refactor(docs): restructure SKILL.md into progressive-disclosure layers
Split the monolithic skill prompt into three tiers: - Core API (search/context/sql) stays in the first prompt - Structured helpers listed as one-liners with filter signatures - Detailed patterns and pitfalls extracted to references/ Add references/query-patterns.md (copyable CodeAct recipes) and references/pitfalls.md (scope, FTS, ordering, compactness traps). Clarify project scope semantics (slug vs path vs cwd) throughout. Add ORDER BY timestamp DESC to failures() for newest-first default.

# Obelisk Query Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
These are copyable CodeAct patterns for `runtime.mjs --query` scripts. They are
|
||||
not new APIs. Adapt them to the user's scope and return compact evidence.
|
||||
|
||||
## Bounded Search To Context
|
||||
|
||||
Use `search()` to locate candidates, then expand only the strongest hits.
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
const hits = search('"runtime query"', { project: '%quiet-zero%', limit: 8 });
|
||||
return hits.slice(0, 5).map(h => {
|
||||
const c = context(h.message.uuid);
|
||||
return {
|
||||
session_id: h.session.id,
|
||||
session_title: h.session.title,
|
||||
uuid: h.message.uuid,
|
||||
timestamp: h.message.timestamp,
|
||||
snippet: h.message.text?.slice(0, 240),
|
||||
parentChain: (c?.parentChain || []).slice(-3).map(m => ({
|
||||
uuid: m.uuid,
|
||||
role: m.role,
|
||||
snippet: m.text?.slice(0, 120),
|
||||
})),
|
||||
};
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Facet Sweep For Broad History
|
||||
|
||||
Use this only for broad synthesis questions such as "how did X evolve", "what
|
||||
did we do on X", or "what problems happened". Do not use it for concept recall,
|
||||
exact session lookup, exact term recall, or tasks that ask for compact search
|
||||
hits.
|
||||
|
||||
Keep the sweep small: 3-4 facets, `limit: 3` per facet, and at most 12 compact
|
||||
evidence rows.
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
const name = 'obelisk';
|
||||
const facets = [
|
||||
'runtime CLI script',
|
||||
'schema SQLite FTS',
|
||||
'skill API helper docs',
|
||||
'test failure problem',
|
||||
];
|
||||
|
||||
const rows = [];
|
||||
for (const facet of facets) {
|
||||
for (const h of search(`${name} ${facet}`, { project: '%quiet-zero%', limit: 3 })) {
|
||||
rows.push({ facet, h });
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
const seen = new Set();
|
||||
return rows
|
||||
.filter(({ h }) => {
|
||||
const key = h.message.uuid || `${h.session.id}:${h.message.timestamp}`;
|
||||
if (seen.has(key)) return false;
|
||||
seen.add(key);
|
||||
return true;
|
||||
})
|
||||
.slice(0, 12)
|
||||
.map(({ facet, h }) => ({
|
||||
facet,
|
||||
session_id: h.session.id,
|
||||
session_title: h.session.title,
|
||||
project: h.session.project,
|
||||
uuid: h.message.uuid,
|
||||
timestamp: h.message.timestamp,
|
||||
snippet: h.message.text?.slice(0, 180),
|
||||
}));
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Summary Rows And Neighbors
|
||||
|
||||
Use `source`, `content`, `session_id`, `project`, and `session_title`.
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
const rows = summaries({ project: '%quiet-zero%', limit: 8 });
|
||||
return rows.map(s => ({
|
||||
id: s.id,
|
||||
session_id: s.session_id,
|
||||
session_title: s.session_title,
|
||||
project: s.project,
|
||||
source: s.source,
|
||||
timestamp: s.timestamp,
|
||||
snippet: s.content?.slice(0, 240),
|
||||
}));
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
To inspect messages around one summary:
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
const s = summaries({ project: '%quiet-zero%', limit: 1 })[0];
|
||||
if (!s) return { results: [] };
|
||||
const before = sql(
|
||||
`SELECT uuid, role, timestamp, substr(text,1,200) AS snippet
|
||||
FROM messages
|
||||
WHERE session_id=? AND timestamp<?
|
||||
ORDER BY timestamp DESC LIMIT 3`,
|
||||
s.session_id,
|
||||
s.timestamp
|
||||
);
|
||||
const after = sql(
|
||||
`SELECT uuid, role, timestamp, substr(text,1,200) AS snippet
|
||||
FROM messages
|
||||
WHERE session_id=? AND timestamp>?
|
||||
ORDER BY timestamp ASC LIMIT 3`,
|
||||
s.session_id,
|
||||
s.timestamp
|
||||
);
|
||||
return { summary: s, before, after };
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## File History Synthesis
|
||||
|
||||
`fileHistory()` contains reads as well as writes. For "why/how did this file
|
||||
change", scan a bounded `Edit`/`Write` set first, then return only compact
|
||||
evidence. Do not choose the answer from only the first few rows if the question
|
||||
asks for evolution.
