// Search and recall the user's own documents, files, and saved memory — and save new things worth remembering — using Little Heta, a local CLI knowledge base. Use whenever a task needs external knowledge from the user's own materials or earlier context, or when the user states a fact, decision, or preference worth keeping, instead of guessing or grepping files.

description	Search and recall the user's own documents, files, and saved memory — and save new things worth remembering — using Little Heta, a local CLI knowledge base. Use whenever a task needs external knowledge from the user's own materials or earlier context, or when the user states a fact, decision, or preference worth keeping, instead of guessing or grepping files.

Little Heta

heta is a local command-line knowledge base. It indexes the user's documents — PDF, Office, images, audio, code, Markdown — answers questions from them and from saved memory, and can store new memories.

Reach for heta whenever a task needs external knowledge from the user's own documents, or needs to recall or save memory — instead of guessing or grepping. Run commands with the Bash tool.

1. Check Heta is set up

Run heta status once at the start.

Shows a model provider and KB files → Heta is ready, continue.
Shows config missing / "not configured" → tell the user to run heta init themselves. It is an interactive API-key setup, so do not run it yourself.

2. Four core commands

These four cover retrieval and memory. Default to heta ask.

Command	When to use it
`heta ask "<question>"`	Default. Answers from saved memory and indexed documents together.
`heta query "<question>"`	When the answer must come strictly from indexed documents.
`heta recall "<query>"`	When you want the user's personal memory (past chats, facts), not documents.
`heta remember "<text>"`	When the user states a fact, decision, or preference worth keeping for later.

Examples:

heta ask "How does our auth flow refresh tokens?"
heta query "What does the design doc say about rate limits?"
heta recall "what did I decide about the database"
heta remember "We decided to use Postgres for the main store."

Show the user Heta's output, then add a short summary.

3. Other commands

Heta can also index files (heta insert), clean up, and toggle settings.

For a quick list: run heta --help.
For full usage of any command: read COMMANDS.md in this skill's directory (next to this file). Only read it when the user actually needs one of those commands — do not load it ahead of time.
