Provenance Skill

Trace knowledge artifact lineage to sources.

Execution Steps

Given /provenance <artifact>:

Step 1: Read the Artifact

Tool: Read
Parameters:
  file_path: <artifact-path>

Look for provenance metadata:

• Source references
• Session IDs
• Dates
• Related artifacts

Step 2: Trace Source Chain

# Check for source metadata in the file
grep -i "source\|session\|from\|extracted" <artifact-path>

# Search for related transcripts using ao
ao search "<artifact-name>" 2>/dev/null

Step 3: Search Session Transcripts with CASS

Use CASS to find when this artifact was discussed:

# Extract artifact name for search
artifact_name=$(basename "<artifact-path>" .md)

# Search session transcripts
cass search "$artifact_name" --json --limit 5

Parse CASS results to find:

• Sessions where artifact was created/discussed
• Timeline of references
• Related sessions by workspace

CASS JSON output fields:

{
  "hits": [{
    "title": "...",
    "source_path": "/path/to/session.jsonl",
    "created_at": 1766076237333,
