Brain Query
Use this skill to answer from compiled pages first.
Workflow
- Start at
index.md.
- Follow typed links in frontmatter before broad text search.
- Prefer canonical pages over pages that merely mention an object.
- Check
updated: and uncertainty labels.
- Cite brain pages with relative paths in the answer.
- If the answer required durable synthesis, file it back through
brain-ingest.
Answering Rules
- Do not launder uncertainty. Preserve
[INFERENCE], [SPECULATION], and [UNVERIFIED].
- If the brain lacks the answer, say that the brain does not contain it.
- Only query raw sources when freshness or missing coverage requires it.
- When a raw-source lookup resolves a gap, update the brain so the next query does not re-derive it.
Filing Back
File back when the answer combines several pages, resolves a contradiction, derives a timeline, or creates a reusable explanation.
- Reusable logic goes in
concepts/.
- A faithful digest of a raw input goes in
sources/.
- Object-specific synthesis belongs on the object page.
- Pure lookup answers do not need new pages.
Regenerate index.md, append log.md with a query entry, and run the lint gate when filing back.
