description: Query the SecondBrain vault knowledge graph for cross-project evergreen knowledge — conventions, tool behavior, client facts, patterns that generalize beyond one repo
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
**Scope:** vault at `~/Documents/SecondBrain` — cross-project evergreen knowledge, not codebase structure. For codebase structure and module relationships in the current repo, use `memory-project`.
|
|
|
|
Use this skill when you need to retrieve evergreen knowledge from the SecondBrain vault (conventions, tool/API behavior, client facts, cross-project patterns). For **episodic questions** ("what did we do last week", "when did X happen"), use memsearch instead.
|
|
|
|
## Query commands
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Explore a topic (start here)
|
|
graphify query "<topic>" --budget 2000
|
|
|
|
# Trace a relationship between two notes
|
|
graphify path "<note-a>" "<note-b>"
|
|
|
|
# Deep-dive a specific node
|
|
graphify explain "<node-name>"
|
|
|
|
# Bounded depth-first traversal
|
|
graphify query "<topic>" --dfs --budget 2000
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Tag-scoped retrieval (separate path — use with caution)
|
|
|
|
Facet-tag-based graph traversal is **not yet verified** (ADR-014 open). Whether shared facet tags (e.g. `client/acme`) create graph edges is unknown. Treat tag-based filtering as a distinct, experimental path — do not assume it works like graph traversal.
|
|
|
|
For tag-scoped queries, try:
|
|
```bash
|
|
graphify query "client/acme" --budget 2000
|
|
```
|
|
…and verify the results are actually tag-filtered before trusting them.
|
|
|
|
## Episodic questions → memsearch
|
|
|
|
For questions about sessions, events, or time-ordered history, use memsearch directly with natural language — do not use graphify for episodic retrieval.
|
|
|
|
## Writing to vault
|
|
|
|
Use `memory-write` when knowledge generalizes beyond the current repo. Routing heuristic: "Would this be useful outside this repo, next year?" If yes → vault via `memory-write`. If no → project-graph only (no persistent write needed). See `~/.claude/CLAUDE.md` for the full routing rule.
