Return to what you concluded months ago
Use casesYou settled this once. You can no longer date it, quote it, or find the file it went into.
The situation
Long-running research accumulates conclusions you can no longer date or reconstruct. Search is query-driven and ranked across the pod, and it can be narrowed to a single vault. Each result carries its vault and its path, so the agent can open the file and answer from what you actually wrote.
How the ranking works — and what it draws on beyond plain text matching — is described in search and indexing.
How you do it
Ask the question, then hold the agent to the files. The last line of the ask matters as much as the first: it is what stops the agent from filling a gap with something plausible.
Needs: Lyt initialized.
Using Lyt, search my research/notes vault for what I concluded about retrieval evaluation. Then open the highest-ranked results and tell me what I decided and when, quoting each file path and its created date. Answer only from the files Lyt returns — if the vault does not say something, say that instead of filling it in.
Search reads; it does not write. Leave off --vault to search the whole pod, in which case each result also names the vault it came from. Assumes Lyt is installed and initialized on this machine.
lyt search "retrieval evaluation" --vault research/notesWhat changes
An old conclusion comes back with its wording, its date, and the file it lives in — which also means you can tell the difference between something you decided and something the agent inferred.
