Query
Answer a question using the project wiki and work artifacts. Cite every source. Offer to persist the answer as a synthesis page.
Gathering sources
Read the field-guide index first. Prefer .lore/reference/index.md; if it does not exist, read .lore/reference/index.html. Scan all listed pages to identify which are relevant to the question. Relevance is broad — include any page whose subject could bear on the answer, even indirectly.
Read every candidate page in full. Candidate pages may be Markdown or HTML. For HTML pages, use meta tags as metadata and visible body content as the page body. Then scan .lore/work/ for supported source documents (.md and .html specs, designs, retros, plans, research) that may contain context not yet extracted into the wiki. Use judgment: if the question is about a decision, check plans and specs. If it's about what broke, check retros. If it's about how something works, check architecture and research documents.
If no relevant material exists, say so. Don't synthesize an answer from general knowledge when the question is asking what this project specifically decided or learned.
Answering
Give a direct answer, then the supporting evidence. If sources conflict, name the conflict and both positions — don't arbitrate silently.
After the answer, list every file cited. Use the file path as the identifier. Example:
Sources: .lore/reference/auth-flow-decision.md, .lore/work/specs/auth-spec.md
Saving as synthesis
After delivering the answer, ask whether to save it as a synthesis wiki page. If the user accepts:
