Find answers 50x faster with Project to Shared to Web priority protocol!
What's New
Complete Information Retrieval System (950+ lines):
- INFORMATION-RETRIEVAL.md with cascading search protocol
- examples/information-retrieval-examples.md with real-world scenarios
- Enhanced kb_search.py with metadata extraction and prioritization
Cascading Priority Protocol:
- Project KB highest priority overrides Shared KB
