LLM Wiki Query

Search the wiki and synthesize answers to user questions.

Prerequisites

1. Read AGENTS.md to understand wiki conventions
2. Read wiki/index.md to understand what pages exist
3. User has asked a question

Step 1: Understand the Query

Classify the query type:

Type	Description	Example
Lookup	Find specific fact or page	"What is attention mechanism?"
Synthesis	Combine info from multiple pages	"How do neural networks relate to transformers?"
Comparison	Contrast two or more topics	"Compare RNNs vs Transformers"
List	Find all pages matching criteria	"All papers about reinforcement learning"
Gap	Identify what's missing	"What don't we know about X?"

Ask clarifying questions if the query is ambiguous.

Step 2: Find Relevant Pages

1. Read wiki/index.md — scan for relevant categories

2. Read relevant pages directly:

   • Check wiki/sources/ for source summaries
   • Check wiki/concepts/ for concept pages
   • Check wiki/entities/ for entity pages
   • Check wiki/synthesis/ for derived knowledge

3. Use simple grep for keyword search:

   grep -r "keyword" wiki/ --include="*.md"
   

4. For large wikis, if qmd search is available:

   qmd search "query terms"
   

Step 3: Synthesize Answer

Read all relevant pages, then synthesize:

## Answer: [Question]

### Summary
[2-3 sentence answer]

### Details
[Expanded explanation with citations]

### Sources
- [[source-page]] — [relevant quote or idea]
- [[source-page]] — [relevant quote or idea]

### Confidence
- HIGH: Found clear, direct evidence in wiki
- MEDIUM: Inferred from multiple partial matches
- LOW: Incomplete information in wiki

Step 4: Ask About Filing

After delivering the answer, ask:

"Would you like to save this answer to the wiki? I can create a page in synthesis/ with this analysis."

If yes:

1. Generate filename: synthesis/query-[YYYY-MM-DD]-[short-topic].md
2. Create page with the synthesized answer
3. Update wiki/index.md
4. Log to wiki/log.md

Wikilink Rules

• Always use kebab-case: [[neural-networks]]
• Link to existing pages only: if referencing new concept, either create a stub or note it
• Cite sources: always link to source pages when making claims

Exit Criteria

• Answer delivered to user
• Optional: new synthesis page created
• If new pages created: wiki/index.md updated, wiki/log.md appended

No Results

If wiki has no relevant information:

• Be honest: "The wiki doesn't contain information about X yet."
• Suggest: "Want me to search the web for this, or should we file it as a knowledge gap?"
• Optionally create a placeholder stub in synthesis/ or concepts/
