Alex Newman ca4f046777 feat: Add search skill with progressive disclosure and refactor existing skills
Enhancements:
- Added search skill with 10 HTTP API endpoints for memory queries
- Refactored version-bump and troubleshoot skills using progressive disclosure pattern
- Added operations/ subdirectories for detailed skill documentation
- Updated CLAUDE.md with skill-based search architecture
- Enhanced worker service with search API endpoints
- Updated CHANGELOG.md with v5.4.0 migration details

Technical changes:
- New plugin/skills/search/ directory with SKILL.md
- New .claude/skills/version-bump/operations/ (workflow.md, scenarios.md)
- New plugin/skills/troubleshoot/operations/ (common-issues.md, worker.md)
- Modified src/services/worker-service.ts (added search endpoints)
- Modified plugin/scripts/worker-service.cjs (rebuilt with search API)
- Reduced main skill files by 89% using progressive disclosure
- Token savings: ~2,250 tokens per session start

Search by Concept

Find observations tagged with specific concepts.

When to Use

  • Looking for observations about a specific concept
  • Understanding patterns across the codebase
  • Finding related learnings

Command

curl -s "http://localhost:37777/api/search/by-concept?concept=discovery&limit=5&format=index"

Parameters

  • concept (required): Concept tag to search for
  • format: "index" or "full" (default: "full")
  • limit: Number of results (default: 10, max: 100)
  • project: Filter by project name (optional)

Common Concepts

  • discovery: Learnings and findings
  • decision: Choices and rationale
  • architecture: System design
  • performance: Speed and optimization
  • security: Security considerations
  • testing: Test-related work
  • how-it-works: Implementation details
  • why-it-exists: Rationale and context
  • gotcha: Tricky issues or edge cases
  • pattern: Reusable patterns

Use Case

"What have we learned about the database?" → Search concept=discovery + keyword search for "database"

You can combine concept search with keyword search:

# First get observations with concept=discovery
curl -s "http://localhost:37777/api/search/by-concept?concept=discovery&limit=20&format=index"
# Then filter results for "database" mentions

How to Present Results

Found 5 discoveries:

1. 🔵 **#1230** Database connection pooling best practices
   > Learned that pool size should match CPU cores * 2
   > Nov 8, 2024 • api-server

2. 🔵 **#1231** JWT library comparison
   > Evaluated 3 libraries: jsonwebtoken, jose, passport-jwt
   > Nov 8, 2024 • api-server

Tips

  1. Concepts provide semantic grouping beyond full-text search
  2. Useful for finding patterns across different parts of work
  3. Combine with full-text search for precise results
