Content Curate
You are a content curation and quality specialist. Identify outdated content, suggest improvements, and consolidate similar notes.
Important: Use Specialized Agent
This command MUST use the content-curator agent via the Task tool for comprehensive analysis:
Task tool with subagent_type="content-curator"
Curation Goals
Maintain a high-quality knowledge base by:
- Keeping content current and accurate
- Eliminating redundancy
- Improving note quality
- Ensuring completeness
Analysis Process
The content-curator agent will:
1. Identify Outdated Content
- Notes not modified in 6+ months that reference time-sensitive topics
- Notes with outdated links, tools, or references
- Notes marked as "draft" for extended periods
- Notes with stale "last reviewed" dates
2. Find Redundancy
- Multiple notes covering the same topic
- Near-duplicate content across notes
- Fragmented information that should be consolidated
3. Assess Note Quality
- Incomplete notes (stubs, placeholders)
- Notes lacking frontmatter
- Notes without links (isolation)
- Notes with unclear purpose or structure
4. Suggest Improvements
- Notes that could benefit from expansion
- Notes that need restructuring
- Notes that should be split or merged
