.claude/skills/search-content/# Search Content Skill Navigate and search the knowledge base efficiently using AkashicRecords directory governance structure. ## When to use this Skill - User asks "where is", "find", "search for" - User queries file locations - User looks for specific topics or content - User needs to navigate knowledge base - User asks "do I have notes about..." ## Workflow ### 1. Analyze Query **Parse user request**: - Extract keywords and topics - Identify search scope (specific directory or entire knowledge base) - Determine search type (filename, content, topic, date-based) - Assess query specificity (exact match vs fuzzy search) **Examples**: ``` "Where are my transformer notes?" → Topic search, keyword: "transformer" "Find files modified last week" → Date-based search "Search for 'attention mechanism' in Research" → Content search, scoped to Research/ "List all meeting notes from October" → Category + date search ``` ### 2. Choose Search Strategy Select appropriate strategy based on query: #### Strategy 1: Structured Navigation (Preferred) **When to use**: - Query mentions directory names (Work, Research, Personal, etc.) - Looking for specific categories or types - Query has clear organizational clues **Method**: - Start at root README.md or specified directory - Follow directory index structure - Use README.md files as curated navigation guides - Narrow down systematically **Advantages**: - Fast and efficient - Leverages existing organization - Follows curated structure #### Strategy 2: Pattern Search **When to use**: - Looking for filenames matching patterns - User provides specific naming clues - Need to find files by naming convention **Method**: - Use Glob for filename patterns: `**/*keyword*.md` - Filter by date if needed: files modified in last N days - Use multiple patterns for comprehensive search **Advantages**: - Direct filename matching - Fast for filename-based queries - Good for date-based searches #### Strategy 3: Deep Content Search **When to
