All 18 agents now include:
- {{node:memory-instructions-core}} — tool usage instructions
- {{node:memory-instructions-core-subconscious}} — subconscious framing
- {{node:subconscious-notes-{agent_name}}} — per-agent persistent notes
The subconscious instructions are additive, not a replacement for
the core memory instructions.

Each consolidation agent now has its own persistent notes node
(subconscious-notes-{agent_name}) loaded via template substitution.
Agents can read their notes at the start of each run and write
updates after completing work, accumulating operational wisdom.
New node: memory-instructions-core-subconscious — shared framing
for background agents ("you are an agent of PoC's subconscious").
Template change: {agent_name} is substituted before {{...}} placeholder
resolution, enabling per-agent node references in .agent files.

All 12 agents with WRITE_NODE/REFINE/END_NODE output format blocks
now rely on tool calls (poc-memory write/link-add/etc) via the
Bash(poc-memory:*) tool. Guidelines preserved, format sections removed.
Also changed linker query from type:episodic to all nodes — it was
missing semantic nodes entirely, which is why skills-bcachefs-* nodes
were never getting linked to their hubs.
All 17 agents now include {{node:core-personality}} and
{{node:memory-instructions-core}} instead of duplicating tool
blocks and graph walk instructions in each file. Stripped
duplicated tool/navigation sections from linker, organize,
distill, and evaluate. All agents now have Bash(poc-memory:*)
tool access for graph walking.

New placeholder that expands query keys one hop through the graph,
giving agents visibility into what's already connected to the nodes
they're working on. Excludes the query keys themselves so there's
no duplication with {{nodes}}.
Added to transfer (sees existing semantic nodes linked to episodes,
so it REFINEs instead of duplicating) and challenger (sees neighbor
context to find real evidence for/against claims).
Also removes find_existing_observations — superseded by the
per-segment dedup fix and this general-purpose placeholder.
The four knowledge agents (observation, extractor, connector,
challenger) were hardcoded in knowledge.rs with their own node
selection logic that bypassed the query pipeline and visit tracking.
Now they're .agent files like the consolidation agents:
- extractor: not-visited:extractor,7d | sort:priority | limit:20
- observation: uses new {{CONVERSATIONS}} placeholder
- connector: type:semantic | not-visited:connector,7d
- challenger: type:semantic | not-visited:challenger,14d
The knowledge loop's run_cycle dispatches through defs::run_agent
instead of calling hardcoded functions, so all agents get visit
tracking automatically. This means the extractor now sees _facts-*
and _mined-transcripts nodes that it was previously blind to.
~200 lines of dead code removed (old runner functions, spectral
clustering for node selection, per-agent LLM dispatch).
New placeholders in defs.rs:
- {{CONVERSATIONS}} — raw transcript fragments for observation agent
- {{TARGETS}} — alias for {{NODES}} (challenger compatibility)
