Get architecture advice for your use case. Research-backed recommendations for vault configuration based on your domain.
Install with Codex or Claude Copy this prompt, paste it into Codex, Claude, or another assistant, and let it review the skill page and install it for you.
Based on SOC occupation classification
Add a new knowledge domain to an existing vault. Creates domain-specific MOCs, templates, and vocabulary mappings.
Research-backed vault evolution guidance. Toggle features (self-space, semantic search), rebalance MOCs, adjust dimensions with full rationale.
Query the Ars Contexta research methodology. Answers 'why does my system do X?' with research-backed explanations from 249 interconnected claims.
Analyze the vault's knowledge graph. Subcommands: orphans, density, bridges, synthesis, traverse, clusters, stats.
Run vault health diagnostics. 3 modes: quick (schema+orphans+links), full (all 8 categories), three-space (boundary violations).
Contextual guidance and command discovery. Shows available skills, agents, and intelligent suggestions based on vault state.

Invoke this skill when the user wants configuration advice, is unsure whether their vault is set up optimally for their use case, or wants to know what a different preset would look like for their domain.
Current State Analysis Read and analyze:
ops/config.yaml — current dimension valuesops/derivation.md — original derivation rationaleops/observations/ — accumulated friction and usage patternsops/health/ — most recent health report warningsBuild a picture of: what the vault was designed for vs. how it is actually being used.
Usage Pattern Inference From observations and health data, infer:
Preset Comparison Compare the current configuration against the three standard presets:
Identify which preset the current usage most resembles, and how far the configuration diverges.
Recommendations Produce 2–5 specific recommendations, each with:
Rank recommendations by expected impact.
