Weekly -- suggest log entries for chapter synthesis, flag stale insights.
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
# Weekly Prune Suggest maintenance actions for log and insight hygiene. ## Process ### Log Chapter Synthesis For each walnut, check `_kernel/log.md`: - Count entries (## headings after frontmatter) - If 50+ entries, suggest chapter synthesis ``` [walnut] log has [N] entries. Suggest synthesizing older entries into _kernel/history/chapter-[nn].md? 1. Yes, synthesize 2. Not yet ``` ### Stale Insights For each walnut, check `_kernel/insights.md`: - Read each section - Flag sections not referenced in recent log entries (last 30 days) ``` [walnut] insights: "[section name]" -- not referenced in 45 days 1. Keep (still relevant) 2. Archive (move to bottom) 3. Remove ``` ### Stale Bundles Find bundles in draft status older than 30 days: ``` [walnut]/[bundle] -- draft for 42 days 1. Advance (prototype) 2. Archive (done) 3. Kill (delete) 4. Leave ``` ## Output If nothing needs attention: `[SILENT]` If issues found, present one category at a time. Keep actionable. ## Rules - This is weekly, not urgent. Present calmly. - Never auto-prune. Always suggest and wait. - Chapter synthesis preserves full entries -- it's summarization, not deletion.

How to install
mdr add alivecontext/alive/alive-prune@sha256:f144231e8d1f3bfeThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
