Graincrawl

Search local Granola notes and transcripts

Search and inspect local Granola meeting notes, transcripts, and panels. This skill is language-agnostic — use whichever language the user prefers.

When to Use

Use when:

• Searching local Granola notes or transcripts
• Checking archive freshness or sync status
• Retrieving specific notes, transcripts, or panels by ID
• Running read-only SQL counts on the local archive

Don't use when:

• User needs live meeting recording (not archive data)
• User wants to edit or modify Granola data
• No local Granola archive exists

Step 0: Check Local Archive

Always start with local data. Check freshness before answering:

bash

graincrawl doctor --json
graincrawl status --json

Report archive status: total notes, date range, source coverage.

Step 1: Search and Query

Use bounded read-only queries:

bash

graincrawl search "query"
graincrawl notes --json
graincrawl note get <id>
graincrawl transcripts get <id>
graincrawl panels get <id>
graincrawl --json sql "select count(*) as notes from notes;"

Report absolute date spans, note titles, source gaps, and transcript/panel availability.

SQL queries are read-only. Never run INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, or DDL commands.

Step 2: Sync (Explicit User Consent Required)

Sync operations contact external sources. Always ask the user before syncing:

"The archive appears stale. Would you like me to sync from a source?"

Only sync after explicit user confirmation:

bash

graincrawl sync --source private-api
graincrawl sync --source desktop-cache

Never auto-sync. Sync only when:

1. Data is stale AND
2. User explicitly approves

Step 3: Encrypted Sources

Before debugging encrypted source issues, run explicit unlock/secrets checks:

bash

graincrawl secrets check --json

Do not surprise-prompt Keychain. If secrets are needed, inform the user first and ask for approval before any credential access.

Safety Rules

• Read-only first: Prefer local read-only queries over sync
• Explicit consent for sync: Never sync without user approval
• No destructive SQL: SELECT only — no INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE/DDL
• No surprise credential access: Warn user before any Keychain/secrets interaction
• Bounded reads: Use limits on search results to avoid excessive output
• Report gaps: Always note source coverage gaps and missing data

Quick Reference

Situation	Action
Check archive status	graincrawl doctor --json + status --json
Search notes	graincrawl search "query"
Get specific note	graincrawl note get <id>
Get transcript	graincrawl transcripts get <id>
Get panel	graincrawl panels get <id>
Count notes	graincrawl --json sql "select count(*) as notes from notes;"
Archive stale	Ask user → sync only if approved
Encrypted source	Check secrets explicitly, warn user before Keychain
