ki-search-first

What problem does it solve? Engineers repeatedly re-investigate problems that were already solved and documented in project memory, and code changes often break cross-module contracts because hidden dependencies were never checked. This Skill enforces a memory-first workflow so prior knowledge is consulted before any task begins. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Memory-First Retrieval: Runs ki_search against project memory as the mandatory first step for any task or question, using natural-language problem descriptions. - Graceful Degradation: Falls back to the expert-lookup and solution-lookup reuse path (expert-solution-workflow) when memory has no sufficient answer. - Strong-Association Checks: When code is located or modified, queries strong-association relationships of the changed module to identify affected consumers and contract partners. - Use Case: Before fixing an order-timeout bug, the agent searches project memory, finds a prior postmortem pointing to the exact handler, and after editing the data source module, checks which consumer modules must be updated in tandem. ## Quick Start Before working on my task, search the project memory with ki_search for anything related to this problem and tell me what you find.
