Search Lossless Corpus

Use whenever the user asks a question that prior work might already have answered — "what did we decide about X", "when did we ship X", "why did we choose X over Y", "has this failed before", "where did we put X" — and generally to ground answers in The Lossless Group's own corpus instead of training-data folklore. Encodes the four local Chroma collections (`context-vigilance-corpus`, `lossless-changelog`, `claude-code-sessions`, `claude-code-tool-traces`) reachable via the `chroma` MCP server, the four-step agentic-search loop (decompose → execute → evaluate → synthesize), the citation discipline (source path + timestamp + repo slug for every claim), and the metadata-filter patterns that make queries precise. Triggers on questions about prior decisions, shipped work, past Claude Code sessions, recurring tool failures, or any "did we already…" framing. Does not cover Chroma setup, ingestion pipelines, or maintenance — those are handled by [[chroma-local]] and the [[context-vigilance-kit]] scripts.

From the source SKILL.md

The Lossless Group keeps a living corpus of its own decisions, shipped work, prior sessions, and tool-failure history in a local Chroma database wired into Claude Code via the chroma MCP server. Most questions a user asks about prior work can be answered from this corpus rather than training data. Don't paraphrase from training data when the corpus could answer.

What this skill does

Search Lossless Corpus is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the research-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/search-lossless-corpus/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use whenever the user asks a question that prior work might already have answered — "what did we decide about X", "when did we ship X", "why did we choose X over Y", "has this failed before", "where did we put X" — and generally to ground answers in The Lossless Group's own corpus instead of training-data folklore. Encodes the four local Chroma collections (`context-vigilance-corpus`, `lossless-changelog`, `claude-code-sessions`, `claude-code-tool-traces`) reachable via the `chroma` MCP server, the four-step agentic-search loop (decompose → execute → evaluate → synthesize), the citation discipline (source path + timestamp + repo slug for every claim), and the metadata-filter patterns that make queries precise.

Who uses this skill

The Search Lossless Corpus Claude Code skill is built for Claude Code users and developers across all disciplines looking for general-purpose AI assistance. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 69,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
