Vault tag normalization validates frontmatter tags against a canonical taxonomy, replacing aliases with canonical forms and flagging unknown tags. This ensures consistent tagging and easier discovery across all Markdown files in the vault.

Vault tag auditing scans Markdown frontmatter to identify unknown tags, aliases, over-tagged pages, and untagged pages. Enforcing a canonical vocabulary through this audit slows tag variability, strengthens data quality, and ensures easier content discovery.

To add new canonical tags after an audit, use the taxonomy update workflow to append the new concepts to _meta/taxonomy.md. The Skill then commits these normalized changes and the new tags to the repository to maintain the canonical vocabulary.

Yes, the tag audit works across all Markdown files in the vault by scanning their frontmatter tags. It identifies inconsistencies including missing tags, over-tagging, and unknown aliases to apply normalization comprehensively.

The best way to enforce consistent tagging is to validate and normalize tags against a canonical taxonomy. By auditing frontmatter to flag aliases and unknown tags, then committing normalized changes to a taxonomy file, you ensure uniform vocabulary.
