SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It helps operators get accurate answers by consulting an LLM-maintained wiki first, then falling back to web/MCP/model knowledge only when the wiki lacks the needed information.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Indexed wiki lookup: Greps wiki/index.md for relevant terms before scanning the rest of the wiki.
  • Evidence-backed answers: Loads matching pages and cites claims using [[wikilinks]].
  • Self-improving knowledge base: When the wiki misses, derives an answer and optionally proposes a new wiki page for future reuse.

Quick Start

Ask a substantive question like: "What is Walter-OS’s wiki ingestion flow and when should it refile an answer?"

FAQPage Schema
How do I query an internal wiki for grounded answers instead of relying on LLM guesswork?▼

You query an internal wiki by consulting an LLM-maintained index to grep relevant terms, load matching pages, and generate answers grounded with strict wikilink citations. This prevents model hallucination by checking existing knowledge first.

What is the best way to structure a knowledge base search with web fallback for missed queries?▼

The best way to structure a knowledge base search uses a wiki-miss flow that derives an answer from model or web knowledge when the wiki lacks information, then optionally proposes a new wiki page to capture that derived answer for future reuse.

How do I add citations to answers generated from a local knowledge management system?▼

To add citations to answers from a local knowledge management system, the system loads matched wiki pages during retrieval and enforces strict [[wikilink]] citation integrity, linking every grounded claim directly back to its source page.

Can I use grep-based indexing to search a markdown wiki before falling back to web search?▼

Yes, you can use grep-based indexing to search a markdown wiki. The system greps the wiki index file for relevant terms before scanning the rest of the wiki, only falling back to web or MCP search if the wiki lacks the needed information.

When should I avoid using a wiki lookup tool for operator questions?▼

You should avoid using a wiki lookup tool for entirely novel queries where no prior discussions, decisions, or concepts exist in the wiki, as the system will bypass local search and immediately fall back to web or model knowledge.

Does wiki-query work with MCP search tools when the local wiki misses a query?▼

Yes, wiki-query works with MCP search tools. When the local wiki misses a query, the system falls back to web, MCP, or model knowledge to derive an answer and optionally proposes a new wiki page for future reuse.
