SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Finding past decisions, tasks, and discussions scattered across daily pages, task pages, and activity logs is slow and error-prone. This Skill turns a plain-language question into a citation-backed answer drawn from your entire work history vault. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Natural Language Search: Ask questions like "when did we first discuss auth?" without knowing where the answer lives. - Citation-Backed Answers: The work-historian agent searches daily pages, task pages, project pages, activity logs, and the wiki log, then returns a synthesized answer with source citations. - Read-Only Operation: The agent only reads vault content, so your notes are never modified during a query. - Use Case: Before a weekly review, ask "what did I work on last week?" and receive a sourced summary of tasks and activity across the vault. ## Quick Start Ask the query skill a question such as "when did we first discuss the auth bug?" and it will return a cited answer from your work history.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I search my work history with natural language?▼

Pass your question as the skill argument, for example "what did I work on last week?". The skill routes it to the work-historian agent, which searches the vault and returns a synthesized answer with citations.

What sources does the work history search cover?▼

The work-historian agent searches daily pages, task pages, project pages, activity logs, and the wiki log inside the vault. Answers include citations pointing back to the source pages.

Does the query skill modify my notes or vault files?▼

No. The work-historian agent performs read-only searches across the vault. It synthesizes an answer from existing content without editing any markdown files.

What happens if I run the query skill without a question?▼

If the arguments are empty, the skill asks you what you want to know about your work history instead of invoking the agent. Provide a specific question to get a direct answer.

What are the limitations of natural language work history search?▼

Answers are limited to content actually recorded in the vault's pages and logs. Events never captured in daily pages, tasks, or logs cannot be retrieved, and answer quality depends on how consistently history was logged.
