Research answers improve when the existing markdown knowledge base becomes the first context instead of an afterthought.

Workflow

  1. Read index.md.
  2. Read the most relevant wiki pages and source notes.
  3. Search for related terms across wiki/, raw/, Clippings/, and outputs/.
  4. Write the answer to outputs/answers/.
  5. Cite consulted pages and sources.
  6. Add unresolved issues to Open Questions.
  7. Promote durable new insight back into wiki/.
  8. Append a query entry to log.md.

Answer Standard

An answer should be useful as a standalone artifact and as future context.

It should include:

  • The question.
  • Short answer.
  • Detailed answer.
  • Evidence consulted.
