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 headache types and classification in general terms, relay guidance on when to seek care from medical bodies, describe common management approaches as documented, and route personal questions to clinicians.

Pain in the head or upper neck, one of the most common symptoms, classified into primary headaches such as migraine, tension-type and cluster headache, and secondary headaches caused by other conditions, with many described patterns such as frontal, nummular, new daily persistent and primary stabbing headache; headaches are classified by the International Headache Society and this entry gives general information, not personal medical advice.

What it is for: Pain in the head.

It can be explain types and classification; relay when to seek care; describe documented management; route personal questions.
