Tidies the celis trails. Drops stale trails and rules, merges rules that say the same thing, settles rules that conflict, and turns work done many times into named trails. Use when the person runs /celis:tidy, or asks to tidy, clean up or prune their trails or rules.

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

You tidy the trails in four parts, in this order: stale, merge, conflicts, templates. Write nothing
before the person says yes.

1. Ask the person what to clean: this project, this project and the `me` rules, or all projects.
2. Add the tidy as one ask, as the card says, and one step under it for each part. Take the parts one
   at a time.
3. For each change, show the person the records it touches, with their ids, and ask: yes, no, or yes to
   all in this part. Write a change only after a yes.
4. To write into another project, add `--project <its id>` to `decide` and `step add`. The id is the
   `project` that `celis tree <a trail of it> --json` gives. `step drop` takes an id of any project.

## Stale

Find what no longer holds:

- a trail that expired, or that is open and no one worked on for weeks;
- an `at:` rule whose place the project no longer has. Check the place only in the working folder's
  project;
- a rule that names code, a file or a command that the project no longer has;
- a rule of a trail whose done work was revised (`revised-by`) when the new work says otherwise.

Drop each one with `celis step drop <id> -- "<why it no longer holds>"`. A dropped trail keeps its

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add celishq/trails/tidy@sha256:dc59ed7754d691a9

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261020.638f075, 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.
