second-brain-query

To query your Second Brain vault safely, this Skill retrieves information in read-only mode without writing or modifying any Markdown files. It uses Basic Memory search with an optional reindex before falling back to Grep, returning synthesized results with wikilink citations.

The best way to find existing notes is using a read-only vault query. It searches your Second Brain for relevant pages, provides domain-placement routing advice, and returns synthesized results with wikilink citations to help you navigate existing knowledge.

No, you cannot use this to write new information or perform web searches. This Skill is strictly read-only and avoids web searches and writes entirely. It explicitly hands off to the ingest workflow for any vault writes or web expansion tasks.

The search mechanism works by using Basic Memory search first, with one search-only reindex to repair local indexes if needed, before falling back to Grep methods. It indexes for navigation only and returns synthesized results with wikilink citations for wiki pages.

To determine where a topic should live, this Skill uses a domain-placement mode that provides read-only routing advice for topic queries. It guides you on structuring your Second Brain without writing any vault Markdown files.
