Deeply retrieve context from the Context Nest vault for the topic in $ARGUMENTS and answer with citations. Use the Bash tool to run ctx.

Steps

1. Choose the vault. Run ctx vault list --json first. If a vault is pinned and its alias is in that list, use it (--vault <alias>). If a pinned alias is not listed, the pin is stale — ignore it and pick the vault(s) whose description matches $ARGUMENTS. If no vault is pinned, likewise pick by description.

2. Build a selector. Run ctx search "$ARGUMENTS" --json for seed node ids, map ids → tags via ctx list --json, and form a tag selector (#a | #b, + to AND, - to exclude).

3. Load deeply. Run ctx query "<selector>" --hops 3 --json (add --vault <alias> when chosen) to pull the documents and their related nodes. Widen the selector or ctx read <id> individual nodes if results are thin.

4. Answer. Summarize what the vault says about $ARGUMENTS, citing each point as vault:id. End with a one-line list of the node ids used. If the vault has nothing on the topic, say so directly.

This is a read-only recall — do not modify the vault.
