# Journey: RAG Stage 3g of the guided journey. Create RAG collections and ingest initial documents. ## When to use - Dispatched by `journey` when `current_stage: rag`. - Directly via `/butterbase-skills:journey-rag`. - Skipped (annotated `(n/a)`) if the plan has no RAG section. ## Preflight If `docs/butterbase/03-preflight.md` is missing, older than 24 hours, or `00-state.md` has `app_id: null`, invoke `butterbase-skills:journey-preflight` first.
