SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

OpenViking stores a wide range of contextual knowledge across memories, skills, and resources, making it difficult to locate relevant information on demand. ov-search-context provides a fast, context-aware mechanism to retrieve the most pertinent data when you need it.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Context-aware discovery across memories, skills, and resources using semantic search and directory traversal.
  • Sub-commands for exploration: ov ls, ov tree, ov find, ov grep, ov glob, ov read, ov overview, ov abstract.
  • Use Case: When preparing a project handoff or debugging, search across stored notes and docs to surface relevant context quickly.

Quick Start

Run ov search "API latency" to retrieve the most relevant context from OV.

FAQPage Schema
How do I search across scattered memories and resources to find relevant context?

You can locate relevant context across memories, skills, and resources by running a semantic search or directory traversal command. It quickly retrieves pertinent data on demand when knowledge is scattered across storage.

What is the best way to retrieve project notes and docs for a handoff or debugging?

The best way to retrieve project notes and docs for handoffs or debugging is running a context-aware search across stored data. This surfaces relevant context quickly by applying semantic search and explicit term queries to your scattered knowledge.

How do I list and traverse directories of stored skills and resources using the ov CLI?

To list and traverse directories of stored skills and resources, use ov CLI sub-commands like ls for listing and tree for directory traversal. These commands help you explore the structure of your stored knowledge base.

Can I read and extract abstracts from specific context files without opening the full documents?

Yes, you can extract abstracts and read specific context files without opening full documents. The ov CLI provides read and abstract sub-commands to retrieve targeted file contents and high-level overviews directly.

Does context-aware search work with explicit term queries like grep and find?

Yes, context-aware search supports explicit term queries through grep and find sub-commands. This allows you to locate specific text patterns and files within memories, skills, and resources for precise data retrieval.

Do I need any external dependencies to run context-aware searches across my stored knowledge?

No external dependencies are required to run context-aware searches across your stored knowledge. The retrieval mechanism operates independently using the ov CLI and its built-in sub-commands to access memories, skills, and resources.
