taiwanmd-search: Search Taiwan.md Knowledge Base

Search 900+ curated articles about Taiwan across 13 categories: history, geography, culture, food, art, music, technology, nature, people, society, economy, lifestyle, about.

How to search

Quick search (via CLI)

cd "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)" && node cli/src/index.js search "<QUERY>" --limit 5

Replace <QUERY> with the user's search terms. Works with Chinese and English.

JSON output (for programmatic use)

cd "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)" && node cli/src/index.js search "<QUERY>" --json --limit 5

Read a specific article after searching

cd "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)" && node cli/src/index.js read "<SLUG>" --raw

The --raw flag outputs clean markdown, ideal for injecting into conversation context.

When to use

  1. User asks about Taiwan — search for relevant articles, read the top match, use it to inform your answer
  2. User is writing Taiwan-related content — search for reference articles to ensure accuracy
  3. User references a specific topic (e.g., "珍珠奶茶", "TSMC", "228 incident") — find the authoritative article
  4. User wants to explore — use random or list commands

Notes

  • The knowledge base is in knowledge/ (SSOT) — always prefer reading from there
  • Articles are in Traditional Chinese (zh-TW) as the source of truth
  • English translations are in knowledge/en/
  • Each article has structured YAML frontmatter with title, description, date, tags
