vault-consolidate

Propose or apply consolidation of episodic memories into semantic ones, combining related episodic captures into higher-level semantic summary notes. Use after a long session or when the user asks to clean up, organise, summarise, merge, or declutter memories, or requests memory cleanup or memory management. Always run --propose first so the user can review before --apply commits changes to the vault.

Quality

Content

86%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

A tight, highly actionable skill body: copy-paste commands, a clear propose-review-apply sequence with an explicit human gate, and safety rules for the irreversible apply step. The only gaps are mild repetition of the propose-first rule and the absence of error-recovery guidance for a failed --apply.

Suggestions

Consolidate the propose-before-apply guidance into one place (e.g., keep the Never bullet and the Workflow note, drop the restated rule in Mindset) to trim repeated tokens.

Add a brief recovery note for a partially failed --apply (e.g., re-run is idempotent, or check the audit log) to close the workflow's only validation gap.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Conciseness	The body is lean and operational with no re-explanation of known concepts, but the propose-before-apply rule is stated three times ("Think of `--propose` as generating a diff", "Always propose before applying", and Never bullet #1) and the no-deletion guarantee appears in both "Important" and Never #3 — minor trimming possible. Not anchor 5's "every token earns its place", but well above the verbose anchors.	4 / 5
Actionability	Fully executable, copy-paste-ready commands (`vault-cli consolidate --propose [--project <id>]`, `vault-cli consolidate --apply`), a concrete review file path (`00-inbox/consolidation-proposals.md`), and a specific expected output string ("No episodic memories found to consolidate") with the action to take — covering the common cases including the empty-vault edge case.	5 / 5
Workflow Clarity	A clear 3-step sequence with an explicit human-review validation checkpoint (Step 2: set status approved or rejected) and an explicit pause-and-confirm rule, plus handling of the empty-output case. The destructive/batch cap at 3 does not apply because validation is present; it stays at 4 rather than 5 because there is no error-recovery guidance if `--apply` itself fails partway.	4 / 5
Progressive Disclosure	A ~54-line single-purpose skill with well-organized sections and no need for external references: no bundle files exist (references/, scripts/, assets/ are absent) and the only path mentioned is a vault file, not a bundle reference. Per the simple-skill note, well-organized sections alone earn the top score here.	5 / 5

Description

83%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

A strong description that explicitly states what the skill does and when to use it, with natural trigger terms and a distinctive episodic-to-semantic consolidation niche. Minor improvements are possible: add "consolidate" to the trigger list and slightly narrow the broad "memory management" phrasing.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Specificity	Names concrete actions — "Propose or apply consolidation", "combining related episodic captures into higher-level semantic summary notes", and the concrete --propose/--apply distinction — with only minor gaps (apply-side effects like marking sources superseded are not mentioned). It lists several specific actions rather than only 1-2, so it sits above anchor 3 but below the comprehensive coverage of anchor 5.	4 / 5
Completeness	Clearly and explicitly answers both questions: what ("Propose or apply consolidation of episodic memories into semantic ones, combining related episodic captures into higher-level semantic summary notes") and when ("Use after a long session or when the user asks to clean up, organise, summarise, merge, or declutter memories..."), with concrete trigger phrases — a direct match to the anchor-5 exemplar.	5 / 5
Trigger Term Quality	Good natural-term coverage: "clean up, organise, summarise, merge, or declutter memories, or requests memory cleanup or memory management" plus "Use after a long session". A few natural terms are missing — notably "consolidate" (the skill's own verb, absent from the trigger list) and variations like "tidy" — so it does not reach anchor 5's comprehensive synonym coverage.	4 / 5
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk	A clear niche (episodic-to-semantic memory consolidation in a vault) with domain-specific triggers, so mostly distinct with only minor overlap risk. The phrase "memory cleanup or memory management" is broad enough to collide with generic memory-maintenance skills, keeping it below anchor 5.	4 / 5
