second-brain-lint skillA

second-brain-lint is agent-read markdown (skill) from undefined-ui/second-brain-os: Audit a second-brain vault for structural problems and repair them: broken wikilinks, orphan pages, empty stubs, frontmatter that violates the schema, near-duplicate pages, and stale index entries. Use this skill whenever the user asks to lint, clean, audit or check the health of their vault, says pages feel messy or links are broken, after a large bulk import, or when a scheduled maintenance run fires. Do NOT use for ingesting new sources, for answering questions from the vault, or for rewritin.

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# Lint the vault

Structural rot is silent. Nothing errors, nothing crashes, the vault just
slowly stops answering questions well because a third of its pages are
unreachable. Linting is the only thing that catches it before the owner does.

## Core rule

Report before repairing. Fix the mechanical problems automatically, but never
delete or merge a page without listing it first and getting a yes, because the
owner may have written it by hand.

## Workflow

1. **Inventory.** Count pages by type. Build the link graph by parsing every
   `[[wikilink]]`.
2. **Broken links.** Links pointing at pages that do not exist. Distinguish
   two cases: a typo or rename, which you fix, and a genuine gap, which goes
   into `index.md` under Gaps.
3. **Orphans.** Pages with no inbound links. For each, either find where it
   should be linked from and add the link, or flag it as a candidate for
   deletion.
4. **Stubs.** Pages under roughly 40 words with no links. Usually a failed
   ingest. Flag for re-ingest from the original source in `raw/`.
5. **Schema.** Missing or malformed frontmatter, wrong `type`, missing dates,
   tags outside the existing vocabulary.
