Activation

This is the description your AI agent reads to decide when to run this skill — the better it matches your request, the more reliably it fires.

Use when curated vault material may need to become stable canonical knowledge, or when an agent wants to update an existing canonical note without direct authority. Applies when promotion criteria, proposal files, registry updates, and merge safety matter.

  • Recommend target paths for canonical knowledge
  • Confirm source notes are in `intake` or `curation`

How it works

This skill routes curated vault material through a promotion process by confirming the source note's location, checking for existing canonical knowledge, and then adding or updating `promotion-queue.json` or preparing a proposal.

Inputs & outputs

You give it
a working note from `intake` or `curation`
You get back
an updated `promotion-queue.json` or a prepared proposal note

When to use vault-canonical-promotion

  • Promoting research to canonical status
  • Managing documentation quality
  • Queueing notes for documentation review

About this skill

Vault Canonical Promotion

Overview

This skill exists to stop agents from publishing working notes as official knowledge too early. It routes durable material through a promotion process instead of silent direct edits.

If your agent supports MCP, 优先 use the governance MCP server for proposal, queue, review, and apply operations. Use this skill as the compatibility layer when MCP is unavailable.

Promotion Conditions

The candidate should have:

  • a resolved topic_id
  • valid source lineage
  • curation-level stability
  • long-term reuse value
  • a clear home in canonical knowledge

Read references/promotion-criteria.md before promoting.

Standard Flow

  1. Confirm the source note lives in intake or curation
  2. Check whether canonical already exists for the topic
  3. If canonical exists and you are not Hermes/human, prepare a proposal instead of overwriting
  4. Add or update promotion-queue.json
  5. Add ledger entry
  6. Leave final merge to Hermes or a human

Allowed Actions

  • create promotion candidate
  • update queue item
  • prepare proposal note
  • recommend canonical target path

Disallowed Actions

  • silent overwrite of canonical notes
  • reclassifying raw notes as canonical without curation
  • skipping queue update

Common Mistakes

  • treating polished wording as proof of canonical readiness
  • publishing without checking for existing canonical home
  • forgetting to record why this note deserves promotion

When not to use it

  • When directly overwriting canonical notes is intended
  • When reclassifying raw notes as canonical without curation
  • When skipping queue updates

Limitations

  • Does not allow silent overwrite of canonical notes
  • Does not allow reclassifying raw notes as canonical without curation
  • Does not allow skipping queue updates

How it compares

This skill enforces a structured promotion process for knowledge, preventing direct, unauthorized edits to canonical notes.
