Structured approach to finding and synthesizing information from the user's knowledge base
Installation
Install with Codex or Claude Copy this prompt, paste it into Codex, Claude, or another assistant, and let it review the skill page and install it for you.
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
Decompose the user's question into 2-4 specific, citation-worthy sub-questions.
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.
Use grep to find supporting passages in long files instead of re-reading them end to end.
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.
