Memory Archaeologist

Single-skill wrapper for the 4-layer recall (durable memory → semantic DB → PostgreSQL → daily notes). Use BEFORE saying "I don't have context". Triggers: "search memory", "what do we know about X", "deep recall", "I don't remember".

Memory Archaeologist

Run before ever claiming "no context" or "I don't remember".

When to use

  • Before answering any "what do we know about X" question
  • Before responding "no context" / "I don't remember"
  • When piecing together a thread that spans WhatsApp + daily notes + project memory

Procedure (DO NOT SKIP STEPS)

  1. Durable memory + wiki
    grep -rin "<query>" MEMORY.md HOT.md AGENTS.md wiki/ 2>/dev/null
  2. Semantic DB
    python tools/session_search.py "<query>"
  3. PostgreSQL WhatsApp history
    SELECT body, ts, chat_id FROM messages
WHERE body ILIKE '%<query>%'
ORDER BY ts DESC LIMIT 20;
  4. Daily notes
    grep -lir "<query>" memory/daily/ 2>/dev/null

Output rules

  • Report findings only — do not narrate the search
  • If all 4 layers return empty, then (and only then) escalate to "no context"
  • Cache the answer in the relevant durable file if it's a recurring question
