consolidate-notes

consolidate-notes is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from inkeep/open-knowledge-skills. It costs 119 tokens per session (2,065 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A procedure for turning completed research into a canonical article in a knowledge base.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after a decision has been made to promote research, supersede older material, and write the result under the knowledge base’s articles directory.
Why use it?
It prevents undecided or uncertain research from being incorrectly presented as the team’s final source of truth.

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 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 5d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 168 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Consolidate — promote research into a canonical article

This skill is pack guidance. The platform /open-knowledge skill (read/write/preview/linking/grounding rules) still governs every markdown operation — this layers the procedure on top.

Promote existing research on a topic into a canonical article under articles/. Canonical, not provisional — the output is the source of truth for future agents, not a snapshot of uncertainty.

The content directory is the resolved content.dir — read it with config({ key: 'content.dir' }) if you don't already know it. Paths below are relative to it.

Legacy reads: Existing research and articles may use status: provisional / canonical, and existing sources: may contain string paths. Treat those as draft / stable and source resources. Do not mass-rewrite them; new writes use the OKF forms below.

STOP gate: has a decision actually been made?

Consolidation is promotion, not creation. If the team hasn't decided, the resulting "canonical" article lies about the team's state of understanding — future agents read it, act on it, and the false certainty compounds.

Before any write, confirm out loud with the user:

  • What is the actual decision? (e.g., "We chose Yjs for CRDT" — not "Yjs is one option")
  • What alternatives were considered and rejected? (these go in "Alternatives considered," not as equals)
  • What's the rationale the team used? (not your reconstruction from sources)

If the decision is still open, do not consolidate. Tell the user: "The research is still provisional. When the team decides, come back and consolidate with the outcome." Then stop.

When to use this procedure

  • A team has made a decision after research and wants the outcome committed as canonical knowledge
  • You want to compact several provisional research notes into one authoritative article
  • A developer asks to "consolidate" or "finalize" the knowledge on a topic

Do NOT consolidate when:

  • The team has not actually decided (the output would be misleading — keep it as research)
  • You have not read the underlying sources (the output would lack evidence)

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.

consolidate-notes is a skill published in the GitHub repository inkeep/open-knowledge-skills (6 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 119 tokens to every session and 2,065 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
