SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Finding specific information in a large, unstructured knowledge base can be time-consuming and frustrating. Users often forget where they saved something or what keywords to use, leading to wasted time and duplicated effort.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Multi-Strategy Search: Combines structured navigation (using README.md indexes), pattern matching (filenames), and deep content search (text within files) for comprehensive and accurate results.
  • Intelligent Ranking: Ranks results by relevance, recency, and location, ensuring you see the most useful information first, saving you time scrolling.
  • Governance-Aware: Respects RULE.md access restrictions, ensuring only authorized content is displayed, maintaining privacy and security.
  • Use Case: Ask "Where are my notes on quantum computing from last month?" The Skill will search across relevant directories, filter by date, and present a ranked list of documents with context snippets, respecting any privacy rules, so you get exactly what you need, fast.

FAQPage Schema
How do I search for specific content across my entire knowledge base?

Search Content locates files, topics, and content using directory governance and README-based navigation. It combines structured navigation, pattern matching on filenames, and deep text search within files to return ranked results by relevance and recency across your whole knowledge base.

Can I search within specific directories or do I have to search everything?

Search Content applies to queries across specific directories or the entire knowledge base. You can scope searches to particular folders, and the Skill respects RULE.md access restrictions, ensuring only authorized content appears in results.

What happens when I search for old notes—does it filter by date?

Search Content ranks results by relevance, recency, and location. When you ask for notes from a specific timeframe, the Skill filters by date metadata and presents the most useful information first, with context snippets to help you identify what you need.

How does the Skill handle private or restricted content during searches?

Search Content respects RULE.md governance rules that define access restrictions. It filters results to show only authorized content, maintaining privacy and security while ensuring you see everything you're permitted to access.

What types of queries does this Skill understand?

Search Content handles queries such as 'where is', 'find', 'search for', or 'do I have notes about'. It applies multiple search strategies—Structured Navigation using README indexes, Pattern Search on filenames, and Deep Content Search within file text—to interpret your intent accurately.

Does this work if my knowledge base has no README or organizational structure?

Search Content combines multiple strategies: structured navigation via README.md indexes, pattern matching on filenames, and deep content search through file text. Even without README files, pattern and content searches deliver results, though README indexes enhance accuracy and ranking when present.
