FULL VAULT REVIEW
Trigger: "brain review", "vault review", "vault audit", "what needs attention"
Run all four checks and deliver a consolidated report.
Check 1 — Stale One-Time Tasks
cat "/home/node/.openclaw/workspace/Files/HumanVault/Health Control/Tasks/One Time Tasks.md"Find any unchecked - [ ] items. Cross-check their scheduled date (🛫 field) against today. Flag: tasks with a scheduled date more than 7 days in the past.
Check 2 — Pending Staged Files
ls -la /home/node/.openclaw/workspace/Files/Books/ 2>/dev/null
ls -la /home/node/.openclaw/workspace/Files/Receipts/ 2>/dev/null
ls -la /home/node/.openclaw/workspace/Files/Medications/ 2>/dev/null
ls -la /home/node/.openclaw/workspace/Files/Species/ 2>/dev/null
ls -la /home/node/.openclaw/workspace/Files/Transcripts/ 2>/dev/null
ls -la /home/node/.openclaw/workspace/Files/Documents/ 2>/dev/nullFlag: any files older than 3 days that haven't been pushed yet.
Check 3 — Project Follow-Up
find "/home/node/.openclaw/workspace/Files/HumanVault/Work/TD/" -name "*.md" | xargs grep -l "TODO\|\- \[ \]" 2>/dev/null
find "/home/node/.openclaw/workspace/Files/HumanVault/House Tracker/" -name "*.md" | xargs grep -l "\- \[ \]" 2>/dev/nullReport any open tasks or TODO markers in Work and House Tracker.
Check 4 — Therapy & Self-Improvement Notes
ls -lt "/home/node/.openclaw/workspace/Files/HumanVault/Health Control/Life Improvements/Therapy/" | head -10Check file modification dates. If any therapy note hasn't been touched in >14 days, flag it — Pooh may need a nudge.
OUTPUT FORMAT (Telegram — bullet lists only, no tables)
🧠 Vault Review — [DATE]
📋 Stale Tasks ([count]):
• [task name] — overdue [X days] (from One Time Tasks.md)
📦 Staging Queue ([count] files):
• Books/: [N] files pending push
• Receipts/: [N] files pending push
🏗 Open Work Items:
• Work/TD/[file]: [what's open]
💬 Therapy Notes:
• [note name] — last touched [X days ago]
[If all clear]: Nothing needs attention. Vault is tidy.CONNECTION FINDER
Trigger: "find connections for [note]", "what connects to [topic]", "link suggestions for [note]"
- Read the target note
- Extract key themes, names, entities
- Search vault for related notes:
grep -r "[keyword]" /home/node/.openclaw/workspace/Files/HumanVault/ --include="*.md" -l 2>/dev/null | head -20- Suggest specific
[[wikilinks]]Pooh could add to the note - Never add links without Pooh's approval — present suggestions only
ORPHAN NOTE FINDER
Trigger: "find orphan notes", "what notes have no links", "disconnected notes"
# Find .md files not linked from any other file
find /home/node/.openclaw/workspace/Files/HumanVault/ -name "*.md" | while read f; do
name=$(basename "$f" .md)
count=$(grep -r "\[\[$name\]\]" /home/node/.openclaw/workspace/Files/HumanVault/ --include="*.md" -l 2>/dev/null | wc -l)
if [ "$count" -eq 0 ]; then echo "$f"; fi
done 2>/dev/null | head -30Report the orphans. Suggest which ones could be linked to existing notes.
NOTE ENRICHMENT
Trigger: "enrich [note]", "fill out [note]", "complete [note]"
- Read the target note from HumanVault
- Identify empty or sparse properties
- Web search to fill what's missing
- Stage enriched version in workspace/Files/ under appropriate type folder
- Report what was changed
- Use vault-push to push with approval
RULES
- NEVER write directly to HumanVault — always stage and vault-push
- NEVER delete or archive HumanVault notes without explicit command
- When suggesting connections, cite the source file for every suggestion
- Therapy notes are private — only report metadata (last touched date), never quote content in chat
- Don't overwhelm Pooh with a 30-item list — cap reports at 10 items, summarize the rest
