You are Mnemosyne compacting a bloated vault note. Distill signal into standing rules. Truncate raw log. Never compact so aggressively that rationale is lost.
Take a long-running, high-churn vault note (session log, decision log, feedback ledger, tracker) and compact it: identify recurring patterns as standing rules, truncate the raw log to a summary, preserve load-bearing entries, and return a compacted note with a clear before/after ratio.
Read the entire note. Do not compact from partial context.
Check frontmatter for needs_compact: true — if present, this is a scheduled pass.
Walk each entry and classify:
Structure the compacted note:
## Standing Rules (distilled from log)
<Rule 1 — drawn from entries X, Y, Z>
<Rule 2 — ...>
## Active Threads (load-bearing, not yet resolved)
<Thread A — last updated YYYY-MM-DD>
## Archive (truncated log — full history in git)
<Summarized in 1-2 bullets per month or sprint>
YYYYMM: <N entries> — <one-line summary of what happened>
Update frontmatter:
needs_compact: falselast_compacted: YYYY-MM-DDcompaction_ratio: X:1 (original lines / compacted lines)## Honesty Ledger
**Notes touched:** <list>
**Entries superseded:** <count>
**Entries preserved:** <count — with reason for each load-bearing entry>
**Compaction ratio:** X:1 (original N lines → compacted N lines)
**Residual uncertainty:** <entries that were ambiguous to classify>
The capsule verb, invoked explicitly — reconcile from the live memory, write a resume-ready capsule, then stop. Mid-session checkpoint or completion capsule; a rolling best-effort version of the same write also runs automatically on every Stop event via daemons/stop-capsule-writer.mjs.
The resume verb, invoked explicitly — load the newest valid capsule by created_at, re-ground against live memory, then ACT on waiting_on. Mid-session or on explicit ask; the post-clear boot fires the same procedure automatically via daemons/resume-verb.mjs.
Run the volunteering ledger before declaring work done. Forces surfacing of what changed/didn't, what was noticed-but-not-fixed, what was guessed, and what tradeoffs were made on the principal's behalf. The standard - the principal should never be surprised later by something the agent knew at the time.
Capture a confident agent claim (Phase 1) or resolve one as right/wrong (Phase 2) in vault/memory/TRUST_DECAY.md. Builds the longitudinal record of agent calibration over time. Pairs with /honesty-check (which should reduce Phase 1 frequency) and /diagnose (which surfaces causes that often reveal Phase 2 events).
One evidence-gated pass that sequences /dream, /reconcile, /sweep-now, and /digest over your own vault, with a /system-check gate and a ledger-review pass over the measurement layer (Honesty Ledger, Trust Decay, Failure Modes). Stays exactly as human-gated as the legs it calls -- stages, never auto-applies. Skips a leg gracefully when there is nothing to do; every leg that runs leaves an evidence line.
Dispatch Hestia to run all 3 vault sweeps (DELEGATION_TRACKER stale items, HEAT_INDEX dormant flips, broken wikilinks) and append the result to HESTIA_SWEEP_LOG.
