Ask Weaviate (Query Agent Ask Mode)
Use Query Agent to ask questions and get generated answers with sources.
Usage

Workflow
When necessary, use AskUserQuestion to make entering arguments easier.
1. Parse the query and collections arguments 2. If arguments are missing:
- Run `/weaviate:collections` to list available collections
- Use AskUserQuestion to prompt user to select
3. Run the Query Agent ask script:
uv run ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/weaviate/scripts/ask.py --query "USER_QUERY" --collections "COLLECTION_1,COLLECTION_2"4. Display generated answer with sources
Example
/weaviate:ask query "What are the key features of HNSW indexing?" collections "Documentation"
For Raw Objects
Use `/weaviate:query` instead to get raw objects without generated answer.