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
const rows = fileHistory('/absolute/path/to/file', { limit: 100 });
|
||||
const writes = rows.filter(r => ['Edit', 'Write'].includes(r.toolCall?.name));
|
||||
const reads = rows.filter(r => r.toolCall?.name === 'Read');
|
||||
|
||||
const bySession = new Map();
|
||||
for (const r of writes) {
|
||||
const sid = r.session.id;
|
||||
const group = bySession.get(sid) || {
|
||||
session_id: sid,
|
||||
session_title: r.session.title,
|
||||
project: r.session.project,
|
||||
write_edit_count: 0,
|
||||
first_timestamp: r.timestamp,
|
||||
last_timestamp: r.timestamp,
|
||||
themes: [],
|
||||
evidence: [],
|
||||
};
|
||||
group.write_edit_count++;
|
||||
group.first_timestamp = group.first_timestamp < r.timestamp ? group.first_timestamp : r.timestamp;
|
||||
group.last_timestamp = group.last_timestamp > r.timestamp ? group.last_timestamp : r.timestamp;
|
||||
const snippet = String(r.toolCall.input_json || '').slice(0, 360);
|
||||
if (group.themes.length < 8) group.themes.push(snippet);
|
||||
if (group.evidence.length < 3) {
|
||||
group.evidence.push({
|
||||
tool: r.toolCall.name,
|
||||
tool_id: r.toolCall.id,
|
||||
timestamp: r.timestamp,
|
||||
snippet,
|
||||
});
|
||||
}
|
||||
bySession.set(sid, group);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
return {
|
||||
counts: { reads: reads.length, writes_edits: writes.length },
|
||||
sessions: [...bySession.values()].slice(0, 10),
|
||||
};
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Failed Tool Counts
|
||||
|
||||
For precise counts, aggregate in SQL. Do not hand-count long result rows in the
|
||||
final answer.
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
const counts = sql(`
|
||||
SELECT
|
||||
tc.name AS tool_name,
|
||||
COUNT(*) AS failure_count,
|
||||
MAX(m.timestamp) AS last_failure_at
|
||||
FROM tool_results tr
|
||||
JOIN tool_calls tc ON tc.id = tr.tool_use_id
|
||||
JOIN messages m ON m.uuid = tr.message_uuid
|
||||
JOIN sessions s ON s.id = tr.session_id
|
||||
WHERE tr.is_error = 1
|
||||
AND s.project LIKE ?
|
||||
GROUP BY tc.name
|
||||
ORDER BY failure_count DESC, last_failure_at DESC
|
||||
LIMIT 20
|
||||
`, '%quiet-zero%');
|
||||
|
||||
const examples = sql(`
|
||||
SELECT
|
||||
tr.tool_use_id,
|
||||
tc.name AS tool_name,
|
||||
m.timestamp,
|
||||
s.id AS session_id,
|
||||
s.title AS session_title,
|
||||
substr(tr.content, 1, 180) AS error_snippet
|
||||
FROM tool_results tr
|
||||
JOIN tool_calls tc ON tc.id = tr.tool_use_id
|
||||
JOIN messages m ON m.uuid = tr.message_uuid
|
||||
JOIN sessions s ON s.id = tr.session_id
|
||||
WHERE tr.is_error = 1
|
||||
AND s.project LIKE ?
|
||||
ORDER BY m.timestamp DESC
|
||||
LIMIT 8
|
||||
`, '%quiet-zero%');
|
||||
|
||||
return { counts, examples };
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Failure Investigation Groups
|
||||
|
||||
For questions like "recent failed tool calls", "which tasks failed", or "group
|
||||
failures by task/session", group structurally and return sparse examples. Use
|
||||
SQL for counts; treat `failures()` as an evidence helper, not a precise counter.
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
const project = '%quiet-zero%';
|
||||
|
||||
const groups = sql(`
|
||||
SELECT
|
||||
s.id AS session_id,
|
||||
s.title AS session_title,
|
||||
s.project,
|
||||
COUNT(*) AS failure_count,
|
||||
MAX(m.timestamp) AS last_failure_at
|
||||
FROM tool_results tr
|
||||
JOIN tool_calls tc ON tc.id = tr.tool_use_id
|
||||
JOIN messages m ON m.uuid = tr.message_uuid
|
||||
JOIN sessions s ON s.id = tr.session_id
|
||||
WHERE tr.is_error = 1
|
||||
AND s.project LIKE ?
