Build structured knowledge frameworks from scattered notes across the vault, preserving source attribution and maintaining cross-references.
Capabilities
- Scan vault sections for unconsolidated notes
- Cluster related notes into coherent themes
- Build structured frameworks: concept maps, key principles, examples, applications
- Cross-reference with existing frameworks in 05-knowledge
- Preserve source attribution through consolidation
- Quality-gated framework building with iterative refinement
- Identify knowledge gaps needing additional capture
Tool Use Instructions
- Use
file-searchto find notes not yet consolidated into frameworks - Use
file-readto load candidate notes and existing frameworks - Cluster related notes by topic similarity
- Build framework structure: concept map, principles, examples, applications
- Use
file-writeto create or update frameworks in 05-knowledge - Add cross-references between new and existing frameworks
- Use
git-committo commit consolidated frameworks

Transforms scattered vault notes into coherent knowledge frameworks with source attribution. It clusters notes, builds concept maps, principles, examples, and applications, and links new work to existing 05-knowledge frameworks to preserve context and provenance.
How This Skill Works
The process scans vault sections for unconsolidated notes, clusters related items by topic, and builds structured frameworks consisting of concept maps, key principles, examples, and applications. It then cross-references with existing 05-knowledge frameworks, preserves source attribution, and writes updates back to the knowledge store before committing changes.
When to Use It
- You have many scattered notes across the vault that need a consolidated knowledge framework.
- You want consolidation that aligns with and references existing 05-knowledge frameworks.
- You must preserve source attribution for auditability and traceability.
- You want to identify knowledge gaps and plan targeted captures to fill them.
- You need a ready-to-use framework for onboarding or knowledge sharing.
Quick Start
- Step 1: Use file-search to locate unconsolidated notes in the vault.
- Step 2: Use file-read to load candidate notes and any existing frameworks, then cluster by topic.
- Step 3: Use file-write to create/update frameworks in 05-knowledge, add cross-references, and git-commit to finalize.
Best Practices
- Tag notes by topic and include source attribution metadata during consolidation.
- Start with a high-level concept map, then flesh out principles, examples, and applications.
- Regularly create cross-references to related frameworks in 05-knowledge.
- Apply iterative refinement with a quality gate before finalizing updates.
- Maintain a changelog and descriptive commit messages to document rationale.
Example Use Cases
- Consolidate notes from the cog-vault into a unified 'Cog Knowledge Consolidation' framework with proper attribution and cross-references to 05-knowledge.
- Build a 'Decision-Making Principles' framework by clustering biases, heuristics, and examples, preserving original sources.
- Create an interconnected 'Memory and Learning' framework that cross-links to existing 05-knowledge maps.
- Use a payload like the provided example to set targetQuality (e.g., 80) during consolidation.
- Commit consolidated frameworks to 05-knowledge using git-commit with a descriptive message.
