Check structure. Flag staleness. Process inbox. Suggest cleanup.

Steps

1. Structure Check

Verify each project under Projects/ has:

• _context.md (required)
• Active Reasoning Artifacts table in _context.md
• Subfolders created on-demand (don't flag missing empty folders)

2. Staleness Scan

For each project _context.md, check Active Reasoning Artifacts table:

Expiry check (first — overrides priority-based staleness):

• Scan for expires: YYYY-MM-DD in artifact text
• If past expiry date → flag as EXPIRED regardless of priority
• Show: "EXPIRED: #X — <artifact summary> (expired YYYY-MM-DD). Still valid?"

Priority-based staleness (for artifacts without expiry):

Priority	Age	Action
critical	> 90 days	Flag for review — ask if invalidation trigger has fired
volatile	> 30 days	Flag for resolution — upgrade to critical or delete
settled	> 90 days	Suggest archiving to Decisions/ folder
noise	Any age	Flag for immediate removal
superseded	Any age	Should already be evicted — flag if still in L1

3. Inbox Processing

Check _inbox/ for unprocessed items. For each:

• Identify type (research, note, decision, reference)
• Route to correct project and subfolder
• Add proper frontmatter
• Update project _context.md document index

4. Fluff Detection

Flag documents that may be stale or redundant:

• Files with status: draft older than 30 days
• Duplicate content across projects
• Documents with no wikilinks (orphaned)
• MOC files with no backlinks (orphaned hubs)
• experiment-context files past their teardown date
• [S] seeds dormant > 90 days (not activated, not decided)

5. Report

## Vault Audit — {date}
