notes-review

A review of a note store, meaning a collection of saved notes, for duplicates, outdated material, broken links, inconsistent tags, and other cleanup opportunities. It produces proposed changes but does not apply them.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect all notes, summarize their types and tags, and identify duplicates, stale notes, broken links, or mismatched categories. Approved changes are handled separately.
Why use it?
It finds organization and content problems without changing notes before the user approves the proposals. This reduces the risk of deleting or altering useful information accidentally.

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

notes-review 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 2d 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 — 90 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Audit the note store and produce a structured report of proposed changes. Do NOT apply changes — present proposals for user approval, then use /notes-consolidate or individual notes_update/notes_remove calls to execute approved changes.

Examples

/notes-review
/notes-review tag hygiene
/notes-review duplicates
/notes-review stale

Steps

1. Gather the full picture

  • notes_list with a high limit to get all notes
  • Aggregate tag and type distributions from the full list (count occurrences across all notes)
  • Note total count, tag distribution, type distribution

Success criteria: You have a complete inventory of all notes with their metadata.

2. Read and classify

Read notes in batches using notes_read (batch IDs). For each note, check:

Issue What to look for
Duplicates Notes with very similar titles or overlapping content
Stale Outdated information, references to things that may have changed
Tag inconsistencies Similar tags that should be unified (e.g. "fs" vs "filesystem"), unused tags on single notes
Type mismatches Notes whose type doesn't match their content (see type guidelines below)
Broken links mor: links pointing to non-existent notes
Missing links Notes that reference the same concepts but aren't cross-linked
Empty/thin Notes with very little content that could be merged into related notes
Title quality Vague titles that don't help with search

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.
