The human needs something that exists somewhere in the world but they don't know where. A decision, a person, a file, a reference — it's been captured, they just can't find it. Searches decisions, people, files, references, insights, and log history across all walnuts in priority order.
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
# Find
Search across the world. One verb for all retrieval.
---
## How It Searches
Priority order — fastest and highest signal first:
### 1. Frontmatter Scan (fast, structured)
Scan `_kernel/key.md` across all walnuts. Matches on: type, goal, people names, tags, links, reference descriptions.
### 2. Insights Search (standing knowledge)
Scan `_kernel/insights.md` across relevant walnuts. Domain knowledge that persists — "Nova Station test windows are Tue-Thu only."
### 3. Log Search (decisions, history)
Search `_kernel/log.md` entries. Signed decisions, session summaries, what happened when. Frontmatter first (last-entry, summary), then entry bodies.
### 4. Task Search (work queue)
Search tasks across all walnuts using `tasks.py list` with the `--world` and `--search` flags:
```bash
python3 "$ALIVE_PLUGIN_ROOT/scripts/tasks.py" list --world "$WORLD_ROOT" --search "{query}"
```
Returns JSON with tasks matching the query across all walnuts. Each result includes a `walnut` field for attribution. Combine with `--status`, `--priority`, `--assignee`, `--tag` for narrower results.
### 5. Working File Search (drafts)
…Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add alivecontext/alive/alive:search-world@sha256:e43737e29c3a8692The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260420.4f39fa4, 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.
