Skill: brain-search

CRITICAL RULE — NO FABRICATION

You MUST actually execute every curl command using your shell/exec tool. Read the real HTTP response. NEVER generate a fake response, placeholder ID, or simulated output. If the API call fails, report the actual error to Boss Man. If you cannot execute shell commands right now, say so — do not pretend you ran them.

Purpose

Search and interact with Frank's Second Brain — the persistent knowledge base that stores conversation logs, research, journal entries, job results, and long-term memory.

When to Use

• Boss Man asks "what did we talk about on Monday?" or "find that research on X"
• You need context from previous sessions or completed jobs
• Logging noteworthy activity outside of normal Telegram conversation
• Checking job queue status or delegating tasks to sub-agents
• Creating, updating, or managing tasks on the Kanban board

Rules

• EXECUTE EVERY CURL COMMAND FOR REAL — use your shell/exec tool. Never simulate or fabricate API responses.
• Always include x-api-key: frank-sb-2026 header
• Always report the actual HTTP response back to Boss Man
• If an API call fails, show the error — don't make up a success message
• Boss Man watches the /jobs page and Kanban board live — he will see if you fake it
• When delegating: create job as pending → sub-agent picks it up → updates to running → completed
• For multi-step tasks, ALWAYS use the job queue rather than doing everything inline
• Log activity for anything noteworthy that happens outside of normal Telegram chat
