Knowledge Locator#

A spatial indexing and retrieval system for finding information within and across memory palaces. Enables multi-modal search using spatial, semantic, sensory, and associative queries.

What It Is#

The Knowledge Locator provides efficient information retrieval across your memory palace network by:

• Building and maintaining spatial indices for fast lookup
• Supporting multiple search modalities (spatial, semantic, sensory)
• Mapping cross-references between palaces
• Tracking access patterns for optimization

Quick Start#

Search Palaces#

bash

python scripts/palace_manager.py search "authentication" --type semantic

Verification: Run python --version to verify Python environment.

List All Palaces#

bash

python scripts/palace_manager.py list

Verification: Run python --version to verify Python environment.

When To Use#

• Finding specific concepts within one or more memory palaces
• Cross-referencing information across different palaces
• Discovering connections between stored information
• Finding information using partial or contextual queries
• Analyzing access patterns for palace optimization

When NOT To Use#

• Creating new palace structures - use memory-palace-architect
• Processing new external resources - use knowledge-intake
• Creating new palace structures - use memory-palace-architect
• Processing new external resources - use knowledge-intake

Search Modalities#

ModeDescriptionBest ForSpatialQuery by location path"Find concepts in the Workshop"SemanticSearch by meaning/keywords"Find authentication-related items"SensoryLocate by sensory attributes"Blue-colored concepts"AssociativeFollow connection chains"Related to OAuth"TemporalFind by creation/access date"Recently accessed"

Core Workflow#

1. Build Index - Create spatial index of all palaces
2. Optimize Search - Configure search strategies and heuristics
3. Map Cross-References - Identify inter-palace connections
4. Test Retrieval - Validate search accuracy and speed
5. Analyze Patterns - Track and optimize based on usage

Target Metrics#

• Retrieval latency: ≤ 150ms cached, ≤ 500ms cold
• Top-3 accuracy: ≥ 90% for semantic queries
• Robustness: ≥ 80% success with incomplete queries

Detailed Resources#

• Index Structure: See modules/index-structure.md
• Search Strategies: See modules/search-strategies.md
• Cross-Reference Mapping: See modules/index-structure.md

PR Review Search#

Search the review chamber within project palaces for past decisions and patterns.

Quick Commands#

bash

# Search review chamber by query
python scripts/palace_manager.py search "authentication" \
  --palace <project_id> \
  --room review-chamber

# List entries in specific room
python scripts/palace_manager.py list-reviews \
  --palace <project_id> \
  --room decisions

# Find by tags
python scripts/palace_manager.py search-reviews \
  --tags security,api \
  --since 2025-01-01

Verification: Run python --version to verify Python environment.

Review Chamber Rooms#

RoomContentExample Querydecisions/Architectural choices"JWT vs sessions"patterns/Recurring solutions"error handling pattern"standards/Quality conventions"API error format"lessons/Post-mortems"outage learnings"

Context-Aware Surfacing#

When starting work in a code area, surface relevant review knowledge:

bash

# When in auth/ directory
python scripts/palace_manager.py context-search auth/

# Returns:
# - Past decisions about authentication
# - Known patterns in this area
# - Relevant standards to follow

Verification: Run python --version to verify Python environment.

Integration#

Works with:

• memory-palace-architect - Indexes palaces created by architect
• session-palace-builder - Searches session-specific palaces
• digital-garden-cultivator - Finds garden content and links
• review-chamber - Searches PR review knowledge in project palaces
