Tend the knowledge garden — diagnose vault health, condense project memos into `_project.md` overviews, create/merge cross-project topics, fix broken links, archive superseded notes, extend trails. Trigger on "tend the garden", "condense", "update project overview", "check vault health", "where are we with X?", "what does this project know?", "extend a trail", or when a `_project.md` is empty/stale, a project has 5+ unprocessed memos, or a concept appears in 2+ projects. For autonomous tending…
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
# Knowledge Garden Tending
## Current State
**Index:** !`sqlite3 "$(memex path --index 2>/dev/null)" "SELECT (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM fts_content) || ' docs, ' || (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM chunks) || ' chunks indexed'" 2>/dev/null || echo "(index unavailable)"`
**Condensation backlog** (projects whose overview lags their memos — dated after `condensed:`, or more memos than `memos_digested:`):
!`memex check --condense 2>/dev/null | head -30 || echo "(memex CLI unavailable)"`
**Topic signal backlog** (open `## Recent signals`; closed sections and archived/redirect topics excluded):
!`memex check --signals 2>/dev/null | head -16 || echo "(memex CLI unavailable)"`
<!-- NOTE: `!`command`` injections get slash-command argument substitution ($1, $2, $ARGUMENTS) applied BEFORE execution, so any `$<digit>` in them is unsafe — keep shell logic in the CLI, not inline here. -->
**Existing topics (use [[?name]] for anything NOT in this list):**
!`ls $(memex path 2>/dev/null)/topics/*.md 2>/dev/null | xargs -I{} basename {} .md | sort | tr '\n' ' ' || echo "(no topics found)"`

How to install
mdr add linxule/memex-plugin/garden-tending@sha256:8416038dfe648641The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261028.8eb19a8, 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.
