# Skill: memory-query

## What this skill does

Standardizes how to answer questions like:

- "Have we decided X already?"
- "Where is the spec for Y?"
- "What was the last consensus on Z?"

Sources:

- `MEMORY.md` (high-signal focus view)
- `memory/catalog.json`
- `memory/st/**` (short-term engrams)
- `memory/lt/**` (long-term engrams)

## Procedure

1. Search `MEMORY.md` first for current focus and recent context.
2. If needed, search `memory/catalog.json` and then the engram directories.
3. When reporting results, include:
   - file path(s)
   - a short quote/snippet
   - why it is relevant

## Output format

Prefer a concise bullet list with citations to file paths.
