# vault-query — Karpathy LLM Wiki Query ## When to use User asks: - "what do we know about X?" - "have we solved this before?" - "find notes on Y" - "any learnings about Z?" - "check the vault for …" ## Process 1. **Locate vault** — read `$VAULT_PATH` from `~/.claude/CLAUDE.md` or probe standard locations 2. **Read `index.md`** — catalog-first retrieval 3. **Grep for topic** across `02_KNOWLEDGE/` + `03_REFERENCE/` + `00_INBOX/` — pattern: case-insensitive substring or tag match 4. **Drill into matching pages** — read relevant ones 5. **Synthesize answer** with citations: ``` Based on vault: X works this way because [[02_KNOWLEDGE/patterns/x|X pattern]]. Seen in: [[01_PROJECTS/proj-a]], [[01_PROJECTS/proj-b]]. Gotcha documented in [[02_KNOWLEDGE/learnings/x-edge-case]]. ``` 6. **Promote valuable queries** — if the synthesis itself is novel (comparison across sources, new connection), ask user: "save as new page?" → if yes, write to `02_KNOWLEDGE/` and update index 7. **Append to log.md**: ``` ## [YYYY-MM-DD] query | <question> Answered from [[...pages...]] ``` ## Fallback If nothing in vault matches → say so explicitly. Do NOT fabricate. Offer to: - Run `vault-ingest` on a new source to fill the gap - Run WebSearch if online info would help ## Output format - Lead with direct answer - Follow with citations as `[[wikilink]]` - End with confidence level: "high (3 sources agree)" / "medium (single source)" / "low (inferred)"
