SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Finding specific pages and information inside a large personal knowledge base is difficult when you only have raw keyword search. This Skill helps you locate pages and run structured queries against the GBrain brain so you get answers instead of digging through notes manually.

Core Features & Use Cases

Page Lookup: Find a specific page in the brain when you know roughly what you are looking for.
Brain Queries: Run search and query operations against the knowledge base without writing any pages.
Use Case: You remember taking notes about a company last month but cannot recall the page title. Trigger this Skill to search the brain and surface the matching page.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to find a page in the brain about a person, company, or topic you remember writing down.
