## When to use it [#when-to-use-it]

**Use when:** "show me the library" · "find research about X" · "show me artifact X"

**Also use when:** context-assembly needs to explain why an artifact was included

## When not to use it [#when-not-to-use-it]

you want repo files (list\_files) or specs (get\_spec\_context/spec\_view); to WRITE the Library — strata19.library\_manage; or the LINK graph for an artifact — strata19.library\_links
