SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Cross-root knowledge graphs often contain silos and forgotten-but-relevant links. This skill surfaces cross-node connections, flags contradictions, and seeds missing links to improve consistency and retrieval.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Deterministic candidate ranking across shared-targets, co-mentions, and node relevance, derived from the octopus synthesize core over the octopus kr registry.
  • Contradiction detection and guidance: surfaces authorities and cited notes to help human judgment determine inconsistencies.
  • Link seeding with --fix to seed unambiguous missing relationships when mentions map to a single node.

Use cases include knowledge maintenance, knowledge-base enhancement, and auditing relationships across docs, memory, and consigliere roots.

Quick Start

Invoke the knowledge-synthesize skill to surface cross-node connections and seed missing links across your knowledge roots.

FAQPage Schema
How do I find missing cross-node connections in a knowledge graph?▼

To detect contradictions in knowledge bases, this skill surfaces relevant authorities and cited notes to guide human judgment in identifying inconsistencies across cross-node relationships.

How do I seed missing links across knowledge roots without altering data structures?▼

You can seed missing links across knowledge roots without altering underlying data structures by using the optional --fix flag to seed unambiguous relationships where mentions map to a single node.

Can I focus cross-link synthesis on a specific node in my knowledge base?▼

Yes, you can focus cross-link synthesis on a specific node in your knowledge base by applying the optional --node parameter to target and rank relationship candidates for that particular entry.

What is the best way to audit relationships across docs and memory roots?▼

The best way to audit relationships across docs and memory roots is to invoke a synthesis process that surfaces forgotten-but-relevant links and flags contradictions for knowledge maintenance.

Does cross-link seeding permanently modify my underlying knowledge data?▼

No, cross-link seeding does not permanently modify your underlying knowledge data; the process deterministically evaluates candidates and seeds missing relationships without altering the underlying data structures.
