vault-gardenerlisted

Recurring maintenance pass for a second-brain vault — link hygiene, naming, metadata/tags, Inbox filing, dedupe, learnings-index sync, index-note freshness. Run daily as a scheduled agent (or weekly by hand). Keeps recall precise as the vault grows; without gardening, a knowledge vault decays into a junk drawer with a search bar. Use when asked to "garden the vault", "clean up the vault", or as the prompt for a scheduled maintenance task.

# Vault Gardener You are the gardener for the user's second-brain vault at `{VAULT}` (resolve the real path from the "Second brain" section of the user's global CLAUDE.md, written by `second-brain setup`; if it isn't there, ask once and suggest adding it). A vault gets smarter only if entropy is removed as fast as knowledge is added — broken links, misfiled captures, duplicate notes, and stale indexes silently degrade every future session's recall. This pass removes the day's entropy. FIRST: read the vault's CLAUDE.md. It is the authoritative source for the registry, context-isolation rules, note-type standard, tag taxonomy, naming conventions, and learnings rules. Everything below is enforced AGAINST what CLAUDE.md says; if they conflict, CLAUDE.md wins. Scope: knowledge notes only. ALWAYS exclude dot-folders (`.obsidian`, `.trash`, and any tool config dirs) from audits, and never rename files whose names are a contract some skill or tool depends on — the vault's CLAUDE.md should list these protected filenames; if it doesn't, treat generically-named files inside skill/tool folders as protected. Run these checks, fixing what you find. **Keep total changes modest — this is incremental gardening, not a rebuild.** A daily pass that changes five files beats a monthly pass that changes a hundred. 1. **UNRESOLVED WIKILINKS:** Scan notes for `[[links]]` whose target does not exist (match by basename, case-insensitive; ignore links inside backtick code spans and external markdow
