SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Project knowledge scattered across meeting notes is hard to recall — who owns what, what was decided, and when. This Skill searches accumulated project notes and structured indices to answer questions about people, decisions, technologies, and timelines with cited sources. ## Core Features & Use Cases - People & Decision Queries: Find who works on what, when decisions were made, and the context behind them using _index.json data. - Cross-Project Search: Aggregate answers across all projects or scope queries to a single project folder. - Timeline & Action Items: Summarize recent activity, open tasks, and follow-ups from dated notes. - Use Case: Ask "what was decided about the checkout API?" and receive a chronological table of decisions with links to the source meeting notes. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant a question like "who works on frontend in my-work project?" to search the project notes and get a cited answer.

FAQPage Schema
How do I search project meeting notes for past decisions?▼

Ask a question like "what was decided about the API?" and the Skill searches the decisions array in each project's _index.json, returning results chronologically with context and links to source notes.

How to find out who works on a specific project topic?▼

Ask a people query such as "who works on frontend?" The Skill fuzzy-matches names in the team section of _index.json and reports roles, first and last seen dates, and relevant meetings.

Can I search notes across multiple projects at once?▼

Yes, cross-project queries read _index.json from every project folder in the projects directory, search all indices, and aggregate findings grouped by project with references.

What happens if a project has no _index.json file?▼

The Skill falls back to searching raw Markdown files directly, using filename date patterns and common note sections. It informs you the index is missing and suggests running /pavilio-bootstrap to generate one.

Does the answer include references to source notes?▼

Yes, every response cites specific notes with dates and links. The Skill also acknowledges when information might be outdated and suggests related follow-up queries.
