 "title": "Ask questions over your notes and get cited answers",
 "page_title": "How to ask questions over your notes and get cited answers with Graybox",
 "summary": "Query everything you captured and receive an answer that cites the specific note or page it used.",
 "who": "A knowledge worker or student who has many captured notes and needs to recall a fact with proof of where it came from.",
 "problem": "Searching old notes by hand is slow, and an answer without a source is hard to trust.",
 "outcome": "A grounded answer with inline citations such as [person/aaryan], or an honest statement that nothing relevant was found.",
 "steps": [
  "Capture notes with `graybox capture \"<note text>\"` as they come up. (inferred, check the README)",
  "Run `graybox organize` to turn the captures into wiki pages.",
  "Ask a question with `graybox ask \"<your question>\"`. (inferred, check the README)",
  "Continue the conversation with `graybox chat` if you have follow-up questions."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Use the Aaryanverma/graybox repo to answer <question> with `graybox ask`. Expected output: an answer with inline citations to wiki pages or inbox notes. Verify that every cited source exists under `graybox pages` and that the answer does not claim facts beyond those sources.",
 "agents": [
  "any"
 ],
 "difficulty": "Beginner",
 "time": "15 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "Answers are grounded only in captured notes, and when the wiki has no strong match the tool may fall back to unorganized inbox captures with a warning.",
