SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Retrieves the most relevant knowledge-base findings for a user question from the local project library, returning them with citations to support decision making.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Multi-source retrieval with per-source provenance
  • Structured findings with inline citations
  • Stateless shelf-index reads ensuring fresh results
  • Use Case: Ask a question like "What does our research say about trunk-based development?" and receive concise, cited findings across the activated libraries.

Quick Start

Ask a question against the project's knowledge base to retrieve structured, citation-backed findings.

FAQPage Schema
How do I query a local project knowledge base and get cited findings?

Query a local project knowledge base by asking a natural language question to retrieve structured findings with inline citations and per-source provenance. The skill performs multi-source retrieval across activated libraries, returning concise, evidence-backed conclusions for decision making.

What is the best way to retrieve research findings from a repository knowledge base?

Retrieving research findings from a repository knowledge base is best handled by stateless shelf-index reads that ensure fresh results. This approach restricts reads to the specified scope and returns structured evidence with citations, preserving per-source provenance across the activated libraries.

Can I get provenance and citations when retrieving findings from multiple knowledge base sources?

Yes, retrieving findings from multiple knowledge base sources includes per-source provenance and inline citations. The skill enforces stateless shelf-index reads across the activated libraries, ensuring fresh results while presenting concise, evidence-backed conclusions for each source.

Does knowledge base retrieval restrict reads to a specified scope?

Knowledge base retrieval restricts reads to the specified scope through stateless shelf-index reads. This ensures fresh results by enforcing scope limitations during the multi-source query process, returning structured findings with citations while preserving per-source provenance.

How do I ensure fresh results when querying a project knowledge base?

Ensure fresh results when querying a project knowledge base by using stateless shelf-index reads. The skill enforces these reads to retrieve the most relevant findings from activated libraries, returning structured evidence with citations and preserving per-source provenance.
