Description
Search Obsidian memories by keyword and concept

Recall

Search stored memories using keyword/concept matching.

Workflow

  1. Parse the search query from $ARGUMENTS

    • If no arguments provided, ask what to search for
  2. Determine search strategy:

    • Content search: Grep for query in memory file content
    • Concept search: Grep for query in frontmatter concepts
    • Type filter: Optionally narrow to specific memory type folder
  3. Execute searches in <vault>/Areas/AI/Memory:

    # Content search
    Grep pattern="$QUERY" path="<vault>/Areas/AI/Memory" glob="*.md"
    
    # Concept search (frontmatter)
    Grep pattern="concepts:.*$QUERY" path="<vault>/Areas/AI/Memory" glob="*.md"
    
    # Type-filtered (if specified)
    Grep pattern="$QUERY" path="<vault>/Areas/AI/Memory/Strategic" glob="*.md"
    
  4. Read the matching files (up to limit, default 10)

  5. Sort by importance if multiple results

  6. Present findings:

    • "Found X memories about [topic]..."
    • Summarize top 2-3 findings
    • Note memory types and importance
    • Mention if more results available

Search Parameters

| Parameter | Default | Description | |-----------|---------|-------------| | Query | required | Search terms | | Limit | 10 | Max results to read | | Type | all | Filter: episodic/semantic/procedural/strategic |

Search Patterns

# General content search
Grep pattern="metatron" path="<vault>/Areas/AI/Memory" glob="*.md"

# Concept frontmatter search
Grep pattern="concepts:.*interview" path="<vault>/Areas/AI/Memory" glob="*.md"

# Type-filtered search
Grep pattern="deploy" path="<vault>/Areas/AI/Memory/Procedural" glob="*.md"

# High importance only
Grep pattern="importance: 0\\.[89]" path="<vault>/Areas/AI/Memory" glob="*.md"

# Recent memories (Glob sorts by mtime)
Glob pattern="Areas/AI/Memory/**/*.md" path="<vault>"

Examples

User: /recall hexis integration -> Search content and concepts for "hexis" and "integration" -> Present matching memories with type and importance

User: /recall deployment procedural -> Search in Areas/AI/Memory/Procedural/ for "deployment" -> Focus on how-to memories

User: /recall -> Ask: "What would you like to search for?"

Response Format

Present findings conversationally:

  • "Found X memories about [topic]..."
  • Summarize the most relevant 2-3 findings
  • Note memory types and importance levels
  • Mention if there are more results available
  • Offer to read specific memories in full if needed
