SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Tend and maintain the Memex vault by diagnosing vault health, condensing memos into living project overviews, and growing cross-project topics to keep the knowledge graph coherent and actionable.

Core Features & Use Cases

Diagnose vault health, identify undigested memos, broken links, and gaps in the topic network.
Condense project memos into _project.md overviews and create cross-project topic notes when patterns emerge.
Connect, merge, and grow topics across projects, fix wikilinks, archive superseded notes, and improve vault discoverability.
Use cases include when a project has many memos since last condensation, or after pattern identification from synthesis.

Quick Start

Condense the latest memos into a project overview and begin linking related topics.

FAQPage Schema

How do I condense accumulated memos into a living project overview?▼

To condense memos into living project overviews, this Skill diagnoses vault health and consolidates accumulated notes into structured `_project.md` files, enforcing frontmatter validation and wikilink discipline to maintain knowledge graph coherence.

What is the best way to diagnose knowledge graph health and find broken wikilinks?▼

Diagnosing knowledge graph health involves identifying undigested memos, broken wikilinks, and gaps in the topic network. This Skill automates vault maintenance by detecting these issues and archiving superseded notes to improve overall discoverability.

How do I grow cross-project topics when patterns emerge in my vault?▼

Growing cross-project topics requires connecting and merging related themes across multi-project vaults. When patterns emerge from synthesis, this Skill creates dedicated topic notes, fixes wikilinks, and links related subjects to keep the network actionable.

Can I use this vault maintenance workflow across multiple projects simultaneously?▼

Yes, you can apply this workflow across multi-project vaults. It is specifically designed for environments where memos accumulate, condensations are overdue, or cross-project patterns require structured extraction and connection.

When should I archive superseded notes in a Memex vault?▼

You should archive superseded notes during vault maintenance when condensing project memos or growing cross-project topics. This action prevents stale information from cluttering the knowledge graph and improves vault discoverability.

Does frontmatter validation work automatically during memo condensation?▼

Yes, frontmatter validation is enforced automatically during the condensation process. As memos are consolidated into project overviews and topic notes, the structured output format ensures metadata remains consistent across the knowledge graph.
