Individual skill
second-brain-lint
Audit a second-brain vault for structural problems and repair them: broken wikilinks, orphan pages, empty stubs, frontmatter that violates the schema, near-duplicate pages, and stale index entries. Use this skill whenever the user asks to lint, clean, audit or check the health of their vault, says pages feel messy or links are broken, after a large bulk import, or when a scheduled maintenance run fires. Do NOT use for ingesting new sources, for answering questions from the vault, or for rewriting page content that is structurally fine but reads badly.

# Lint the vault
Structural rot is silent. Nothing errors, nothing crashes, the vault just
slowly stops answering questions well because a third of its pages are
unreachable. Linting is the only thing that catches it before the owner does.
## Core rule
Report before repairing. Fix the mechanical problems automatically, but never
delete or merge a page without listing it first and getting a yes, because the
owner may have written it by hand.
## Workflow
