karpathy-wiki read

You loaded this skill because the user asked a question (per Iron Rule 4 in the loader: NO ANSWERING ANY USER QUESTION WITHOUT ORIENTING FIRST). Your job is to determine whether the wiki covers the answer, retrieve the coverage, and either cite-and-answer from the wiki or fall through to web search — without ever pre-classifying the question as "wiki-irrelevant."

The 6-step ladder

Every step is deterministic. There is no agent judgement at branch points; each branch is gated on a counted or boolean condition.

Step A — Orient

Read these files in order:

1. <wiki>/schema.md — taxonomy, conventions, thresholds.
2. The relevant <wiki>/<category>/_index.md for the question's apparent topic. If the question crosses categories or you cannot tell which category applies, read <wiki>/index.md (the root MOC).

If you have already oriented earlier in this session, skip to Step B — the schema and index content are already in your working memory. Orientation is once per session.

Step B — Count signal-matching candidates
