What This Does
Takes a research question, fans out across search adapters, filters candidates,
and files a synthesis page via the gateway. Uses wiki research + wiki query.
Reference conventions: WIKI.md § 5 (query workflow), § 7 (synthesis pages).
Usage
/wiki-research "How does GLP-1 affect dopamine reward circuits?"
/wiki-research "What are the risks of AI agents in clinical settings?" --domain edge-ai-agentic
Execution Steps
-
Check existing coverage: Run wiki search "<key terms>" and scan
index.md for related synthesis pages. If an answer already exists, link
to it and stop unless the user wants a fresh synthesis.
-
Scoped research: Run:
.venv/bin/wiki research "<question>" [--domain <slug>] --review
This fans out search, filters candidates, and builds a query plan.
-
Review plan: The --review flag surfaces the proposed source set.
Confirm or adjust before executing.
-
Execute:
.venv/bin/wiki research "<question>" --execute <plan-id>
Or use the shorthand: .venv/bin/wiki query "<question>" [--domain <slug>]
-
Inspect output: The gateway writes a draft synthesis page to
wiki/synthesis/<slug>.md. Read it and verify:
synthesizes: frontmatter lists source IDs
## Sources cited section has [[sources/...]] links
- Key claims are citation-grounded
-
Finalize: If citations are complete, run wiki finalize on the page.
Otherwise leave as draft and note the gap.
Key constraints
wiki query writes a wiki page — it is a write op. Plan before running (WIKI.md § 9).
- Do not call NotebookLM tools directly. Route through
wiki nlm-* commands (WIKI.md § 9).
- Synthesis pages require
synthesizes: frontmatter per ONT-11; validator warns if absent.
