## Ticket Information

- **ID**: TICKET-035
- **Title**: Notes & Files (Markdown, PDFs)
- **Type**: Feature
- **Priority**: Medium
- **Status**: Backlog
- **Track**: Tools/MCP
- **Milestone**: Milestone 3 - Memory, Reminders, Safety
- **Created**: 2024-01-XX

## Description

Implement notes and file tools:
- File indexing/search strategy (ripgrep + embeddings later)
- Start with basic full-text search + metadata
- MCP tools: search_notes, read_note, append_to_note, create_note
- PDF handling with lightweight text extractor

## Acceptance Criteria

- [ ] File indexing implemented
- [ ] Full-text search working
- [ ] MCP tools for notes (search, read, append, create)
- [ ] PDF text extraction working
- [ ] get_pdf_text tool implemented
- [ ] Tools registered in MCP server

## Technical Details

Search strategy:
- Phase 1: ripgrep for full-text search
- Phase 2: Add embeddings for semantic search
- Index: Markdown files, text files, PDFs

PDF extraction:
- Use PyPDF2, pdfplumber, or similar
- Extract text, preserve structure if possible

Tools:
- `search_notes`: Full-text search
- `read_note`: Read file content
- `append_to_note`: Add to existing note
- `create_note`: Create new note
- `get_pdf_text`: Extract PDF text

## Dependencies

- TICKET-029 (MCP server)
- Stable directory layout and backup strategy

## Related Files

- `home-voice-agent/mcp-server/tools/notes/` (to be created)

## Notes

Needs stable directory layout. Can be enhanced with embeddings later.
