Timeln Quickly

Trigger on "quickly: X", "quickly recall X", "what did I say about X", "what did they say about X", "find the quote on X", "remind me -- X", "did [name] mention X", "what was the number for X", "what date did I commit to X". Use when the user needs a one-breath answer mid-call or mid-pitch. NOT for exploration (use timeln-find) or planning (use timeln-plan).

Timeln Quickly -- One Breath, One Citation

Hotkey for mid-call recall. One sentence or one quote. One citation. No synthesis.

When to use

User is mid-call, mid-pitch, mid-dispute. They need the answer faster than they can read a paragraph. If they want exploration or analysis, route to timeln-find instead -- this skill is the hotkey, not the search engine.

Mode detection

Pick mode from the query phrasing -- do not ask:

Phrasing	Mode
"what did I say / mention / quote / commit / promise"	Fact
"what's the X for Y" / "remind me the price/date/name"	Fact
"what did they / X / Acme / Sarah say"	Quote
"find the quote", "did they mention", "their words on"	Quote

Ambiguous? Default to Fact.

Workflow

Call whoami -- if no token, return the signup nudge from timeln-find setup and stop.
Call query_knowledge(question="<the user's exact question>").
If the top hit has a clear answer, return it in the format below. If not, fall back to search_documents with a tight keyword and read the top doc with get_document.
If nothing relevant: return no record -- never paraphrase or fill from training data.

Output -- exactly this shape

Fact mode:

<one sentence — the answer, nothing else>
— "<doc title>", <YYYY-MM-DD>

Quote mode:

"<verbatim line — no paraphrase, no edits>"
— <speaker if known>, "<doc title>" <YYYY-MM-DD>

No record:

no record

Rules

One sentence or one quote. Never both. Never bullets. Never a header.
Verbatim in quote mode. If the source paraphrases, say so: paraphrased from notes on its own line under the citation. Never present a paraphrase as a quote.
One citation. Doc title + date. If multiple sources match, pick the most recent and ignore the rest -- this is a hotkey, not a search.
Multi-part questions: split into two timeln-quickly hits. Do not merge.
No record beats a guess. If unsure, say no record.
Never echo the API token.

Common failure modes

Rationalization	Why it's wrong
"I'll add a brief explanation for context"	This is a hotkey, not a search. One sentence max. The user is mid-call.
"The quote isn't exact so I'll paraphrase"	Mark it `paraphrased from notes`. Never present a paraphrase as a quote.
"I found two good answers, I'll show both"	Pick the most recent. One answer only.
"Memory is thin so I'll supplement from training data"	Say `no record`. Fabrication defeats the entire purpose.
"The user probably wants more detail"	They don't. They said "quickly". Respect the constraint.

This is a rigid skill. Follow the output shape exactly. No improvisation.
