FAQPage Schema
How do I quickly look up my calendar schedule and check if I am free?

To look up your calendar schedule, query the skill with phrases like 'What is my schedule for today?' or 'Am I free?' to retrieve fast factual results. It resolves dates to YYYY-MM-DD format and searches across configured memory and context providers.

What is the best way to find when I last met a specific person using memory context?

Finding when you last met someone involves querying context sources with 'When did I last meet X?' to retrieve factual profile and meeting data. The skill applies an index-first search pattern to route queries across memory, journal, and configured legacy providers.

Can I retrieve upcoming task owners and deadlines from journal sources?

You can retrieve upcoming task owners and deadlines by asking the skill for task and initiative context. It leverages journal sources using an index-first pattern to provide decision support regarding related owners and deadlines.

Do I need configured MCP providers to search organizational context?

You need configured MCP or legacy providers to search organizational context effectively. The skill interoperates with memory, tasks, journal, and contexts through these configured providers to retrieve knowledge and answer queries like 'What do I know about X?'.

How does the index-first search pattern work for context queries?

The index-first search pattern works by routing queries across memory, journal, and context sources to provide fast factual lookups. It applies to questions involving calendar, schedule, tasks, people, and organizational context retrieval.

What are the limitations of using this approach for schedule lookups?

Limitations include dependency on configured MCP or legacy providers for context retrieval, meaning the skill cannot access schedule or memory data without prior provider setup. It focuses on fast factual lookups rather than complex analysis.
