Analyze Notes
PREREQUISITE: Read deepvista-shared, deepvista-memory, and deepvista-notes.
Search, retrieve, and analyze notes from the knowledge base to surface insights, patterns, and summaries.
Steps
- Search for relevant notes using a query derived from the user's request:
deepvista card +search "<topic or keyword>" --type note --limit 20 - List recent notes if no specific topic was given, to get a broad view:
deepvista notes list --limit 20 - Fetch full content for the most relevant notes (pick IDs from search/list results):
deepvista notes get <note_id>Repeat for each note you need to read in full. - Analyze and synthesize — read the content and identify:
- Recurring themes or topics - Key decisions or action items - Open questions or unresolved threads - Timeline of ideas if dates are present
- Present findings to the user as a structured summary.
- Optionally save the analysis back as a new note (confirm with user first):
deepvista notes create --title "Analysis: <topic> — <date>" --content "<synthesis>"[!CAUTION] Write command — confirm with user before saving.
Tips
- Use
card +searchwith specific keywords rather than listing everything — it uses hybrid vector+keyword search and returns the most relevant results. - Filter by type to stay focused on notes:
deepvista card +search "<query>" --type note. - For time-bounded analysis ("notes from this week"), use
notes listand filter bycreated_atin the JSON output. - Use
chat +sendto ask the AI agent to synthesize across a large set of notes:deepvista chat +send "Here are my recent notes: <paste content>. What are the key themes?"
