# Find what was said in a Castmagic library

1. Search the library with the Castmagic `search` tool, using the topic's key words. If the user names a show or workspace, find its id with `list_spaces` and pass it as `space_id`.
2. Read the snippets. When a snippet is cut off or you need the surrounding conversation, open the full transcript with `fetch` (the result's `id`) or `get_transcript` (its `recording_id`).
3. Answer from what the recordings actually say. Quote the words, name the recording, the speaker when known, and the timestamp: `start_ms` divided by 1000, written as minutes and seconds (for example 37:52).
4. If nothing matches, say so plainly and suggest other words to search for. Don't fill the gap from general knowledge.
