Search persistent memory for relevant context — including architectural decisions, resolved bugs, and implementation patterns — when the user asks about past decisions, when debugging a recurring issue, when uncertain whether something was already decided, or before re-implementing something that may have been done before. Use when the user says "do you remember…", "what did we decide about…", or "have we solved this before".
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# vault-search Retrieve relevant memories from the vault using hybrid BM25 + vector search. ## Mindset Search before you implement, design, or debug — not after. A 2-second search that surfaces a prior constraint saves hours of work in the wrong direction. When search returns empty, say so honestly; never fabricate a memory. ## When to use - Before starting a non-trivial task: search for related prior decisions - When the user asks "do you remember…" or "what did we decide about…" - Before proposing an approach: check for existing constraints or patterns - When a bug appears familiar: search for past workarounds ## How to use ```bash vault-cli search "<query>" [--top-k <n>] [--project <id>] ``` Exits 1 with "No results." if nothing is found. ## Query construction - Use **noun phrases**, not questions: `"auth token expiry"` not `"how does auth token expiry work?"` - Use `--project` to narrow scope when working in a known project context - If the first query returns nothing, broaden: remove specific version numbers or error codes and retry with a higher-level term (e.g. `"postgres connection"` instead of `"ECONNREFUSED 5432"`) ## Handling no results …

How to install
mdr add pantheon-org/tekhne/vault-search@sha256:2330b0a3dcda68c4The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260710.a38941a, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
