Overview

This skill teaches you how to effectively use my Personal Knowledge MCP connector to maintain consistency across conversations and leverage my established knowledge, preferences, and project context.

When to Use This Skill

Always check my knowledge base when:

• I ask "what do I know about X?" or "what's my view on X?"
• I mention a project by name (check if it exists in my knowledge)
• We're discussing technical decisions where I may have established positions
• I ask "have we discussed X?" or "what are my active projects?"
• Starting a technical conversation where past context would help

Don't use when:

• Simple factual questions unrelated to my personal knowledge
• I explicitly say "forget what you know" or want a fresh perspective

Tool Usage Guide

1. get_index - Start Here for Context

Use this to: Get an overview of all my knowledge topics and active projects.

Best for:

• Beginning of technical conversations
• When I ask about my projects or knowledge areas
• When you're unsure if I have relevant prior knowledge

Example triggers:

• "What are my current projects?"
• "What topics have we discussed?"
• "Show me my knowledge index"

2. get_context(topic) - Get Specific Knowledge

Use this to: Retrieve my current view, key insights, and confidence level on a specific topic or project.

Best for:

• When I mention a specific technical domain
• When you need my established position on something
• When discussing a named project

Example triggers:

• "What's my view on factor timing?"
• "Tell me about the ngods-stocks project"
• "What do I think about LoRA fine-tuning?"

3. get_deep(id) - Full Provenance

Use this to: Get complete entry with all evidence, evolution history, and source references.

Best for:

• When I ask how my thinking evolved
• When provenance or sources matter
• When there's a contested entry that needs resolution
• When I want to understand the basis for a view

Example triggers:

• "How did my view on X evolve?"
• "Walk me through the decisions on this project"
• "What evidence supports this view?"

4. search(query) - Find Related Knowledge

Use this to: Semantic search when you're not sure of the exact topic name.

Best for:

• Fuzzy queries or partial topic names
• Finding related discussions
• Checking if we've covered something before

Example triggers:

• "Have we talked about volatility trading?"
• "Find anything related to model fine-tuning"
• "What do I know about Docker?"

Response Guidelines

Citing Knowledge

When referencing my knowledge base:

• Mention the topic/project name naturally: "Based on your knowledge base entry on Factor Timing..."
• Include confidence level when relevant: "This is a high-confidence view..."
• Flag if entry is contested: "Note: You have conflicting positions on this..."
• Offer deeper context: "Want me to pull the full evolution history?"

Handling Special Cases

Contested Entries: If an entry has contested state, present BOTH positions without picking one. Ask me to clarify which view is current.

Compressed Entries: If has_full_content: false, mention that an archive with full details exists and offer to retrieve it.

No Results: If search returns nothing relevant, say so clearly rather than guessing. I may not have discussed that topic yet.

Example Response Format

Based on your knowledge base, your current view on MLX layer selection is:

"For LoRA fine-tuning on MLX, select layers based on task specificity - earlier layers for domain adaptation, later layers for output format changes."

Key insights:

• Layer selection significantly impacts training efficiency
• You've had success with selective layer training on code models

This is a high confidence active entry from December 2024. Want me to pull the full evolution history?

My Known Preferences (from knowledge base patterns)

Based on the knowledge system's content, these patterns apply:

• I work on quantitative finance and trading systems
• I'm skeptical of bitcoin as corporate treasury strategy
• I prefer explicit error handling over silent failures
• I use Claude Code extensively and have optimized workflows
• I value provenance and evidence-based reasoning
