SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Find and surface relevant conversations from stored LLM interactions using semantic search.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Find relevant past conversations or sessions
  • Recall context from previous LLM interactions
  • Search through historical data stored in the tapes telemetry system
  • Locate specific discussions or topics from past sessions

Quick Start

Run a semantic search over stored sessions with your query to surface relevant conversations.

FAQPage Schema
How do I perform semantic search over past LLM sessions?

To perform semantic search over past LLM sessions, you run a query against the stored session data. The skill uses an embedding provider to convert your query into a vector and surfaces relevant conversations from the historical telemetry data.

What do I need to retrieve context from historical LLM interactions?

To retrieve context from historical LLM interactions, you need a running vector store like Chroma with indexed session data, an embedding provider like Ollama for query vectorization, and a SQLite database containing the stored session telemetry.

Can I use this to find specific discussions within stored LLM telemetry?

Yes, you can locate specific discussions or topics within stored LLM telemetry. It indexes past interactions, allowing you to search through historical data and recall exact context from previous sessions based on semantic similarity.

Does semantic search for past conversations work with SQLite and Chroma?

Yes, semantic search for past conversations works with SQLite and Chroma. SQLite stores the session data, while Chroma acts as the vector store to index embeddings, enabling the retrieval of relevant past interactions.

How does an embedding provider like Ollama convert search queries for past sessions?

An embedding provider like Ollama converts your textual search query into a numerical vector. This vector is then compared against indexed session data in the vector store to find and surface semantically relevant past LLM conversations.

What are the limitations of searching past LLM sessions with this approach?

The main limitation is the dependency on external infrastructure; the semantic search requires a pre-configured vector store, an active embedding provider, and a populated SQLite database to successfully surface relevant past conversations.
