Knowledge-base research

When to use this skill

• The user asks "find/look up/research" something specifically inside their knowledge base.
• The user references documents, notes, repos, or connector data they expect to exist already.
• A multi-document synthesis is required (e.g., "summarize what we've discussed about X across all my notes").

Plan

1. Decompose the user's question into 2-4 specific, citation-worthy sub-questions.
2. For each sub-question, run one targeted KB search (focused on terms the user would have written, not synonyms). Open the most relevant 2-3 documents fully via read_file if their excerpts are too short.
3. Use grep to find supporting passages in long files instead of re-reading them end to end.
4. Cite every claim with the [n] label shown on the passage you used (search results and read_file output both carry them); never write a chunk id, URL, or title yourself.

What good output looks like

• Short paragraphs with inline citations.
• Quoted phrases when wording matters.
• An explicit "Not found in your knowledge base" callout when a sub-question has no support — never fabricate.
