description: Use when an LLM Wiki operation issue asks a question. Answer from wiki pages and raw sources with citations, name gaps plainly, and offer to file durable synthesis when the answer should compound.

Wiki Query

Answer a question from what the wiki actually contains, with citations.

Inputs

• An operation issue with `operationType: "query"` and the question in the body.
• The operation issue's target `wikiId`, `spaceSlug`, and space root.

Workflow

1. **Open the target space's `wiki/index.md` first** — it is the navigation aid. Identify candidate pages. 2. **Read the candidate pages** end to end with `wiki_read_page`, always passing the operation issue's `wikiId` and `spaceSlug`. Follow `[[wiki-links]]` to neighbouring pages when the question spans entities or concepts. 3. **Inspect raw sources** when a wiki page's claim feels thin. The wiki points to `raw/` precisely so you can verify before answering. Use `wiki_read_source`. 4. **Answer the question** in the operation issue thread. Structure:

• Direct answer first, in 1–4 sentences.
• Then the supporting facts as bullet points, each with an inline citation: `(see [[wiki/concepts/managed-resources]])` or `(see raw/<filename>)`.
• If you needed to read a raw source the wiki did not summarise, name that as a gap.

5. **Decide whether the answer is durable.** If the question forced you to do real synthesis (a comparison, a tradeoff, a definition of something that isn't already a page), offer to file it under `wiki/synthesis/<slug>.md`. Do not write the synthesis page silently — it is opt-in. If the user accepts, write the page, link it from `wiki/index.md`, and append a `query | filed synthesis` log entry. 6. **When the wiki cannot answer**, say so plainly. Suggest a source the user should ingest, a Paperclip project that would help if distilled, or a web lookup. Never bluff.

Voice

• Lead with the answer.
• Cite as you go, not in a footnote block at the end.
• Use the wiki's terse, factual voice. The query response is itself a candidate for filing into `wiki/synthesis/`.

Verification

Before closing the operation issue:

• [ ] Every claim in the answer cites a wiki page or raw source.
• [ ] If the wiki was insufficient, that is stated directly with a concrete next step (ingest source X, distill project Y, web search Z).
• [ ] If you wrote a synthesis page, `wiki/index.md` lists it and `wiki/log.md` has a `query | filed synthesis` entry.
• [ ] No file under `raw/` was modified.

Tools

`wiki_search`, `wiki_read_page`, `wiki_list_sources`, `wiki_read_source`, `wiki_write_page` (only when filing synthesis). Always include the operation issue's `wikiId` and `spaceSlug`.
