mneme-search

mneme-search

When the user asks a question that sounds like recall from prior work or notes, search the vault first instead of guessing.

When to invoke

• "Did we decide X?"
• "What was the conclusion about Y?"
• "Show me everything I have on Z."
• The user types /mneme:search directly (when that surface exists).

How to invoke

Call the mneme_search MCP tool with:

• query: the user's question in natural language.
• top_k: 5 by default. Raise to 10 only when the user asks for a broad sweep.
• Optional filters.date_from / filters.date_to when the user scopes their question to a specific time window.

Inspect the returned hits. Each has path, title, snippet, and a relevance score. Read the snippets first. If they answer the question, cite the path and reply. If they only partially answer, follow up with mneme_recall on the most promising paths to pull the full body.

What not to do

• Do not invoke this for the user's first hello or for questions whose answer is general knowledge.
• Do not search for the same query twice in a row. If the first pass returned nothing useful, refine the query terms or change the filter window.
• Do not present raw snippets in your reply unless the user explicitly asks for them. Summarize and link.
