cog-knowledge-consolidation
The cog-knowledge-consolidation skill organizes scattered vault notes into structured knowledge frameworks by clustering related content, building concept maps with principles and examples, and preserving source attribution. Use it when unconsolidated notes accumulate across vault sections and need coherent organization with cross-references to existing knowledge structures.

- Cluster related notes into coherent themes
- Build structured frameworks: concept maps, key principles, examples, applications
- Cross-reference with existing frameworks in 05-knowledge
- Preserve source attribution through consolidation
- Quality-gated framework building with iterative refinement
- Identify knowledge gaps needing additional capture
## Tool Use Instructions
1. Use `file-search` to find notes not yet consolidated into frameworks
2. Use `file-read` to load candidate notes and existing frameworks
3. Cluster related notes by topic similarity
4. Build framework structure: concept map, principles, examples, applications
5. Use `file-write` to create or update frameworks in 05-knowledge
6. Add cross-references between new and existing frameworks
7. Use `git-commit` to commit consolidated frameworks

This skill should be used when the user asks to "find skills in the wild", "assimilate popular workflows", "discover SKILL.md files in repos", "research external skills", "find workflow patterns", "survey the skill landscape", "what skills exist out there", or wants to investigate public repositories for extractable processes, babysitter plugins, and reusable procedural insights. Searches GitHub for SKILL.md files, classifies repos by archetype, and maintains structured research under docs/reference-repos/.
