description	Answer questions from ontology-brain. Use for what, why, status, dependency, ownership, source, or relationship questions where the compiled brain should be checked before re-reading raw material.

Brain Query

Use this skill to answer from compiled pages first.

Workflow

1. Start at index.md.
2. Follow typed links in frontmatter before broad text search.
3. Prefer canonical pages over pages that merely mention an object.
4. Check updated: and uncertainty labels.
5. Cite brain pages with relative paths in the answer.
6. 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.
