Meditate

Invoke as /afk:meditate. Use it to audit and evolve the brain vault: pruning stale or low-value notes, surfacing unstated cross-cutting principles, and checking skills against the brain's principles.

meditate snapshots the brain and skills, audits for low-value notes, and — when enough surfaces — distills principles and prunes, writing changes back.

What it does

Meditate builds snapshots of the brain/ directory and the skills/ directory, then runs two subagents. The auditor checks notes for staleness, redundancy, low-value content, verbosity, and orphans. If it finds fewer than 3 actionable items, the reviewer step is skipped. The reviewer handles synthesis (missing wikilinks, principle tensions), distillation (recurring patterns revealing unstated principles, which must be independent, evidenced by 2+ notes, and actionable), and skill review (contradictions between skills and brain principles, missed structural enforcement).

  • The quality bar to keep a note: high-signal (Claude would get it wrong without it), high-frequency (comes up in most sessions), or high-impact (getting it wrong causes real damage).
  • Everything below that bar is pruned. A lean, precise brain outperforms a comprehensive but bloated one.
  • Changes are applied directly; the user reviews the diff. brain/index.md is rebuilt by the hook.
