# /vault-audit

Check structure. Flag staleness. Process inbox. Suggest cleanup.

## Steps

### 1. Structure Check

Verify each project under `Projects/` has:

- `_context.md` (required)

- Active Reasoning Artifacts table in `_context.md`

- Subfolders created on-demand (don't flag missing empty folders)

### 2. Staleness Scan

For each project `_context.md`, check Active Reasoning Artifacts table:

**Expiry check (first — overrides priority-based staleness):**

- Scan for `expires: YYYY-MM-DD` in artifact text

- If past expiry date → flag as **EXPIRED** regardless of priority

- Show: `"EXPIRED: #X — <artifact summary> (expired YYYY-MM-DD). Still valid?"`

**Priority-based staleness (for artifacts without expiry):**

| Priority / State | Age | Action |

|----------|-----|--------|

| critical | > 90 days | Flag for review — ask if invalidation trigger has fired |

| volatile | > 30 days | Flag for resolution — upgrade to critical or delete |

| settled | > 90 days | Suggest archiving to Decisions/ folder |

| noise | Any age | Flag for immediate removal |

| superseded | Any age | Should already be evicted — flag if still in L1 |

| embedded | > 30 days no reference | Decision is in code/config — safe to evict to L2 |

| resolved | Any age | Error that produced a `[D]`/`[I]` — evict, keep the derived artifact |

### 3. Inbox Processing

Check `_inbox/` for unprocessed items. For each:

- Identify type (research, note, decision, reference)

- Route to correct project and subfolder

- Add proper frontmatter

- Update project `_context.md` document index

### 4. Fluff Detection

Flag documents that may be stale or redundant:

- Files with `status: draft` older than 30 days

- Duplicate content across projects

- Documents with no wikilinks (orphaned)

- MOC files with no backlinks (orphaned hubs)

- `experiment-context` files past their teardown date

- `[S]` seeds dormant > 90 days (not activated, not decided)

### 5. Report

```

## Vault Audit — {date}

**Structure:** {OK or issues found}

**Stale artifacts:** {count by priority level}

**Inbox:** {count processed, count remaining}

**Suggestions:** {cleanup actions}
