LLM Wiki Ask

Answer questions using index-first navigation.

wiki/ is the canonical query base. outputs/ is non-canonical artifact storage and must not be treated as a normal answer source.

Steps

1. Read wiki/index.md first.
2. Select the most relevant 3-5 pages.
3. Read only those pages plus directly needed neighbors.
4. Synthesize a grounded answer with citations using the workspace link dialect from wiki/SCHEMA.md:
   • wikilink (default): [[wiki-links]]
   • markdown: [title](relative/path.md)
5. Deliver the answer in chat by default.
6. If the answer creates durable knowledge worth keeping, file it into canonical wiki space such as wiki/queries/ or wiki/comparisons/.
7. Only write to outputs/ when the user explicitly asks for an export, report, deck, chart, or other non-canonical artifact.
8. Update wiki/index.md only for canonical wiki pages, not for ordinary outputs.
9. Append a query entry to wiki/log.md.

Rules

• Do not load the whole wiki by default.
• Cite pages actually read.
• If information is insufficient, say so.
• Good answers that contain lasting knowledge should usually become canonical wiki pages, not output artifacts.
• Do not query outputs/ as part of the default answer path.
