Statements, sources and connections
A reading guide to the records behind retrieved context.
Statements
Retained knowledge includes facts, decisions, preferences and other typed records. A statement expresses what was retained; it should be read with its source and relevant scope.
Sources and evidence
Source references connect retained knowledge to the material it came from. Engine-level evidence records may also be called witnesses. The detail available depends on how the knowledge was captured. Inspect the returned evidence rather than assuming every record has the same citation format.
Entities and connections
Entities represent named things such as people, projects and systems. Connections help relate knowledge about them. A graph is an organizational structure, not proof that each relationship is correct.
Revisions
A correction should identify the earlier record it updates. Keeping that relationship makes changes easier to interpret than storing competing statements independently.
Use the records
Retrieve context within the intended project and branch, inspect the source and confirm that the record applies to the task. See answers with sources.
