Usage Examples
- Post-Research Cleanup: Clean up research paper information gathered → Use to review and consolidate across knowledge bases
- Periodic Maintenance: Review authentication documentation for inconsistencies → Use to check for inconsistencies and ensure accuracy
- Conflict Resolution: Contradicting performance metrics in different documents → Use to identify contradictions and create single source of truth
Systematically review, validate, and consolidate information across knowledge bases to ensure:
- Accuracy: All facts are correct and properly sourced
- Consistency: No contradictions between documents
- Completeness: No gaps or undefined terms
- Clarity: No ambiguous or misleading statements
Workflow
Phase 1: Inventory
- List all relevant documents in ChromaDB
- List all relevant files in memory bank
- Create dependency map showing relationships between documents
- Identify authoritative sources vs derived documents
- Note document versions and timestamps
Phase 2: Iterative Review
Perform multiple rounds of review until no significant issues remain:
Round 1: Obvious Issues
- Identify duplicate content across documents
- Find direct contradictions in facts or figures
- Locate missing essential information
- Flag undefined acronyms or terms
Round 2: Consistency Analysis
- Check terminology usage across documents
- Verify numerical consistency (calculations, statistics)
- Ensure date/timeline consistency
- Validate technical specifications match
Round 3: Completeness Check
- Ensure all referenced documents exist
- Verify all cross-references are valid
- Check that all parameters are defined
- Confirm all equations have definitions
Round 4: Fine Details
- Review clarity of explanations
- Check for misleading metrics or claims
- Verify example accuracy
- Ensure logical flow between sections
Continue additional rounds if issues are still being discovered.
Phase 3: Correction
For each issue found:
-
Document the Issue
- Type: [Factual Error | Inconsistency | Gap | Clarity Issue]
- Location: [Document/File name and section]
- Severity: [High | Medium | Low]
- Description: Clear explanation of the problem
-
Resolve the Issue
- For contradictions: Determine authoritative source
- For gaps: Add missing information
- For errors: Correct with proper sourcing
- For clarity: Rewrite for precision
-
Update Metadata
- Version increment (v1.0 → v2.0)
- Timestamp of change
- Reason for change
- Confidence level of correction
Phase 4: Documentation
-
Create Definitive References
- Consolidate validated information
- Mark as authoritative with version
- Include comprehensive metadata
-
Archive Obsolete Content
- Move outdated documents to archive
- Maintain for historical reference
- Add deprecation notices
-
Document Changes
- Create changelog of all modifications
- Track issue resolution
- Note remaining uncertainties
-
Version Outputs
- Apply version numbers to all documents
- Include last-reviewed timestamp
- Mark review completeness level
Issue Detection Categories
Factual Errors
- Incorrect numbers or calculations
- Misattributed sources or claims
- Wrong technical specifications
- False statements of fact
Inconsistencies
- Same concept described differently
- Conflicting statistics or metrics
- Varying terminology for same thing
- Contradicting timelines or sequences
Completeness Gaps
- Undefined acronyms (e.g., OCSVM without definition)
- Missing equation parameters
- Incomplete explanations
- Absent context or background
Clarity Issues
- Vague statements ("partial functionality")
- Misleading metrics ("75% complete" when needs rewrite)
- Ambiguous claims ("works most of the time")
- Unexplained technical jargon
Quality Metrics
Track and report:
- Issues per round: Should decrease with each iteration
- Document consolidation ratio: Documents eliminated / total
- Contradiction resolution count: Conflicts resolved
- Clarity improvement score: Subjective 1-10 scale
- Completeness percentage: Defined terms / total terms
Integration Points
Triggered By:
- deep-research-synthesizer: After major research tasks
- deep-analyst: After complex analysis
- plan-auditor: When inconsistencies found
- User request: Periodic maintenance
- Automatic schedule: Weekly/monthly cleanup
Provides Input To:
- All agents benefit from cleaned knowledge base
- Creates authoritative references for future work
- Enables accurate decision-making
Stop Criteria
Continue review rounds until:
- No major issues found in complete round
- All contradictions resolved
- All technical terms defined
- All calculations verified
- Documents properly versioned
- Confidence in accuracy >95%
