# mnemo:ask — Vault Knowledge Search & Synthesis Search across the entire vault, read relevant notes, and synthesize an answer with source citations. ## Prerequisites & config Obsidian must be open. Config at `~/.mnemo/config.json` — reads `vault` and `links_section`. Full schema in `references/config-schema.md`. If missing, ask the user for vault name and save. ## Workflow ### Step 1: Accept Query Input as argument: `/mnemo:ask "what did we decide about pricing strategy?"` If no argument, ask: "What would you like to find in your vault?" ### Step 2: Extract Search Terms Break query into 2-4 key search terms. Example: - "what did we decide about pricing strategy?" → ["pricing", "strategy", "decision"] ### Step 3: Search Vault (parallel) **Run all searches in parallel — single assistant message with multiple Bash tool uses.** For 4 terms this takes ~180ms total instead of ~720ms sequential. ```bash obsidian search query="{term1}" vault="{vault}" obsidian search query="{term2}" vault="{vault}" obsidian search query="{term3}" vault="{vault}" obsidian search query="{term4}" vault="{vault}" ``` Collect all unique matching notes. Deduplicate. ### Step 3b: Also check Claude's memory/ index (not just Obsidian) Obsidian = user-facing knowledge; **`memory/`** (MEMORY.md + topic files) = Claude-facing technical context (gotchas, decisions, sessions) in a separate store. For recall queries ("what did we decide / how did we do X"), also scan the project's memory index — the
