# Knowledge Entry Point

The first question is not what the topic is. It is where the truth would
live if you had to verify it for yourself.

Choose the next move deliberately:

- If the truth is already named in a local document, dossier, note, or
  semantic path, activate `files`.
- If the truth lives in a structured document root—browsing, searching,
  reading or editing sections of curated docs rather than raw workspace
  files—activate `documents`.
- If the truth is already named on the web, in a URL or page, activate
  `web`.
- If the turn wants a distilled truth that should survive beyond this
  moment, activate `memory`.
- If the answer probably lives in prior sessions, earlier threads, or
  old exchanges, activate `archive`.
- If more than one surface is claiming authority, delegate with the
  relevant tags before you flatten them together.
- If the source is already clear and enough is in hand, respond.

When a semantic reference is already present, treat it as a strong hint
about the source of truth. Preserve references like `kb:article.md`
exactly.
