Promote existing research into a canonical article under `articles/` in a Knowledge Base project (the `knowledge-base` starter pack). Read when a decision has actually been made and the team wants the source-of-truth written down, or when asked to consolidate, canonicalize, promote research, or supersede an older article. Carries the decision-confirmation gate, the `supersedes:` chain that keeps the evidence trail intact, and the canonical voice. Does not conduct new research — that is the sibli

/open-knowledgeskill (read/write/preview/linking/grounding rules) still governs every markdown operation — this layers the procedure on top.
Promote existing research on a topic into a canonical article under articles/. Canonical, not provisional — the output is the source of truth for future agents, not a snapshot of uncertainty.
The content directory is the resolved content.dir — read it with config({ key: 'content.dir' }) if you don't already know it. Paths below are relative to it.
Legacy reads: Existing research and articles may use status: provisional / canonical, and existing sources: may contain string paths. Treat those as draft / stable and source resources. Do not mass-rewrite them; new writes use the OKF forms below.
Consolidation is promotion, not creation. If the team hasn't decided, the resulting "canonical" article lies about the team's state of understanding — future agents read it, act on it, and the false certainty compounds.
Before any write, confirm out loud with the user:
If the decision is still open, do not consolidate. Tell the user: "The research is still provisional. When the team decides, come back and consolidate with the outcome." Then stop.
Do NOT consolidate when:
A consolidated article is the source of truth. Agents reading it should not need to dig further for context — it should stand on its own. That means:
