knowledge-locator

Original：🇺🇸 English

Translated

Consult this skill when searching or navigating stored knowledge. Use when searching for stored knowledge, cross-referencing concepts, discovering connections, retrieving from palaces, finding past PR decisions. Do not use when creating new palace structures - use memory-palace-architect. DO NOT use when: processing new external resources - use knowledge-intake.

Knowledge Locator

A spatial indexing and retrieval system for finding information within and across memory palaces. Enables multi-modal search using spatial, semantic, sensory, and associative queries.

What It Is

The Knowledge Locator provides efficient information retrieval across your memory palace network by:

Building and maintaining spatial indices for fast lookup
Supporting multiple search modalities (spatial, semantic, sensory)
Mapping cross-references between palaces
Tracking access patterns for optimization

Quick Start

Search Palaces

bash

python scripts/palace_manager.py search "authentication" --type semantic

Verification: Run

python --version

to verify Python environment.

List All Palaces

bash

python scripts/palace_manager.py list

Verification: Run

python --version

to verify Python environment.

When To Use

Finding specific concepts within one or more memory palaces
Cross-referencing information across different palaces
Discovering connections between stored information
Finding information using partial or contextual queries
Analyzing access patterns for palace optimization

When NOT To Use

Creating new palace structures - use memory-palace-architect
Processing new external resources - use knowledge-intake
Creating new palace structures - use memory-palace-architect
Processing new external resources - use knowledge-intake

Search Modalities

Mode	Description	Best For
Spatial	Query by location path	"Find concepts in the Workshop"
Semantic	Search by meaning/keywords	"Find authentication-related items"
Sensory	Locate by sensory attributes	"Blue-colored concepts"
Associative	Follow connection chains	"Related to OAuth"
Temporal	Find by creation/access date	"Recently accessed"

Core Workflow

Build Index - Create spatial index of all palaces
Optimize Search - Configure search strategies and heuristics
Map Cross-References - Identify inter-palace connections
Test Retrieval - Validate search accuracy and speed
Analyze Patterns - Track and optimize based on usage

Target Metrics

Retrieval latency: ≤ 150ms cached, ≤ 500ms cold
Top-3 accuracy: ≥ 90% for semantic queries
Robustness: ≥ 80% success with incomplete queries

PR Review Search

Search the review chamber within project palaces for past decisions and patterns.

Quick Commands

bash

# Search review chamber by query
python scripts/palace_manager.py search "authentication" \
  --palace <project_id> \
  --room review-chamber

# List entries in specific room
python scripts/palace_manager.py list-reviews \
  --palace <project_id> \
  --room decisions

# Find by tags
python scripts/palace_manager.py search-reviews \
  --tags security,api \
  --since 2025-01-01

Verification: Run

python --version

to verify Python environment.

Review Chamber Rooms

Room	Content	Example Query
`decisions/`	Architectural choices	"JWT vs sessions"
`patterns/`	Recurring solutions	"error handling pattern"
`standards/`	Quality conventions	"API error format"
`lessons/`	Post-mortems	"outage learnings"

Context-Aware Surfacing

When starting work in a code area, surface relevant review knowledge:

bash

# When in auth/ directory
python scripts/palace_manager.py context-search auth/

# Returns:
# - Past decisions about authentication
# - Known patterns in this area
# - Relevant standards to follow

Verification: Run

python --version

to verify Python environment.

Integration

Works with:

```
memory-palace-architect
```
- Indexes palaces created by architect
```
session-palace-builder
```
- Searches session-specific palaces
```
digital-garden-cultivator
```
- Finds garden content and links
```
review-chamber
```
- Searches PR review knowledge in project palaces

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Command not found Ensure all dependencies are installed and in PATH

Permission errors Check file permissions and run with appropriate privileges

Unexpected behavior Enable verbose logging with

--verbose

flag
