SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires bun, python3.10+, sqlite3, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill enables AI-powered semantic search within your personal knowledge vault, allowing you to find information based on meaning and context rather than just keywords.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Meaning-Based Search: Find notes related by concept, not just exact wording (e.g., "PLG" finds "product-led growth").
  • Smart Collection Discovery: Automatically identifies relevant sub-sections of your vault (like people, meetings, projects) to create targeted search indexes.
  • Enhanced Skills: Integrates seamlessly with other skills like /daily-plan and /meeting-prep to provide richer, context-aware results.
  • Use Case: When preparing for a meeting, semantic search can surface past discussions about similar topics or related individuals, even if the exact names or keywords aren't used in your query.

Quick Start
