.
1. Read <wikiRoot>/index.md to locate candidate pages; consult <wikiRoot>/start-here.md for orientation.
2. Drill into the relevant synthesis pages and their cited source notes.
3. Synthesize an answer. Every claim cites its wiki page and/or source note. If the wiki does not support an answer, say so plainly rather than inventing one; suggest an /ingest that would fill the gap. Only record the gap in wiki/open-questions/ if the user explicitly asks (that is a writeback — see step 4); never write it silently.
4. Writeback (opt-in only): if — and only if — the user explicitly asks to persist new synthesis discovered during the query, route it through the ingest pipeline so provenance/index/log/state stay consistent, and log it as a QUERY operation. Never write back silently.

Rules

• Read-only by default. No page edits, index/log changes, state advancement, or PRs unless the user explicitly requests writeback.
• Prefer the wiki's own content over outside knowledge; distinguish wiki-sourced facts from your own reasoning.
• Surface contradictions or stale claims you encounter as /lint-style findings rather than silently picking one.
