# /search — General vault retrieval ## Purpose First-class retrieval skill that answers both **what** and **why** questions across all knowledge layers in the OneBrain vault. Distinct from existing skills: - `/distill` synthesizes a topic into a *new persisted note* (write); /search is read-only - `/recap` promotes session insights to *memory/* (write); /search is read-only - Direct qmd query gives content matches; /search ranks by question type and surfaces decision chains ## Sources searched (in order of relevance) 1. `[agent_folder]/MEMORY.md` — always-loaded persona/active-projects 2. `[agent_folder]/memory/*.md` — match via MEMORY-INDEX topics 3. `[logs_folder]/session/**/*-session-*.md` — past session logs 4. `[projects_folder]/**/*.md` — project notes including embedded specs/plans/design docs 5. Project tracker decisions log tables (project MOCs under `[projects_folder]/`) 6. Vault notes (`[knowledge_folder]/`, `[resources_folder]/`, `[areas_folder]/`) 7. `[logs_folder]/checkpoint/*.md` — in-session-state recovery (for current-day questions) ## Tools used - **qmd lex+vec+hyde** if `qmd_collection` is configured in onebrain.yml (preferred) - **Glob + Grep fallback** if qmd unavailable - **Heuristic question-type detection**: matches `^why\b` (or the agent's bilingual intent inference on non-English equivalents) → "why mode"; else → "what mode" ## Output format — what mode For "what is X" / "what's the current state of X" questions, synthesize a direct answer +
