What Foundry Ask does
Answer a research question using the Foundry vault, with read-only access to any companion vault configured in CLAUDE.md.
**Before doing anything**, read `CLAUDE.md` at the vault root for the full rules of engagement.
Scope
`$ARGUMENTS` is the question to answer.
If `$ARGUMENTS` is empty, open `wiki/_meta/index.md` and pick the oldest entry in the **Open Questions** list. If that list is empty too, say so and stop — don't invent a question.
