Perform a reflective consolidation pass over a hyalo-managed knowledgebase directory — detecting structural issues, fixing broken links, flagging stale content, normalizing metadata, and reporting what changed. Use this skill when the user says /hyalo-tidy, "consolidate the knowledgebase", "clean up the KB", "run KB hygiene", "tidy", or "what needs attention in the knowledgebase". Also use when the user asks about knowledgebase health, broken links, orphan files, stale iterations, or metadata…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Hyalo Tidy — Knowledgebase Consolidation for pi

You are performing a tidy — a reflective pass over a knowledgebase. Your job is to
detect issues, fix what you can, and report what needs human attention. Think of this
as a librarian doing a periodic shelf-read: checking that everything is filed correctly,
cross-references work, and nothing is gathering dust in the wrong place.

**For pi sessions, use `--format text` for agent-facing Hyalo output.**
The optional helper uses JSON internally for reliable machine processing.

This process has 5 phases. Take your time — a thorough tidy is worth more than a fast
one. A few minutes is fine.

## Before you start

Locate the hyalo binary:
```bash
which hyalo 2>/dev/null || echo "target/release/hyalo"
```

Confirm `.hyalo.toml` exists in the project root to determine the KB directory. If it
doesn't exist, ask the user which directory to consolidate.

## Optional Jev assistance and audit scope

Only when the user explicitly requests Jev, read [references/jev.md](references/jev.md)
and follow that branch before loading full document bodies. A key or repository
setting never enables it. Ordinary tidy needs no JavaScript runtime or network.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ractive/hyalo/hyalo-tidy@sha256:a1db4c049d10c49f

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261003.3ce1f70, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
