ask-tana
Answer a quick factual question from the team's Tana meetings and docs in one or two sentences, with the source: what was decided, when something was last discussed, who owns something, which date, number or name was agreed, what was shown on screen. Use for short questions like 'what did we decide on pricing?', 'when did we last talk about the Android app?', 'who owns onboarding?', 'what deadline did we agree with Acme?', 'what did Mads show in the demo?', 'did we pick Postgres or SQLite?'. For the full history of a topic, use find-prior-art instead.

Ask Tana A small question deserves a small answer: the fact, where it came from, and a link. No essay. Steps Search narrowly, in one call. Use the specific words the answer would contain. (searchItems). If the wording is uncertain, also run semanticSearchItems({ query: "what we decided about pricing", limit: 10 }). "When did we last...": search with one target only, { "target": "event", "eventStartTimeMax": " ", "eventTimeZone": " " }, plus "sortOptions": [{ "field": "startTime", "direction": "desc" }] (startTime sorting needs the event target alone). "Who owns...": look for a doc or task on the topic (searchItems text target; results carry assignedTo), and resolve profile URIs to names with listOrgMembers. Read only the best source. A doc: readItems({ ids: [id], task: " " }). A meeting (one or two at most). In this order: readEvent({ eventUri }) for callUri, summaryUri, relatedDocs, pinnedItems. readScreenShareScreenshots({ id: callUri }). Not optional.
