+# Unified Lookup Tool & Wikipedia Integration — Implementation Plan
+
+> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
+
+**Goal:** Replace `search_web` with a unified `lookup` tool (Wikipedia-first, SearXNG fallback) and add Wikipedia as a source in the research pipeline.
+
+**Architecture:** New `wikipedia.py` service with `wiki_summary` and `wiki_search`. `lookup` tool in `web.py` replaces `search_web`. Research pipeline in `research.py` gains Wikipedia sources alongside SearXNG. All `search_web` references across the codebase are updated.
+
+**Tech Stack:** Python 3.12, httpx, pytest, asyncio

+# Unified Lookup Tool & Wikipedia Integration
+
+## Goal
+
+Replace the fragmented `search_web` tool with a single `lookup` tool that checks Wikipedia first and falls back to SearXNG web search. Add Wikipedia as an additional source in the research pipeline. Result: one lightweight tool for factual questions (always available, no config required), and richer research output.
+
+## Architecture
+
+Two changes to the search/knowledge stack:
+
+1. **New `lookup` tool** replaces `search_web`. Tries Wikipedia REST API summary endpoint first (~200ms, reliable, no config). Falls back to SearXNG + trafilatura article fetch when Wikipedia misses and SearXNG is configured. Always available (no `requires` field).
+
+2. **Wikipedia sources in research pipeline.** During sub-query execution, `wiki_search` runs alongside `_search_searxng`. Wikipedia articles merge into the source pool and get deduplicated by URL.
+
+Shared Wikipedia logic lives in a new `wikipedia.py` service module.
+
+## Components
+
+### `src/fabledassistant/services/wikipedia.py` (new)
+
+Two async functions:
+
+**`wiki_summary(query: str) -> dict | None`**
+- Direct title lookup via `https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/summary/{title}`
+- Returns `{"title": str, "extract": str, "url": str}` on hit
+- Returns `None` on 404, disambiguation pages (`"type": "disambiguation"`), network errors, or empty extracts
+- 5-second timeout
+- User-Agent: `"FabledAssistant/1.0 (https://fabledsword.com)"`
+
+**`wiki_search(query: str, limit: int = 3) -> list[dict]`**
+- Search via `https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=search&srsearch={query}&srlimit={limit}&format=json`
+- For each search result, fetch its summary via the summary endpoint to get the extract
+- Returns `[{"title": str, "extract": str, "url": str}, ...]`
+- Returns `[]` on any failure
+- Same timeout and User-Agent as above
+
+### `src/fabledassistant/services/tools/web.py` (modified)
+
+**Remove:** `search_web_tool`
+
+**Add:** `lookup_tool`
+
+```
+@tool(
+    name="lookup",
+    description="Look up a topic, concept, or factual question. Returns a concise
+                 answer from Wikipedia or web sources. Use for definitions,
+                 explanations, 'what is X', 'how does Y work'. For comprehensive
+                 written reports saved as notes, use research_topic instead.",
+    parameters={
+        "query": {"type": "string", "description": "The topic or question to look up"},
+    },
+    required=["query"],
+)
+```
+
+No `requires` field — always available.
+
+**Logic:**
+1. Call `wiki_summary(query)`
+2. If Wikipedia returns a result: return `{"success": True, "type": "lookup", "source": "wikipedia", "data": {"title": ..., "extract": ..., "url": ...}}`
+3. If Wikipedia misses and `Config.searxng_enabled()`:
+   - Call `_search_searxng(query)` to get search results
+   - Fetch top 1-2 result URLs via `_fetch_full_article` (from `rss.py`, trafilatura-based)
+   - Return `{"success": True, "type": "lookup", "source": "web", "data": {"query": ..., "results": [...], "content": ...}}`
+4. If Wikipedia misses and no SearXNG: return `{"success": True, "type": "lookup", "source": "none", "data": {"query": ..., "message": "No results found. You can answer from your own knowledge."}}`
+
+### `src/fabledassistant/services/research.py` (modified)
+
+**In Step 2 (parallel search):**
+- For each sub-query, run `wiki_search(query, limit=1)` concurrently with `_search_searxng(query)`
+- Merge Wikipedia results into the per-query result list
+
+**In Step 3 (deduplication):**
+- When deduplicating URLs, Wikipedia URLs (`wikipedia.org`) are checked against SearXNG results
+- If a Wikipedia article URL already appears in SearXNG results, skip the duplicate
+
+**Wikipedia article content for synthesis:**
+- The `extract` from `wiki_search` is used as the source content (no additional fetch needed, unlike SearXNG URLs which require `fetch_url_content`)
+- This means Wikipedia sources are available immediately without an HTTP fetch step
+
+## Error Handling
+
+- All Wikipedia API failures (network, timeout, malformed JSON) return `None`/`[]` silently
+- `lookup` never raises — always returns a response the model can work with
+- In the research pipeline, Wikipedia is purely additive; its failure never degrades existing SearXNG-based research
+- Disambiguation pages are detected via `"type": "disambiguation"` in the summary response and treated as a miss
+
+## Testing
+
+### `tests/test_wikipedia.py` (new)
+
+- `test_wiki_summary_returns_extract` — mock successful summary response, verify return shape
+- `test_wiki_summary_returns_none_on_404` — mock 404, verify `None`
+- `test_wiki_summary_returns_none_on_disambiguation` — mock disambiguation response, verify `None`
+- `test_wiki_search_returns_results` — mock search API + summary fetches, verify list
+- `test_wiki_search_returns_empty_on_failure` — mock network error, verify `[]`
+
+### `tests/test_lookup_tool.py` (new)
+
+- `test_lookup_wikipedia_hit` — mock `wiki_summary` returning data, verify tool returns wikipedia source
+- `test_lookup_wikipedia_miss_searxng_fallback` — mock `wiki_summary` returning None, SearXNG returning results + article fetch, verify web source
+- `test_lookup_wikipedia_miss_no_searxng` — mock both missing, verify graceful "no results" response
+- `test_lookup_always_available` — verify the tool appears in `get_tools_for_user` regardless of SearXNG config
+
+### `tests/test_research_pipeline.py` (add to existing)
+
+- `test_research_includes_wikipedia_sources` — mock `wiki_search` alongside SearXNG, verify Wikipedia results appear in source pool
+
+All tests mock HTTP calls — no live API hits.
+
+## What Doesn't Change
+
+- `read_article` tool — stays as-is (explicit URL fetch, different purpose)
+- `research_topic` tool definition — stays as-is (same name, description, parameters)
+- `generation_task.py` research interception — stays as-is
+- `search_images` tool — stays as-is
+- `_search_searxng` and `_search_searxng_images` — stay as-is
+- `_fetch_full_article` in `rss.py` — stays as-is, reused by `lookup` for SearXNG fallback
