Context Health Audit

Audit the Elle context system at ~/.claude/.context/core/ for data quality issues.

Audit Checklist

Run each check in order. Report findings as a summary table at the end.

1. Staleness Check

Read ~/.claude/.context/core/triggers.md:

• Flag any dates in the past that haven't been cleaned up
• Flag events more than 30 days old

Read ~/.claude/.context/core/session.md:

• Flag if "Current Focus" references work from a different session
• Flag if last-modified date is more than 7 days ago

Read ~/.claude/.context/core/projects.md:

• Flag any "Active" projects that haven't been referenced in recent sessions

2. Bloat Check

For each file in ~/.claude/.context/core/:

• Count lines (warn if > 100 lines)
• Count empty <guide> sections that could be filled with real data
• Flag excessive placeholder text

wc -l ~/.claude/.context/core/*.md

3. Contradiction Check

Read ~/.claude/.context/core/preferences.md and ~/.claude/.context/core/rules.md:

• Look for contradictions between preferences and rules
• Look for duplicate or near-duplicate entries
• Flag rules that may no longer apply

4. Gap Check

For each file, check if key sections are still placeholder text:

• identity.md -- Basic Info, Professional, Personal Life
• preferences.md -- Communication, Working Style
• relationships.md -- any entries at all?
• triggers.md -- any upcoming events?
• workflows.md -- any workflows defined?

5. Sync Check

Compare ~/.claude/rules/elle-core.md against source files:

• Is the timestamp recent?
• Do the rules in elle-core.md match rules.md?
• Do the projects in elle-core.md match projects.md?

head -5 ~/.claude/rules/elle-core.md
grep "Last synced" ~/.claude/rules/elle-core.md

If out of sync, recommend running /sync-context.

6. Improvements Check

Read ~/.claude/.context/core/improvements.md:

• Flag Active Proposals older than 30 days without status change
• Flag Friction Log entries with 2+ occurrences not yet promoted
• Report total pending proposals

7. System Freshness Check

Locate the evolve skill's platform capabilities reference:

EVOLVE_REF=""
# Source mode (marketplace repo)
if [ -f "<cwd>/personal-assistant/skills/evolve/references/platform-capabilities.md" ]; then
  EVOLVE_REF="<cwd>/personal-assistant/skills/evolve/references/platform-capabilities.md"
else
  # Deployed mode (plugin cache)
  EVOLVE_REF=$(find ~/.claude/plugins/cache -path "*/personal-assistant/*/skills/evolve/references/platform-capabilities.md" 2>/dev/null | sort -V | tail -1)
fi

If found, read the ## System State section and check:

• Flag if "Last evolve run" is > 60 days ago or missing
• Flag if "Claude Code version at last audit" is "unknown" or differs from current
• Flag if "Platform docs last fetched" is > 60 days ago
• If System State section doesn't exist, flag as "never audited"
• Flag if "Model capabilities last assessed" is missing or > 90 days ago
• If "Model Capabilities" section doesn't exist in the reference, flag: "Model capabilities never assessed -- run /evolve to check for obsolete skills"

If reference file not found, skip with note: "Evolve reference files not found -- cannot check system freshness"

Recommend running /evolve if any flags are raised.
