Search Strategy

  1. Get the query: What is the user looking for?

  2. Determine scope:

    • Specific file (learnings about X)
    • All memory files
    • Date range (episodes from last week)

  3. Search methods:

# Search all memory files
grep -rni "search term" ~/.claude-mind/memory/

# Search specific file
grep -ni "search term" ~/.claude-mind/memory/learnings.md

# Search episodes by date
ls ~/.claude-mind/memory/episodes/
cat ~/.claude-mind/memory/episodes/2025-01-*.md

# Search reflections
grep -rni "search term" ~/.claude-mind/memory/reflections/
  1. Present findings: Show relevant excerpts with context and dates

Output Format

When presenting results:

  • Include the date of each finding
  • Show enough context to understand the entry
  • Group by source file if searching multiple
  • Highlight the most relevant matches first

Example Queries

  • "What did I learn about AppleScript?" → Search learnings.md
  • "Why did we choose X over Y?" → Search decisions.md
  • "What happened last Tuesday?" → Check episodes/2025-01-XX.md
  • "What do I know about E's preferences?" → Read about-e.md
