vault-tend

Use a vault maintenance pass that scans all notes, previews representative before/after diffs, and applies changes in small Git-committed batches. Operations include frontmatter normalization, wikilink repair, deduplication, and formatting cleanup.

The re-language operation translates note bodies into the target language while keeping frontmatter values, wikilink paths, and the English preamble verbatim. It detects each note's language and only translates notes not already in the target language.

No, the skill enforces hard rules that protect dated timeline entries and auto-logged markers in people and decision notes, and a pre-commit hook enforces these constraints. Notes are never deleted; stale content is moved to an archive folder instead.

Duplicates are found via fuzzy matching within the people and projects folders, then each proposed merge requires explicit confirmation. The richer note is kept, the other's timeline is appended, all backlinks are updated, and the loser is archived.

Avoid it for single-note edits, which should be done directly, and for creating new synthesis or searching for information, which belong to knowledge-building and recall workflows. It is designed only for sweeping multi-note changes.
