SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? When you ask what your project knowledge base knows about a topic, raw search results force you to read and synthesize every hit yourself. This Skill returns a grounded, cited answer with an explicit confidence level and stated evidence gaps, so you know exactly what the Brain store supports and what it does not. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Cited Answer Synthesis: Calls the brain_think MCP tool (or red-skills-brain think CLI) to produce a concise answer grounded in captured Brain artifacts, with stable citations to artifact rid/id/kind, score signals, excerpts, and source provenance. - Confidence and Gap Reporting: Relays the returned confidence level (none, low, medium, high) and all missing_evidence items explicitly, never filling gaps with uncited model knowledge. - Brain-vs-Memory Routing: Answers questions about human and project knowledge from Brain while directing operational work facts to /memory:recall. - Use Case: Ask "what does Brain say about our caching strategy?" and receive a synthesized answer with citations, a confidence rating, and a clear statement of any evidence gaps, plus a suggestion to capture missing knowledge via /brain:capture. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to use brain think to answer what the project Brain knows about a specific topic and show the citations and confidence level.

FAQPage Schema
How do I get a cited answer from my project knowledge base?▼

Call the brain_think MCP tool with your natural-language question, or run red-skills-brain think "<query>" from the CLI. It returns a synthesized answer with citations, a confidence level, and explicit evidence gaps.

What is the difference between brain think and brain search?▼

brain search returns a raw ranked hit list for browsing individual artifacts, while brain think returns a synthesized, cited answer with confidence and missing evidence. Use think when you want an answer, search when you want to inspect sources yourself.

How is the confidence level in brain think determined?▼

Confidence is computed by brain_think from ranking signals: high-scoring multi-citation results with source provenance yield high, while a single weak hit without provenance yields low or none. The agent relays it as-is and does not choose it.

Can brain think answer questions about current session work?▼

No. brain think reasons only over human and project knowledge captured in the Brain store, not operational work facts from the current session. For engineering work facts, use /memory:recall and synthesize both results manually.

What happens when Brain has no evidence for my question?▼

When confidence is none or low, or missing_evidence is non-empty, the gaps are stated explicitly instead of being filled with model knowledge. You are prompted to run /brain:capture to store the missing knowledge for future recalls.
