Knowledge base maintenance — organize, deduplicate, cross-reference the datarim/ directory. Flags contradictions, archives stale content.
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.

# Dream — Knowledge Base Maintenance
> "The tedious part of maintaining a knowledge base is not the reading or the thinking — it's the bookkeeping."
Dream handles the bookkeeping: cross-references, deduplication, organization, staleness checks, and structural consistency of the `datarim/` directory. It runs periodically or on demand, keeping the knowledge base healthy as it grows.

## Three Operations
### 1. Ingest (process new items)
New documents, notes, and artifacts land in the knowledge base through tasks. Over time, some end up misplaced, unnamed inconsistently, or disconnected from related content.
**Ingest checks:**
- Files in wrong directories (e.g., a PRD outside `prd/`, a reflection outside `reflection/`)
- Files missing task ID in filename (required by datarim-system rules)
- Files without frontmatter or metadata
- Files that reference other files using wrong paths (broken links)
- Archives in `documentation/archive/` without matching reflection in `datarim/reflection/`
- Archive files in wrong area subdirectory (prefix doesn't match area per Archive Area Mapping in `datarim-system.md`)
**Actions:**
- Propose moving misplaced files to correct directories

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261004.8dfccd1, 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.
