Memory Search

Search through accumulated memory files for past learnings, decisions, observations, and episodes.

Memory Locations

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/

4. 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
