Entry point for the epistemology toolkit. Routes to the right skill based on your situation. Use when you say 'what do I actually know here', 'is this knowable', 'how certain should I be', 'what would justify believing this', 'what kind of claim is this', 'am I confusing assumption with knowledge', 'what are the limits of what we can establish', or want philosophical rigor applied to questions of knowledge without knowing which specific tool fits.

# Epistemology

Applies philosophical analysis to the nature, structure, and limits of knowledge. Diagnoses what kind of epistemic work is needed and routes to the right tool.

Epistemology is the meta-layer: not "is this claim true?" but "what kind of truth could this claim even have? What would justify believing it? How certain can we actually be?" It's most useful when you've hit a wall with ordinary investigation — when more evidence-gathering won't settle things, when you're not sure what *kind* of knowing is in play, or when you want honest calibration rather than confident-sounding output.

## Which tool fits

| You need to... | Tool |
|---|---|
| Map what *kind* of knowing is in play | epistemology-knowledge-types |
| Work out what would actually *justify* believing something | epistemology-justification |
| Get honest calibration: what do I know vs. believe vs. assume vs. hope? | epistemology-epistemic-status |
| Find out what can't be known, and why — and what *can* be established | epistemology-limits |
