Memory Search

Use this skill to find information stored in pi-memory-md memory files.

Search Types

Search by Content

Search within markdown content:

memory_search(query="typescript", searchIn="content")

Returns matching files with content excerpts.

Search by Tags

Find files with specific tags:

memory_search(query="user", searchIn="tags")

Best for finding files by category or topic.

Search by Description

Find files by their frontmatter description:

memory_search(query="identity", searchIn="description")

Best for discovering files by purpose.

Common Search Patterns

Goal	Command
User preferences	memory_search(query="user", searchIn="tags")
Project info	memory_search(query="architecture", searchIn="description")
Code style	memory_search(query="typescript", searchIn="content")
Reference docs	memory_search(query="reference", searchIn="tags")

Search Tips

• Case insensitive: typescript and TYPESCRIPT work the same
• Partial matches: auth matches "auth", "authentication", "author"
• Be specific: "JWT token validation" > "token"
• Try different types: If content search fails, try tags or description

When Results Are Empty

1. Check query spelling
2. Try different searchIn type
3. List all files: memory_list()
4. Sync repository: memory_sync(action="pull")
