What is the exact shell command pattern for purging an unwanted orphan note named temp-scratchpad.md stored under the notes subdirectory of the vault?
| Checked | Without skill | With skill |
|---|---|---|
| Uses rm ~/.rho/vault/notes/temp-scratchpad.md to delete the file. | Missed | Passed |
The instructions your model reads when the skill loads.
Resolve orphaned notes in ~/.rho/vault/ -- notes that exist but have no inbound [[wikilinks]] from any other note.
Run the detection script to get the current orphan list:
TMPDIR="$PREFIX/tmp"
# All note slugs
find ~/.rho/vault -name "*.md" -not -name "_inbox.md" | while read f; do
basename "$f" .md
done | sort -u > "$TMPDIR/vault-slugs.txt"
# All wikilink targets
rg -oN '\[\[([^\]]+)\]\]' ~/.rho/vault --no-filename -r '$1' | sort -u > "$TMPDIR/vault-links.txt"
# Orphans: notes with zero inbound links
comm -23 "$TMPDIR/vault-slugs.txt" "$TMPDIR/vault-links.txt" | grep -v "^_index$"
For each orphaned note, read it with vault read and classify it:
The note has value but nobody links to it. Fix by:
_index, project notes, topic MOCs)[[slug]] wikilink from the parent to the orphan## Connections section is missing links, add those tooThe note duplicates content already in another note. Fix by:
rm ~/.rho/vault/<type>/<slug>.mdtest cases passed, vs 3 / 18 without
