consolidate-enhanced

Run a higher-signal consolidation workflow over the user's /Brain. Use when user says 'do a deeper consolidation', 'promote what matters', 'distill this week', or 'update memory from recent captures'. NOT for: raw capture routing, automatic unsupervised edits, or inventing CLI features that are not shipped.

Install

Copy to ~/.claude/skills/consolidate-enhanced.md — copy the skill content below and save it.

Setup
```bash
npm install -g buildyourbrain
byb init
```
Workflow
```bash
byb consolidate --days 7 --dry-run
byb consolidate --days 7 --prompt
byb search "decision"
byb search "framework"
byb search "learning"
```

Use the command output plus recent files to draft:

- candidate decisions worth preserving
- frameworks or learnings worth distilling
- identity updates for `me/WORKING_WITH_ME.md`
- current-state updates for `context/now.md`
- possible promotions into `MEMORY.md`

Treat these as proposed edits. Show the reasoning and source files before making changes.

See [references/rubric.md](references/rubric.md) for the consolidation rubric.
Validation
- Every proposed promotion cites source captures.
- Do not present speculative memory updates as settled fact.
- Do not claim automated promotion exists in the CLI.

Setup
```bash
npm install -g buildyourbrain

```
Workflow
```bash
byb consolidate --days 7 --dry-run
byb consolidate --days 7 --prompt
byb search "decision"
byb search "framework"

```

Use the output plus recent files to draft:

- candidate decisions
- distilled frameworks or learnings
- updates for `me/WORKING_WITH_ME.md`
- updates for `context/now.md`
- possible promotions into `MEMORY.md`

Treat them as proposals until reviewed.

See [references/rubric.md](references/rubric.md) for the consolidation rules.
Validation
- Proposed edits cite source files.
- The skill never implies that the CLI already performs automatic promotions.
