Runtime Configuration (Step 0 — before any processing)
Read these files to configure domain-specific behavior:
-
ops/derivation-manifest.md— vocabulary mapping- Use
vocabulary.notesfor the notes folder name - Use
vocabulary.note/vocabulary.note_pluralfor note type references - Use
vocabulary.topic_map/vocabulary.topic_map_pluralfor MOC references - Use
vocabulary.inboxfor the inbox folder name - Use
vocabulary.notes_collectionfor semantic search collection name
- Use
-
ops/config.yaml— processing depth, automation settings
If no derivation file exists, use universal terms (notes, MOCs, etc.).
EXECUTE NOW
Target: $ARGUMENTS
Parse immediately:
- If target contains
--share: output compact shareable format after full stats - If target is empty: output full stats display
- If target names a specific category (e.g., "health", "growth", "pipeline"): show only that category
START NOW. Collect metrics and present them.
Philosophy
Make the invisible visible.
The knowledge graph grows silently. Without metrics, the user cannot tell whether their system is healthy, growing, stagnating, or fragmenting. /stats provides a snapshot that makes growth tangible — numbers that show progress, health indicators that catch problems, and trends that reveal trajectory.
The output should make the user feel informed, not overwhelmed. Metrics are evidence, not judgment. "12 orphans" is a fact. What to DO about it belongs to /graph or /{vocabulary.cmd_reflect}.
Step 1: Collect Metrics
Gather all metrics. Run these checks in parallel where possible to minimize latency.

Adapt all directory names to domain vocabulary. Skip checks for directories that do not exist — report "N/A" instead of errors.
Step 2: Format Output
Full Output (default)
Generate a progress bar for the Processed metric:
Progress bar calculation:
filled = PROCESSED_PCT / 5 (number of = characters out of 20)
empty = 20 - filled
bar = [===... ] PCT%
