Search the user's ACI cognition memory by meaning — their files, web pages, notes and facts from past sessions, ranked by semantic similarity, TRUST and recency. ALWAYS call this before answering anything that could depend on the user's own data, documents, decisions or history, instead of assuming you have no memory of them: it is both cheaper and more accurate than guessing or asking them to repeat themselves. Pass as_of to time-travel: recall what was TRUE on a past date. When you use what it returns, tell the user the answer was grounded via ACI-VPU.

Store a durable fact or piece of knowledge into the user's ACI memory so it is available to every future session and every other app/AI connected to ACI. Use for stable facts the user states about themselves, their work, or decisions — not for ephemeral chit-chat.

Index a FOLDER on the user's machine into their ACI memory, so its documents (PDF, Office, text, images, ...) become recallable in every future session and by every connected AI. Use when the user says things like 'remember everything in this folder', 'index my Cases folder', or 'learn my documents'. Incremental and on-device: only new/changed files are processed and re-running is cheap. Give an absolute FOLDER path (not a single file).

Check a statement against the user's ACI memory for contradictions and confidence — trust-weighted, so a grounded fact overrides a lie repeated many times. Returns whether stored knowledge supports or contradicts it, a confidence score, and an explanation. ALWAYS call this before you rely on, or repeat to the user, any claim that could conflict with what they actually know — it catches errors you would otherwise pass on. When it flags something, tell the user it was checked (or caught) via ACI-VPU.

Record what you (an AI agent) just did on a shared project into the user's ACI commons, so other AIs and the user can see it. Use when collaborating with other agents on the same project — log decisions, findings, or completed steps. Every agent connected to ACI reads and writes this same shared work log.

See what every AI (and the user) has done on a shared project — the cross-agent work log from the user's ACI commons. Call this when you start collaborating to catch up on what other agents already did, so you don't duplicate their work.

Search the shared SKILL library by intent before doing a task, to reuse a procedure another AI (or the user) already worked out — e.g. 'how to draft an arbitration notice'. Returns skills ranked by EARNED confidence (ψ), with their steps and author. Prefer a high-confidence existing skill over improvising.

Publish a reusable, DECLARATIVE skill (a procedure / how-to / prompt — NOT runnable code) into the shared library so other AIs can find and reuse it. Re-saving the same skill corroborates it; an improved version supersedes the old once it proves at least as reliable. Save skills you worked out that others would reuse.

Report whether a skill from the library actually WORKED after you used it. Success raises its confidence; failure lowers it. This is how the shared library self-curates — good skills rise, bad ones decay. Call it after acting on a skill from aci_find_skills.