|
||||
GROUP BY s.id
|
||||
ORDER BY last_failure_at DESC
|
||||
LIMIT 10
|
||||
`, project);
|
||||
|
||||
const examples = sql(`
|
||||
SELECT
|
||||
tr.tool_use_id AS tool_call_id,
|
||||
tc.name AS tool_name,
|
||||
s.id AS session_id,
|
||||
m.timestamp,
|
||||
substr(tr.content, 1, 180) AS error_snippet
|
||||
FROM tool_results tr
|
||||
JOIN tool_calls tc ON tc.id = tr.tool_use_id
|
||||
JOIN messages m ON m.uuid = tr.message_uuid
|
||||
JOIN sessions s ON s.id = tr.session_id
|
||||
WHERE tr.is_error = 1
|
||||
AND s.project LIKE ?
|
||||
ORDER BY m.timestamp DESC
|
||||
LIMIT 12
|
||||
`, project);
|
||||
|
||||
return { groups, examples };
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Workflow Tree Compact View
|
||||
|
||||
Find the run with `workflows()` under scope, then project `workflowTree()` into
|
||||
compact fields. Do not return raw `script`, `result_json`, or the full tree.
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
const runs = workflows({ project: '%quiet-zero%', limit: 30 });
|
||||
const target = runs.find(w =>
|
||||
/session[-_ ]journal/i.test(`${w.workflow_name || ''} ${w.task_id || ''} ${w.run_id || ''}`)
|
||||
);
|
||||
if (!target) {
|
||||
return {
|
||||
found: false,
|
||||
candidates: runs.slice(0, 8).map(w => ({
|
||||
run_id: w.run_id,
|
||||
workflow_name: w.workflow_name,
|
||||
timestamp: w.timestamp,
|
||||
agent_count: w.agent_count,
|
||||
})),
|
||||
};
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
const tree = workflowTree(target.run_id);
|
||||
return {
|
||||
run_id: target.run_id,
|
||||
workflow_name: target.workflow_name,
|
||||
status: tree?.status ?? target.status,
|
||||
timestamp: tree?.timestamp ?? target.timestamp,
|
||||
agent_count: tree?.agent_count ?? tree?.agents?.length ?? target.agent_count,
|
||||
agents: (tree?.agents || []).map(a => ({
|
||||
agent_id: a.agent_id,
|
||||
phase: a.phase,
|
||||
label: a.label,
|
||||
state: a.state,
|
||||
tokens: a.tokens,
|
||||
messageCount: a.messageCount,
|
||||
})),
|
||||
};
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Subagent Metadata Recall
|
||||
|
||||
Use `subagents()` for metadata. Do not expand transcripts unless the user asks.
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
const rows = subagents({ project: '%quiet-zero%', limit: 50 });
|
||||
return rows
|
||||
.filter(r => /obelisk/i.test(`${r.description || ''} ${r.agent_type || ''}`))
|
||||
.map(r => ({
|
||||
agent_id: r.agent_id,
|
||||
agent_type: r.agent_type,
|
||||
description: r.description,
|
||||
session_id: r.session_id,
|
||||
messageCount: r.messageCount,
|
||||
total_tokens: r.total_tokens,
|
||||
}));
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Empty Result Without Fallback
|
||||
|
||||
If the user asks for an exact sentinel, scoped project, or exact file, an empty
|
||||
result is valid. Report it; do not broaden automatically.
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
const needle = 'obelisk-impossible-sentinel-20260602';
|
||||
const hits = search(`"${needle.replace(/-/g, ' ')}"`, { limit: 10 });
|
||||
const real = hits.filter(h => {
|
||||
const scope = `${h.session?.project || ''} ${h.message?.cwd || ''}`;
|
||||
return !/SkillOpt[-/. ]outputs|obelisk_train|obelisk-eval/i.test(scope);
|
||||
});
|
||||
return real.map(h => ({
|
||||
session_id: h.session.id,
|
||||
session_title: h.session.title,
|
||||
project: h.session.project,
|
||||
uuid: h.message.uuid,
|
||||
snippet: h.message.text?.slice(0, 200),
|
||||
}));
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Raw Window
|
||||
|
||||
Use `raw()` only after identifying a specific message UUID.
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
const row = sql(`
|
||||
SELECT uuid, length(text) AS indexed_len
|
||||
FROM messages
|
||||
WHERE length(text) >= 10000
|
||||
LIMIT 1
|
||||
`)[0];
|
||||
if (!row) return null;
|
||||
const first = raw(row.uuid, { offset: 0, limit: 4000 });
|
||||
return {
|
||||
uuid: row.uuid,
|
||||
indexed_len: row.indexed_len,
|
||||
totalLength: first?.totalLength,
|
||||
hasMore: first?.hasMore,
|
||||
text: first?.text?.slice(0, 500),
|
||||
};
|
||||
```
