consolidate-notes-summary

consolidate-notes-summary is a skill for Claude Code from britt/agent-skills. It costs 57 tokens per session (714 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for combining information scattered across project notes into one topic-focused summary. It searches note folders, compares the sources, and records important points, timelines, references, and missing information.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for finding notes by topic or tag, synthesizing their contents, linking related notes, and identifying gaps in the documentation.
Why use it?
It saves time when the relevant knowledge is spread across many notes instead of documented in one place.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

consolidate-notes-summary scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Consolidate Notes Summary Skill

Search project notes by topic or tag and produce a consolidated summary that synthesizes information across multiple sources.

Notes location: check for a notes/ or docs/notes/ directory, a vault path noted in CLAUDE.md, or ask the user; search with Grep across that directory.

When to Use

Activate when:

  • Gathering scattered knowledge on a topic
  • Preparing a summary from multiple note sources
  • Reviewing what's been documented about a subject
  • Identifying gaps in documentation

When NOT to use: single-note summarization (just read it), or consolidating code documentation rather than notes.

Workflow

  1. Locate the notes directory (see notes location above); confirm with the user if ambiguous.
  2. Search by topic or tag with Grep across the directory, including synonyms, abbreviations, and related terms (e.g. "auth" as well as "authentication", tag forms like #auth). Case-insensitive matching catches more hits.
  3. Read the matching notes, capturing dates, authors, and key claims from each.
  4. Synthesize the findings per the Synthesis vs. Aggregation guidelines below — combine, don't concatenate.
  5. Emit the output template, filling every section and flagging anything you could not determine.

If the search returns nothing, widen terms once before reporting back; if it still finds nothing, say so plainly and list the terms tried rather than fabricating a summary.

Output Structure

## Consolidated: [Topic]

**Sources**: [X notes reviewed] | **Date Range**: [earliest] to [latest]

### Summary

[Synthesized overview combining insights from all related notes]

### Key Points

- [Point 1] — from [note reference]
- [Point 2] — from [note reference]
- [Point 3] — from [note reference]

### Timeline

| Date | Event/Decision |
|------|----------------|
| [Date] | [What happened] |

### Cross-References

- **[Note 1 title]**: [how it relates to the topic]
- **[Note 2 title]**: [how it relates]

### Gaps

- [Information that's missing]
- [Topics that need more documentation]
- [Outdated content that needs refresh]

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
