Analyze Notes

> PREREQUISITE: Read deepvista-shared, deepvista-vistabase, and deepvista-notes.

Search, retrieve, and analyze notes from the knowledge base to surface insights, patterns, and summaries.

Steps

1. Search for relevant notes using a query derived from the user's request:

```bash

deepvista card +search "" --type note --limit 20

```

1. List recent notes if no specific topic was given, to get a broad view:

```bash

deepvista notes list --limit 20

```

1. Fetch full content for the most relevant notes (pick IDs from search/list results):

```bash

deepvista notes get

```

Repeat for each note you need to read in full.

1. 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

1. Present findings to the user as a structured summary.

1. Optionally save the analysis back as a new note (confirm with user first):

```bash

deepvista notes create --title "Analysis: — " --content ""

```

> [!CAUTION] Write command — confirm with user before saving.

Tips

• Use card +search with 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 "" --type note.
• For time-bounded analysis ("notes from this week"), use notes list and filter by created_at in the JSON output.
• Use chat +send to ask the AI agent to synthesize across a large set of notes:

```bash

deepvista chat +send "Here are my recent notes: . What are the key themes?"

```

Examples

# Find all notes about a project
deepvista card +search "project alpha" --type note --limit 15

# Get full content of a note
deepvista notes get note_abc123

# Save analysis as a new note
deepvista notes create \
  --title "Weekly Themes — 2026-04-02" \
  --content "## Key Themes\n- Theme 1\n- Theme 2\n\n## Open Questions\n- ..."
