migraine
Let an agent explain migraine and its types in general terms, route red-flag headaches to urgent care, describe management approaches with attribution, and support people living with migraine without individual medical advice.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain migraine and its types in general terms, route red-flag headaches to urgent care, describe management approaches with attribution, and support people living with migraine without individual medical advice.
A neurological condition causing recurrent headaches, often one-sided and throbbing, with symptoms such as nausea and sensitivity to light and sound, occurring with or without aura and in variants such as vestibular, hemiplegic and ophthalmoplegic migraine, with a genetic component and identified triggers; migraine is common, disabling and managed with acute and preventive treatments under clinical guidelines.
What it is for: A common neurological headache condition.
It can be explain migraine types and mechanisms; route red-flag headaches to care; describe management approaches; support self-management and work adjustments.
