query

Answer a question grounded in the wiki at the current working directory.

Parse $ARGUMENTS:

• The quoted string is the question.
• If --file-back appears, write the answer back as a synthesis page.

Steps:

1. Read wiki/index.md to orient.
2. Identify the 5-20 most relevant pages based on the question. Prefer:
   • Higher confidence in frontmatter
   • Fresher last_updated
   • Breadth over depth (10 medium-relevance pages beats 3 highly-relevant ones)
3. Read each identified page in full.
4. Synthesize an answer. Every factual claim cites a wiki page via [[wikilink]].
5. Flag gaps with > [!gap] if the wiki lacks coverage the question needs. Flag contradictions with > [!contradiction] if relevant pages disagree.

If --file-back was passed:

1. Create wiki/synthesis/<slug>.md where slug is a kebab-cased version of the question (max 60 chars). Use frontmatter:

   ---
   title: <Question>
   type: synthesis
   tags: [query-output]
   sources: [<list of wiki pages drawn on>]
   created: YYYY-MM-DD
   last_updated: YYYY-MM-DD
   ttl: 90d
   confidence: <lowest confidence among sources>
   ---
   

2. Write the answer body below the frontmatter. End with a ## Backlinks section (empty if this is the first reference).
3. Link the new synthesis page from wiki/index.md under ## Synthesis.

Always:

1. Append a query log entry to wiki/log.md:

   ## [YYYY-MM-DD] query | <question>
   - Pages consulted: [[a]], [[b]]
   - Answer filed at: wiki/synthesis/<slug>.md   (or "not filed")
   - Gaps identified: [...]
   

Quality bar:

• Do not invent facts not present in the pages you read.
• If the wiki has insufficient coverage, say so. Do not extrapolate.
• Confidence in your answer is bounded by the lowest-confidence source page.
• If pages have expired TTLs, note: "This answer draws on pages that may be stale."

Print the answer directly. Follow with:

Sources: [[page-a]], [[page-b]], ...
Confidence: high | medium | low
Gaps: [...] or "none identified"
Filed back: wiki/synthesis/<slug>.md or "not filed"
