See how an idea became your current view.
Your latest note rarely contains the whole story of an idea. The idea-lineage skill follows one concept through existing evidence, showing what sharpened, changed direction or remains uncertain.
Illustrative request
How has my thinking about a shared knowledge base changed since the first project notes?
The assistant assembles dated references, a current interpretation and possible turning points. It labels gaps and does not invent an abandoned direction simply to make the history feel complete.
Illustrative scenario, not a live product result.Follow one idea closely
The skill searches phrase variants and related concepts, then reads the strongest matching pages. Notes, transcripts, meetings and attributed opinions can each contribute evidence. Keeping the scope to one idea makes it easier to distinguish meaningful change from repeated wording.
Separate change from contradiction
The earliest mention, clearest articulation and current view may be three different sources. The workflow keeps those roles distinct and looks separately for reversals, incompatible claims and branches that were explicitly dropped. A quoted opinion remains attributed to its holder.
- First dated evidence and best articulation
- Current view with its supporting sources
- Reversals, open disagreements and evidence gaps
Read first, save only when requested
This is a read-only workflow in a connected agent with access to the relevant Memrain tools. It can inspect available contradiction findings without launching a new expensive probe. Saving a lineage page is a separate action; broader concept organization has its own workflow.
