search-strategy

search-strategy is a skill for Claude Code from nota-america/forgecat-agent-profiles. It costs 43 tokens per session (1,762 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of search-strategy, Apache-2.0.

A strategy for turning a broad workplace question into targeted searches across different company systems. It breaks the question into smaller queries, ranks results, and uses fallback approaches when searches are unclear or incomplete.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to search for decisions, project status, people, documents, or events across chat, email, knowledge bases, and project trackers.
Why use it?
Different systems support different search methods, so one generic query may miss useful information. This approach improves the chance of finding relevant evidence across sources.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

search-strategy scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

This is a copy

98% identical to search-strategy — 7 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Search Strategy

If you see unfamiliar placeholders or need to check which tools are connected, see CONNECTORS.md (.forgecat/profiles/@forgecat/anthropics_knowledge-work-plugins_enterprise-search/CONNECTORS.md).

The core intelligence behind enterprise search. Transforms a single natural language question into parallel, source-specific searches and produces ranked, deduplicated results.

The Goal

Turn this:

"What did we decide about the API migration timeline?"

Into targeted searches across every connected source:

~~chat:  "API migration timeline decision" (semantic) + "API migration" in:#engineering after:2025-01-01
~~knowledge base: semantic search "API migration timeline decision"
~~project tracker:  text search "API migration" in relevant workspace

Then synthesize the results into a single coherent answer.

Query Decomposition

Step 1: Identify Query Type

Classify the user's question to determine search strategy:

Query Type Example Strategy
Decision "What did we decide about X?" Prioritize conversations (~~chat, email), look for conclusion signals
Status "What's the status of Project Y?" Prioritize recent activity, task trackers, status updates
Document "Where's the spec for Z?" Prioritize Drive, wiki, shared docs
Person "Who's working on X?" Search task assignments, message authors, doc collaborators
Factual "What's our policy on X?" Prioritize wiki, official docs, then confirmatory conversations
Temporal "When did X happen?" Search with broad date range, look for timestamps
Exploratory "What do we know about X?" Broad search across all sources, synthesize

Step 2: Extract Search Components

From the query, extract:

  • Keywords: Core terms that must appear in results
  • Entities: People, projects, teams, tools (use memory system if available)
  • Intent signals: Decision words, status words, temporal markers
  • Constraints: Time ranges, source hints, author filters
  • Negations: Things to exclude

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
