EMDX Research Knowledge Base FAQs

Question 1

Does it support complex search queries like AND/OR?

Accepted Answer

Due to underlying FTS5 limitations, the skill does not support boolean operators in a single command. It is recommended to run separate find commands for different concepts to get the best results.

Question 2

What is the advantage of semantic search mode?

Accepted Answer

Semantic mode finds documents based on their conceptual meaning and context rather than just matching specific keywords, which is useful when you aren't sure of the exact terminology used in previous documents.

Question 3

What is the primary purpose of the emdx research skill?

Accepted Answer

It allows Claude to query a specialized knowledge base (emdx) to find existing analysis and decisions, ensuring you don't waste time repeating research that has already been completed.

Question 4

How can I identify areas in my documentation that need more work?

Accepted Answer

You can use the 'emdx explore --gaps' command to find thin or stale areas in your knowledge base that require updated research or more detail.

Question 5

Can I filter results by specific project stages?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can filter by tags such as 'active', 'archived', or 'gameplan' using the --tags and --no-tags flags to narrow your search to specific contexts.
