What it does
Coherence Sweep is an agent skill from Abilityai/cornelius. Run a full coherence sweep across the Brain Dependency Graph - computes staleness, lifecycle transitions, structural health, and generates a report
Its SKILL.md is about 630 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
The repository describes itself as: AI-powered second brain template for Claude Code + Obsidian. The licence is MIT.
Example prompts
- “/coherence-sweep”
Requirements
- Python 3
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash, Read, Write
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit fd5e9a4. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
BashReadWrite
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
python
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Coherence Sweep loads about 627 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 41 tokens; SKILL.md has 178 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check: notes
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.
- NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
allowed-tools: Bash, Read, Write
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Brain Coherence Sweep
Run a full coherence analysis of the knowledge base using the Brain Dependency Graph engine. Identifies stale notes, lifecycle transitions, structural issues, and optionally productive tensions.
State Dependencies
| Source | Location | Read | Write | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| LBS Graph | resources/local-brain-search/data/brain_graph.pkl | ✓ | NetworkX graph | |
| Enrichments | resources/brain-graph/data/graph_enrichments.json | ✓ | ✓ | Node/edge enrichments |
| Reports | resources/brain-graph/reports/ | ✓ | Generated reports |
Prerequisites
- Brain Dependency Graph must be bootstrapped (
run_brain_graph.sh bootstrap) - Local Brain Search index must exist
Process
Step 1: Check bootstrap status
cd $PROJECT_ROOT/resources/brain-graph
../local-brain-search/venv/bin/python cli.py statusIf not bootstrapped, run bootstrap first:
../local-brain-search/venv/bin/python cli.py bootstrapStep 2: Run coherence sweep
Default (7-day lookback, lifecycle included, no tensions):
../local-brain-search/venv/bin/python cli.py coherenceWith options:
# Include tension detection (slower)
../local-brain-search/venv/bin/python cli.py coherence --tensions
# Custom lookback period
../local-brain-search/venv/bin/python cli.py coherence --days 14
# JSON output
../local-brain-search/venv/bin/python cli.py coherence --jsonStep 3: Present results
Read the generated report and present key findings to the user:
- Staleness alerts - Notes that need review due to upstream changes
- Lifecycle transitions - Notes crossing phase boundaries (reflective -> crystallizing -> generative)
- Structural health - Orphans, overloaded hubs, missing MOCs
- Tensions (if enabled) - Productive contradictions for synthesis
Report is saved to: resources/brain-graph/reports/coherence-report-YYYY-MM-DD.md
Output Format
Present a concise summary with:
- Count of stale notes with top 5 most affected
- Notable lifecycle transitions (especially new generative notes)
- Structural issues requiring attention
- Path to full report

Questions about Coherence Sweep
What does Coherence Sweep do?
Run a full coherence sweep across the Brain Dependency Graph - computes staleness, lifecycle transitions, structural health, and generates a report. Coherence Sweep is an agent skill from Abilityai/cornelius.
How do I install Coherence Sweep in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add Abilityai/cornelius --skill coherence-sweep -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.claude/skills/coherence-sweep in Abilityai/cornelius) into .claude/skills/coherence-sweep in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install Coherence Sweep in Codex?
Run `npx skills add Abilityai/cornelius --skill coherence-sweep -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.claude/skills/coherence-sweep in Abilityai/cornelius) into .agents/skills/coherence-sweep in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use Coherence Sweep in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add Abilityai/cornelius --skill coherence-sweep -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/coherence-sweep, .gemini/skills/coherence-sweep, .github/skills/coherence-sweep and .opencode/skills/coherence-sweep in your project.
What does Coherence Sweep need to run?
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Coherence Sweep needs the command-line tools its instructions call (python). Our summary lists: Python 3. Its frontmatter pre-approves these tools: Bash, Read, Write.
Does Coherence Sweep access the network?
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is Coherence Sweep safe to install?
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found notes only (pre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: bash)), nothing it rates as a warning. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
What licence does Coherence Sweep use?
Coherence Sweep is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
How many tokens does Coherence Sweep use?
About 627 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 2.5k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
What are the alternatives to Coherence Sweep?
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Coherence Sweep: Dependency Scanning (sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, 47k stars), Dependency Check (ruvnet/ruflo, 74k stars), Second Brain Graph (undefined-ui/second-brain-os, 1k stars) and Graph (agenticnotetaking/arscontexta, 3.5k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
