"What should I write next?" and "is the vault rotting?" — vault health and gap finding. Trigger on what to document next, where notes are thin, vault cleanup / audit / "groom my memory", a recall that came up empty or hit `DANGLING`, or a Session/Project note that looks structurally wrong.

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.

<!-- CANONICAL SOURCE: this repo (jayantak/vaultmem). The dotfiles copy under agents-source/skills/ is synced FROM here — edit this file, not that one. -->

# vault-curate — what to write next, and what is rotting

`vault-capture` answers "record this." This skill answers the two questions
capture can't: **where is this vault thin, and what is decaying?** Nothing else
in the system owns them. Run it at a stopping point, when the user asks what to
document next, or when a recall attempt came up empty on a topic that should
have been written down.

Vault routing is the same as everywhere: `vaultmem vaults` for the registry,
`vaultmem which` for the vault that routes here. Most commands below take
`-v <vault>` to scope to one.

## The gap surfaces — what should I write next?

- **`vaultmem dangling --by-target`** — every broken `[[link]]` in the vault,
  aggregated by missing target and ranked by inbound count. **This is the
  most-wanted list**: a target three notes point at is one the vault has already
  decided it needs. Write those first. Fixing a `--by-target` entry usually beats
  a new note from nowhere — it completes something already half-written.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jayantak/vaultmem/vault-curate@sha256:f5a8e64c941ed619

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260801.7078e87, 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.
