// Answer questions against the knowledge base wiki. Use when the user asks a question about their collected knowledge, wants to explore connections between topics, says "what do I know about X", or wants to search their wiki.
Process raw source documents into wiki pages. Use when the user adds files to raw/ and wants them ingested, says "process this source", "ingest this article", "I added something to raw/", or wants to incorporate new material into their knowledge base.
Health-check the wiki for contradictions, orphan pages, stale claims, and missing cross-references. Use when the user says "audit", "health check", "lint", "find problems", or wants to improve wiki quality.
Set up a new Obsidian knowledge base with the LLM Wiki pattern. Use when the user wants to create a second brain, initialize a vault, set up a personal knowledge base, or says "onboard". Guides through an interactive wizard to configure vault name, location, domain, agent support, and tooling.

Answer questions by searching and synthesizing knowledge from the wiki.
Read wiki/index.md to identify relevant pages. Scan all category sections (Sources, Entities, Concepts, Synthesis) for entries related to the question.
If qmd is installed (check with command -v qmd), use it for search:
qmd search "query terms" --path wiki/
This is especially useful when the wiki has grown beyond ~100 pages where scanning the index becomes inefficient.
Read the wiki pages identified by the index or search. Follow [[wikilinks]] to pull in related context from linked pages. Read enough pages to give a thorough answer, but don't read the entire wiki.
If the wiki pages don't fully answer the question, check relevant source summaries in wiki/sources/ for additional detail. Only go to files in raw/ as a last resort.
Match the answer format to the question:
Always cite wiki pages using [[wikilink]] syntax. Example:
According to [[Source - Article Title]], the key finding was X. This connects to the broader pattern described in [[Concept Name]], which [[Entity Name]] has also explored.
If the answer produces something worth keeping — a comparison, analysis, new connection, or synthesis — offer to save it:
"This comparison might be useful to keep in your wiki. Want me to save it as a synthesis page?"
If the user agrees:
wiki/synthesis/ with proper frontmatterwiki/index.md under Synthesiswiki/log.md: ## [YYYY-MM-DD] query | Question summary[[wikilinks]] for all internal references. Never use raw file paths./second-brain-ingest — process new sources into wiki pages/second-brain-lint — health-check the wiki for issues
