Quality Check

Use this skill deliberately, not on a timer. Do not interrupt useful work for scheduled maintenance, demand trigger diversity, or ask the user to repair the graph merely because a number is low.

Diagnose before changing

Choose the smallest view that answers the live question:

• graph_analyze({ include: ["gaps", "bridges", "questions"] }) for islands, bridges, and genuinely unanswered questions;
• graph_score() for a compact structural snapshot;
• graph_centrality() when influence or bottlenecks matter;
• graph_semantic_gaps() when embedding coverage exists and conceptual distance is relevant;
• graph_skeleton() only when the overall topology is itself in question;
• graph_thermostat() as an advisory entropy-style pulse, not a command.

Metrics describe the stored shape. They cannot establish truth, creativity, importance, completeness, or whether a node was worth creating. A sparse graph can be exactly right for a small task; a dense graph can still be confused.

Judge the finding in context

• A disconnected region is a problem only if the work gives it a real relation to another region. Do not invent a bridge.
• An unanswered question may remain intentionally open.
• A contradiction is live conflict, not proof that either side is false.
• A low supersession count is not evidence that someone failed to reconsider.
• Trigger counts are descriptive. Never add questions, tensions, predictions, or any other type to improve a distribution.
• Artifact-heavy structure is an advisory signal only. Add cognitive testimony only when genuine understanding, uncertainty, evidence, or choice exists.

When a finding could materially affect the task, use graph_suggest_next({ task, workflow }) for concrete weighted routes or graph_discover_grounded() for a bounded distant comparison. Choose, modify, combine, or reject the result. “No defensible connection” and “no repair needed” are valid outcomes.

Repair only what is real

If the diagnosis identifies a genuine issue, make the smallest truthful change:

• connect regions with a specific typed relation;
• preserve an unresolved tension rather than forcing consensus;
• answer a question only when the graph now contains an answer;
• revise or use dedicated graph_supersede when a position actually changed;
• archive noise through the explicit lifecycle operation;
• leave healthy heterogeneity alone.

Explain the material finding to the user when it changes the work or needs their judgment. Otherwise keep the check quiet and continue the task.
