What it does

Meditate is an agent skill from poteto/noodle. Audit and evolve the brain vault — prune outdated content, discover cross-cutting principles, review skills for structural encoding opportunities. Triggers: "meditate", "audit the brain", "prune brain", "review skills", "consolidate notes", "prune notes".

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/agents.md` and `scripts/snapshot.sh`).

It sits in Agent Workflows. The repository describes itself as: Orchestrate agents using skills. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Agent Workflows work in your project

Example prompts

  • “meditate”
  • “audit the brain”
  • “prune brain”
  • “/meditate”

Requirements

  • A Bash shell

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Build snapshots
  2. Auditor (blocking — its report feeds step 3)
  3. Reviewer (after auditor completes)
  4. Review reports
  5. Route skill-specific learnings
  6. Apply changes
  7. Housekeep

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 82d2921. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • sh

    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

Meditate loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 66 tokens; SKILL.md has 450 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~66
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.3k

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 passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Meditate

Autonomous Session Mode

When running non-interactively (Cook, Oops, Repair):

  • Apply all high-confidence changes autonomously. For ambiguous or risky changes (brain file deletions, principle rewrites), file a todo instead.
  • Commit all changes with the /commit skill.

Quality bar: A note earns its place by being high-signal (Claude would reliably get this wrong without it), high-frequency (comes up in most sessions or most tasks of a type), or high-impact (getting it wrong causes significant damage or wasted work). Everything else is noise. A lean, precise brain outperforms a comprehensive but bloated one.

Process

Use Tasks to track progress (TaskCreate per step, TaskUpdate to in_progress/completed).

1. Build snapshots
bash
sh <skill-path>/scripts/snapshot.sh brain/ /tmp/brain-snapshot.md
sh <skill-path>/scripts/snapshot.sh .agents/skills/ /tmp/skills-snapshot.md

Files are delimited with === path/to/file.md === headers. Also locate the auto-memory directory (~/.claude/projects/<project>/memory/).

2. Auditor (blocking — its report feeds step 3)

Spawn general-purpose subagent. See references/agents.md § Auditor for the full prompt spec. Inputs: brain snapshot, auto-memory path, CLAUDE.md path.

Audits brain notes, CLAUDE.md, and auto-memory for staleness, redundancy, low-value content, verbosity, and orphans. Returns a categorized report.

Early-exit gate: If the auditor finds fewer than 3 actionable items, skip step 3 and go directly to step 4.

3. Reviewer (after auditor completes)

Spawn one general-purpose subagent. See references/agents.md § Reviewer for the full prompt spec. Inputs: brain snapshot, skills snapshot, auditor report, brain/principles.md.

Combines three concerns in a single pass:

  • Synthesis: Proposes missing wikilinks, flags principle tensions, suggests clarifications.
  • Distillation: Identifies recurring patterns that reveal unstated principles. New principles must be (1) independent, (2) evidenced by 2+ notes, (3) actionable.
  • Skill review: Cross-references skills against brain principles. Finds contradictions, missed structural enforcement, redundant instructions. Audits description frontmatters for context bloat.
Show full SKILL.md (186 more words)Show less
4. Review reports

Present the user with a consolidated summary. See references/agents.md § Report Template for the format.

5. Route skill-specific learnings

Check all reports for findings that belong in skill files, not brain/. Update the skill's SKILL.md or references/ directly. Read the skill first to avoid duplication.

6. Apply changes

Apply all changes directly. The user reviews the diff.

  • Outdated notes: Update or delete
  • Redundant notes: Merge into the stronger note, delete the weaker
  • Low-value notes: Delete
  • Verbose notes: Condense in place
  • New connections: Add [[wikilinks]]
  • Tensions: Reword to clarify boundaries
  • New principles: Only from the distillation section, only if genuinely independent. Write brain files and update brain/principles.md
  • Merge principles: Look for principles that are subsets or specific applications of each other — merge the narrower into the broader and pick a name that captures the combined insight
  • Bloated skill descriptions: Tighten frontmatter descriptions — cut what Claude can infer, keep only distinctive triggers and purpose
  • CLAUDE.md issues: Rewrite or delete
  • Stale memories: Delete or rewrite
7. Housekeep

Clean stale .noodle/ state (old debates, completed sessions, stale plan artifacts). Update brain/index.md for any files added or removed.
