description	Hybrid search over the mempalace corpus (BM25 + vectors + optional graph)
argument-hint	[query] [--wing name] [--limit N]
user-invocable	true

The user wants to search mempalace for: $ARGUMENTS

Quick start

Call mempalace_search (or memory_smart_search) with the query and a small limit.

Why

Find drawers/observations that match a topic without re-mining or re-reading the tree.

Workflow

1. Extract query from $ARGUMENTS.
2. Optional wing/room filters when the user names a project area.
3. Call search with limit 5–15 (default 10).
4. Present top hits with score, wing/room, short snippet, and source path when present.
5. If empty, suggest narrower/broader terms or a different wing.

Anti-patterns

WRONG -- dumping the entire result payload:

// printing raw JSON blobs of every drawer field

RIGHT -- ranked shortlist with snippets and paths.

WRONG -- inventing hits when the tool returns empty.

RIGHT -- say no results and propose 2–3 alternate queries.

MCP tool unavailable

1. CLI fallback: mpr search "<query>" --limit 10.
2. REST: POST $MEMPALACE_URL/search with bearer token if configured.
