SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The QA workflow orchestrates end-to-end knowledge QA by prioritizing locally stored data and crystallized answers, ensuring traceability to source chunks and reducing dependency on external fetches.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Local-first query rewriting and evidence retrieval to answer knowledge questions, definitions, steps, and comparisons using existing data.
  • Dynamic decision: decide when to trigger Get-Info Agent to augment local knowledge when evidence is insufficient or outdated.
  • Crystallization: after a successful answer, delegate to organize-agent to crystallize the reasoning and execution trace for future reuse.

Quick Start

Ask a knowledge question that should be answered from local data; the workflow will first check crystallized answers, rewrite queries, retrieve local evidence, assess sufficiency, trigger Get-Info if needed, generate an evidence-based answer, and hand off to organize-agent for crystallization.

FAQPage Schema
How do I answer knowledge questions using local data first?

The QA workflow solves local-first knowledge QA by rewriting queries, retrieving local evidence chunks, and validating sufficiency before answering. It prioritizes existing data to ensure traceability and reduces dependency on external fetches.

What is knowledge crystallization and how does it work?

Knowledge crystallization is a process that saves successful reasoning and execution traces for future reuse. After generating an evidence-based answer, the workflow delegates to an organize-agent to crystallize the reasoning, enabling faster retrieval of validated answers for subsequent queries.

Can I trigger external fetches when local evidence is insufficient?

Yes, the workflow features dynamic decision-making that triggers a Get-Info Agent to augment local knowledge when retrieved evidence is insufficient or outdated, ensuring accurate question answering even if existing local data lacks necessary information.

Does the QA workflow handle step-by-step and configuration queries?

Yes, the QA workflow handles questions about definitions, steps, comparisons, and configurations where local evidence suffices. It normalizes these inquiries and retrieves local raw data to validate evidence before generating a crystallized answer.

What are the limitations of relying on local-first reasoning?

The primary limitation of local-first reasoning is that it depends entirely on the completeness of stored local data. If local evidence is outdated or missing, the workflow must trigger external fetches via the Get-Info Agent to augment knowledge before answering.
