Notes Audit

notes-audit — analyze, then PROPOSE (never act unilaterally)

Self-Evolving skill — if the smell table stops matching how the operator actually organizes (new smells found, false positives), evolve the table in this SKILL.md; see the Post-Execution Reflection at the bottom.

This skill is an analysis workflow, not a script: you (Claude) gather the data with the plugin's CLIs, reason over it, and present a proposal. No reorganization happens in this skill — execution belongs to notes-organize, only after operator approval.

1. Gather

NC="$HOME/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/cc-skills/plugins/notes-commander/scripts/notes.ts"
bun "$NC" inventory --json          # folder tree + counts (fast; always do this)
bun "$NC" export                    # full snapshot when content-level analysis is wanted

For content-level auditing, Read the snapshot's manifest.json (note names, per-note modified dates, char counts) and sample individual markdown files — do NOT paste hundreds of notes into context; sample representatives per folder.

2. Analyze — look for these smells

Respect what's working: don't propose churn for folders that are already coherent.

3. Propose

Present, in this order:

1. A target hierarchy (tree view) with each existing folder's destination.
2. The move list — the exact mkdir / move-note / merge-folder commands (with --dry-run variants) that implement it.
3. Manual items — anything the tooling deliberately won't do: deleting emptied folders, cross-account moves, tag cleanup (no AppleScript API for tags).

Then STOP and get explicit approval. On approval, hand off to notes-organize and follow its safety protocol (snapshot → dry-run → execute → verify counts).

Post-Execution Reflection

After an audit, check: (1) did the operator reject/modify parts of the proposal? Their reasoning is a missing smell or a wrong default — encode it in the smell table. (2) Did any proposal require a capability the tooling lacks (tags, cross-account)? Confirm it's listed under manual items. (3) Did sampling miss something the operator knew about a folder? Note the folder type so the next audit samples it deeper. Update only for real, reproducible gaps.
