* feat: add mem-search skill with progressive disclosure architecture
Add comprehensive mem-search skill for accessing claude-mem's persistent
cross-session memory database. Implements progressive disclosure workflow
and token-efficient search patterns.
Features:
- 12 search operations (observations, sessions, prompts, by-type, by-concept, by-file, timelines, etc.)
- Progressive disclosure principles to minimize token usage
- Anti-patterns documentation to guide LLM behavior
- HTTP API integration for all search functionality
- Common workflows with composition examples
Structure:
- SKILL.md: Entry point with temporal trigger patterns
- principles/: Progressive disclosure + anti-patterns
- operations/: 12 search operation files

* feat: Add comprehensive search architecture analysis document
- Document current state of dual search architectures (HTTP API and MCP)
- Analyze HTTP endpoints and MCP search server architectures
- Identify DRY violations across search implementations
- Evaluate the use of curl as the optimal approach for search
- Provide architectural recommendations for immediate and long-term improvements
- Outline action plan for cleanup, feature parity, DRY refactoring
* refactor: Remove deprecated search skill documentation and operations
* refactor: Reorganize documentation into public and context directories
Changes:
- Created docs/public/ for Mintlify documentation (.mdx files)
- Created docs/context/ for internal planning and implementation docs
- Moved all .mdx files and assets to docs/public/
- Moved all internal .md files to docs/context/
- Added CLAUDE.md to both directories explaining their purpose
- Updated docs.json paths to work with new structure
Benefits:
- Clear separation between user-facing and internal documentation
- Easier to maintain Mintlify docs in dedicated directory
- Internal context files organized separately
