/strata-prune
Detect and optionally remove stale, duplicate, or trivial vault notes.
Instructions
Run the prune script, passing any flags the user supplied:
bash "$HOME/.claude/workspace/stratavarious/stratavarious/scripts/stratavarious-prune.sh" "$@"
By default, runs in dry-run mode — no vault modifications. Pass --apply to execute actions.
Candidate types
- Decay — error notes older than 60 days (configurable) not referenced by any other note → archived to
_archive/<year>/
- Trivial — notes with fewer than 5 content lines → deleted
- Semantic duplicates — notes with very similar titles (Levenshtein distance < 3 or Jaccard similarity > 70%) in the same category → flagged for manual merge
Flags
| Flag | Description |
|---|
--apply | Execute archiving and deletion (dry-run by default) |
--yes | Skip confirmation prompts |
--age-days N | Override decay threshold (default: 60, env: StrataVarious_PRUNE_AGE_DAYS) |
--json | Machine-readable JSON output |
Workflow
- Run
/strata-prune to review candidates
- Inspect the report — verify each candidate is appropriate
- Run
/strata-prune --apply to archive decay and delete trivial notes
- Manually merge duplicate pairs identified in the report
- Run
/strata-doctor to verify vault integrity after pruning
