Vault Audit - 2025-12-31

Executive Summary

MetricValue
Health Score7/10
Total Issues48
Critical5
High12
Medium18
Low13

The vault is in good overall health with strong structural organization and consistent frontmatter usage. Primary concerns are inbox items needing processing, notes missing required tags, and empty content areas (Checklists folder). The broken links issue from the previous audit appears to be largely related to quartz/node_modules rather than actual vault content.

Issues by Severity

Critical (Fix Immediately)

High Priority (Fix This Week)

Medium Priority (Fix This Month)

  • Notes missing descriptions - 66 files lack description: field:
    • Multiple inbox notes
    • Several code snippets
    • Some definition files
  • Stale journal structure - 2024 journal has 71+ daily notes but 2025 only has 4 visible entries
  • Empty description fields - Several notes have description: but no value:
  • Inconsistent Type/Documentation tag - Google Programmable Search Engine.md uses Type/Documentation which isn’t in standard taxonomy (should be Type/Guide or Type/Note)
  • Missing Topic tags - 75 files lack any Topic/ categorization
  • Large files needing TOC - Files over 10,000 characters should have table of contents (some may be missing)
  • Code READMEs incomplete - Several Code folder READMEs have only 2 Type/Readme entries
  • Clippings without proper processing - 3 web clips in Integrations/Clippings need review

Low Priority (Backlog)

  • Orphaned notes analysis - Consider running Dataview query to find notes with zero inlinks
  • Tag consolidation - Review tag usage for potential consolidation:
    • Type/Documentation vs Type/Guide
    • Multiple Topic/ tags for related areas
  • Template improvements - Add Type/Acronym combined with Type/Definition guidance
  • MOC link density - Some MOCs have only 5-7 links; could benefit from more connections
  • Journal template consistency - Ensure all daily notes have backlinks section
  • Quartz publishing review - Verify publish: true/false settings are correct across vault
  • Definition naming standardization - New definitions use Definition - Term.md pattern but older ones don’t (e.g., DuckDB.md vs Definition - Information Theory.md)
  • .cursor/commands/` documentation - 14 command files for vault automation
  • Copilot prompts cleanup - 10 custom prompts in 05-SYSTEM/Copilot
