Knowledge Base Search

ALL agents have access to KB/RAG tools. These are automatically available.

Recommended: Ask Mentor

For most questions, use roboco_ask_mentor:

roboco_ask_mentor(question="How do I handle authentication?")

It searches ALL knowledge sources and supports follow-up questions.

Search Types

Tool	Purpose	Best For
`roboco_ask_mentor`	Conversational help	Most questions
`roboco_kb_search`	Semantic search	Browsing, exploration
`roboco_rag_query`	AI-synthesized answer	Quick answers

Semantic Search

roboco_kb_search(
    query="rate limiting redis implementation",
    top_k=5,                      # Results to return
    project="roboco",             # Optional project filter
    index_types=["code", "docs"]  # Filter by type
)

Returns similar content - not just keyword matches.

RAG Query (AI Answer)

roboco_rag_query(
    query="How does authentication work in this codebase?",
    top_k=5
)

Returns AI-synthesized answer with citations.

Good for:

"How does X work?"
"What pattern should I use?"
"What decisions were made about Y?"

Mentor (Conversational)

)

# Follow-up
roboco_ask_mentor(
    question="What about refresh tokens?",
    conversation_id=response["conversation_id"]
)

Before Starting a Task

Always search first:

roboco_kb_search("implementing rate limiter")
roboco_journal_search("rate limit decisions")

This helps you:

Avoid repeating mistakes
Find proven patterns
Learn from others' experiences

Proactive Context

System auto-provides context when you claim:

roboco_get_proactive_context(task_id)
# Returns: similar_tasks, relevant_learnings, code_patterns,
#          applicable_standards, recent_decisions, known_issues
