The world feels messy. Stale tasks, orphan folders, v2 remnants, unsaved sessions — entropy is accumulating and needs to be addressed before it compounds. Scans across all walnuts, then surfaces issues one at a time.
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
# Tidy
System maintenance. Root health first, then one walnut at a time. Surfaces issues with recommended fixes — the human picks.
Not a dashboard (that's world). Not a search (that's find). Not session history (that's alive:session-history). Pure maintenance.
---
## v3 Architecture Reference
Walnut structure is flat under `_kernel/`:
```
walnut-name/
_kernel/
key.md
log.md
insights.md
tasks.json
now.json
completed.json
bundle-a/
context.manifest.yaml
raw/
bundle-b/
context.manifest.yaml
```
There is NO `_kernel/_generated/` subdirectory. There is NO `bundles/` container directory. Bundles sit as direct children of the walnut root alongside `_kernel/`.
Task operations go through `tasks.py`, never by reading/writing task files directly:
- `tasks.py list --walnut {path}` — all active tasks as JSON
- `tasks.py list --walnut {path} --status active` — filter by status
- `tasks.py summary --walnut {path}` — structured summary with counts
Projection rebuilds go through `project.py`:
- `project.py --walnut {path}` — rebuilds `_kernel/now.json`

How to install
mdr add alivecontext/alive/alive:system-cleanup@sha256:738be21d87b414e2The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260511.5023f6d, 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.
