MUST check before starting any debugging session, investigating unfamiliar code, or planning a feature that might have been attempted before. Searches past solutions in knowledge/solutions/ to prevent repeated mistakes. Designed to be fast (<30s). Trigger proactively: before ANY bug investigation, before implementing patterns that feel like they should already exist, or when the user says "this looks familiar", "have we seen this", "check knowledge". Not for capturing — use compound-capture for that.
