Research a question, check existing ARIA knowledge first, draft a knowledge note, and save it to the right knowledge category. Trigger on /ask, research and save, or ask about a pattern.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

# /ask — Query-Driven Knowledge Creation
Research a question, check if the answer already exists in the knowledge base, and if not, draft a knowledge doc that saves directly to promoted files after user review. Fast path from question to knowledge — no backlog intermediary.

Extract the core topic and likely tags from the question for use in Step 2.
## Step 2: Check Existing Knowledge
Before researching, check if the answer already exists:

How to install
mdr add mikeprasad/aria-knowledge/ask@sha256:14cefa11e856b2beThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261014.dae3501, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
