conversations

Four sources of conversation context, each with different fidelity and recency. Use them in order.

1. Knowledge Base — distilled profiles (start here)

Pre-ingested facts about people and decisions. Fast, structured, low noise.

Files live under ~/meetings/knowledge/people/{slug}.md.

Use when: looking up what someone committed to, their role, recent decisions they were part of.

Skip when: the event was very recent (last day or two) and may not be ingested yet.

2. Meeting transcripts — full context

Raw meeting markdown with transcripts, summaries, action items.

Use your meetings capability for full command reference (list, search, get, person, research, actions, consistency).

Use when: KB doesn't have enough detail, or you need the surrounding conversation.

Note: daily internal chat digests are also ingested as meetings — check there for recent summaries.

3. Chat — live and undigested

Real-time search for things too recent to be ingested, or threads not captured in digests. Covers both internal team messaging and customer support/community channels.

Use your chat capability for full API reference (search, post, reply, find channel IDs). Your chat capability may support multiple channels — specify context (internal vs. support/community) when searching if the provider supports it.

Use when: looking for something from today or yesterday, a specific thread not in a digest, or customer-reported issues and community feedback.

4. Email — formal correspondence

Sent/received email, support tickets, procurement threads, and anything via your work email domain.

Use your email capability for full command reference (search messages, get threads, send/reply).

Use when: looking for email correspondence, ticketing notifications, procurement threads, or any thread not in chat or meetings.
