## Auto-transitions (pure, no LLM)

- checked: 17
- marked stale: 0
- archived (no LLM, pure time-based staleness): 0
- reactivated: 0

## LLM consolidation pass

- tool calls: **43** (by name: patch=2, read_file=4, skill_manage=5, skill_view=22, skills_list=2, terminal=8)
- consolidated into umbrellas: **1**
- pruned (archived for staleness): **3**
- new skills this run: **0**
- state transitions (active ↔ stale ↔ archived): **0**

### Consolidated into umbrella skills (1)

_These skills were **absorbed into another skill** during this run — their content still lives, just under a different name. The original directory was moved to `~/.hermes/skills/.archive/` for safety and can be restored via `hermes curator restore <name>` if the consolidation was wrong._

- `multi-model-backend-audit` → merged into `multi-model-code-audit` — Both orchestrate multi-model codebase audits with fix pipelines; backend audit's unique content (batch-fix strategy, cascading breakage, severity ordering) patched into umbrella as 'Backend Audit Fix Pipeline' section

### Pruned — archived for staleness (3)

_These skills were archived without being merged into an umbrella (e.g. stale, unused, or judged irrelevant). Directories live under `~/.hermes/skills/.archive/`. Restore any via `hermes curator restore <name>`._

- `local-model-switch-optimization`
- `model-routing`
- `script-patching` — Trivial skill (v0.1, 0 uses, 3 paragraph body) containing basic 'add missing Python imports' advice; not class-level knowledge

## LLM final summary

Everything is properly merged. Here's the final report.

## Consolidation Report

### Clusters Processed

**Cluster 1: Code Audit (multi-model-backend-audit + multi-model-code-audit)**
Found two nearly-identical skills orchestrating multi-model codebase audits. The broadest (`multi-model-code-audit`) was already the natural umbrella. Patched it with a full "Backend Audit Fix Pipeline" section (~100 lines) covering finding classification, batch-fix strategy, cascading breakage handling, fix priority ordering, issue tracker format, and report format. Moved the absorbed skill's 3 unique reference files under the umbrella. Then absorbed-archived `multi-model-backend-audit`.

**Cluster 2: Model Management (local-model-switch-optimization + model-routing)**
Two skills about managing the local model fleet — one about VRAM/systemd service lifecycle, one about routing/selection strategy. Neither was broad enough to be the umbrella. Created `local-model-fleet-management` with two labeled subsections and moved all 11 reference files + 4 scripts from both originals under it. Both originals absorbed-archived.

**Cluster 3: Script Patching (script-patching)**
A thin skill (version 0.1, 0 uses, 0 patches) containing basic "add imports when you get NameError" advice — not class-level knowledge. Pruned with no merge target.

### Remaining Agent-Created Skills (14, down from 17)

These are all class-level or domain-specific, no further clusters:

| Skill | Category | Status |
|---|---|---|
| `config-test-isolation` | software-development | Keep — class-level testing methodology |
| `external-api-contract-validation` | software-development | Keep — class-level API testing methodology |
| `frontend-test-bench` | software-development | Keep — class-level dev tool workflow |
| `modular-clean-architecture` | modular-clean-architecture | Keep — already umbrella (v2.1.0, 65 uses) |
| `multi-model-code-audit` | software-development | Keep — now absorbs backend audit pipeline |
| `streaming-app-architecture` | software-development | Keep — already umbrella (v1.1.0, 29 uses) |
| `local-model-fleet-management` | devops | New umbrella — service lifecycle + routing |
| `linux-system-tuning` | devops | Keep — class-level system tuning methodology |
| `remote-access-ssh` | devops | Keep — class-level SSH management |
| `linux-gaming` | gaming | Keep — class-level gaming setup guide |
| `project-handoff` | software-development | Keep — class-level documentation process |
| `personal-onboarding` | (none) | Keep — class-level user profile onboarding |
| `market-research` | research | Keep — class-level research methodology |
| `librechat` | productivity | Keep — domain-specific (Docker setup) |

## Structured summary

```yaml
consolidations:
  - from: multi-model-backend-audit
    into: multi-model-code-audit
    reason: Both orchestrate multi-model codebase audits with fix pipelines; backend audit's unique content (batch-fix strategy, cascading breakage, severity ordering) patched into umbrella as 'Backend Audit Fix Pipeline' section
  - from: local-model-switch-optimization
    into: local-model-fleet-management
    reason: Covers VRAM-conscious service lifecycle and systemd switching — now Section A of the unified local model management umbrella
  - from: model-routing
    into: local-model-fleet-management
    reason: Covers model selection strategy and urgency classification — now Section B of the unified local model management umbrella; both originals' 11 references and 4 scripts moved under umbrella
prunings:
  - name: script-patching
    reason: Trivial skill (v0.1, 0 uses, 3 paragraph body) containing basic 'add missing Python imports' advice; not class-level knowledge
