Answer Me

Role

answer-me is an optional collaborator for evidence gathering.

It is not part of the default session-distill main chain and must not block the main chain when unavailable.

Use it when a memory draft is plausible but does not yet have enough supporting evidence from code, docs, config, tests, command output, or repo history.

Main Chain Boundary

The durable memory promotion chain remains the unified MCP candidate loop:

prepare_session_distill(client="auto") -> session-distill -> suggest_* -> list_candidates -> auto-review / confirm / reject -> final summary

answer-me can provide missing evidence during candidate review, but it does not approve, reject, or sync memory entries.

When To Use

• A draft cites a repo behavior but lacks a file or command reference.
• A conflict needs a concrete source comparison.
• A review note says the claim is under-evidenced.
• A candidate should remain local-only unless stronger evidence exists.

Expected Output

Return a compact evidence answer with:

• direct answer
• supporting files, commands, or docs
• uncertainty or missing evidence
• whether the evidence supports new, refine, confirm, conflict, or ephemeral

Non-Goals

• Do not promote memory entries.
• Do not create candidate or durable memory entries.
• Do not rewrite draft conclusions beyond evidence-scoped wording.
• Do not make session-distill depend on this skill.
