What This Skill Does

Personal knowledge base for capturing and retrieving information about people, places, restaurants, games, tech, events, media, ideas, and organizations. Entries are stored as categorized markdown files and are searchable by name or natural language. Media attachments are saved and indexed alongside text profiles.

Keeps named entities out of date-based daily logs so people, places, and things stay findable by name rather than buried by session.

When to use it

  • Logging someone you just met at a conference
  • Looking up a restaurant you visited months ago
  • Storing device specs and quirks for later reference
  • Tracking games you've played and your impressions
  • Capturing a business idea before you forget it
