yesmem-search

name	yesmem-search
description	ALWAYS check memory BEFORE answering questions about past work, architecture, or prior decisions. Also before proposing fixes or solutions — check if similar issues were solved before. Use when encountering errors with possible prior context, when the user references previous sessions, or when working with unfamiliar components. Search first, respond second.

Memory Recall

Search yesmem knowledge base for past decisions, patterns, gotchas, and context.

Workflow

1. hybrid_search(query, project) — best default, combines BM25 keyword + vector semantic
2. query_facts(entity, action, keyword) — structured metadata search (files, commands, tags)
3. deep_search(query) — full conversation history with reasoning and command outputs
4. search(query) — full-text across all sessions (cross-project)

Which Tool When

Need	Tool
General knowledge recall	hybrid_search
"What do we know about file X?"	query_facts(entity="filename")
"When did we decide Y?"	hybrid_search + filter by date
Raw conversation context	deep_search
Cross-project knowledge	search (no project filter)
Learnings by category	get_learnings(category="gotcha|decision|pattern")

Tips

• Search with terms the source used, not your summary
• 0 results? Reformulate with concrete identifiers (filenames, functions, error messages)
• deep_search returns full untruncated content including command outputs
• query_facts uses LIKE-matching on entities, actions, keywords
