SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps users quickly locate notes, topics, and content within a knowledge base by leveraging README.md indexes, filename pattern searches, and deep content scanning, reducing time spent on manual digging.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured navigation using curated README.md indexes to discover relevant sections and files.
  • Pattern-based search to locate files by name patterns and dates (e.g., transformer, 2025-10).
  • Deep content search for precise text matches across notes, topics, and documents, with governance checks.
  • Useful in scenarios like finding all notes about a topic, locating a file by partial name, or answering "where is" questions.

Quick Start

Use the search-content skill to locate notes about transformers in Research/AI or across the knowledge base. Example: "Find notes about attention mechanism in Research/AI." or "Search for 'privacy' in Work/Projects."
