Tell linker and organize agents to:
- Name unnamed concepts: when 3+ nodes share a theme with no hub,
create one with WRITE_NODE that synthesizes the generalization
- Percolate up: gather key insights from children into hub content,
so the hub is self-contained without needing to follow every link
This addresses the gap where agents are good at extraction and linking
but not synthesis — turning episodic observations into semantic concepts.

Remove all the quoting instructions, warnings about shell comments,
and "CRITICAL" blocks about single quotes. Keys are plain dashes now.
Agent tool examples are clean and minimal.

Linker: give it Bash(poc-memory:*) tools so it can render nodes,
query neighbors, and search before creating. Adds search-before-create
discipline to reduce redundant node creation.
Organize: remove MERGE operation, make DELETE conservative (only true
duplicates or garbage). Add "Preserve diversity" rule — multiple nodes
on similar topics are features, not bugs. LINK is primary operation.

Three places duplicated the agent execution loop (build prompt → call
LLM → store output → parse actions → record visits): consolidate.rs,
knowledge.rs, and daemon.rs. Extract into run_one_agent() in
knowledge.rs that all three now call.
Also standardize consolidation agent prompts to use WRITE_NODE/LINK/REFINE
— the same commands the parser handles. Previously agents output
CATEGORIZE/NOTE/EXTRACT/DIGEST/DIFFERENTIATE/MERGE/COMPRESS which were
silently dropped after the second-LLM-call removal.
Each agent is a .agent file: JSON config on the first line, blank line,
then the raw prompt markdown. Fully self-contained, fully readable.
No separate template files needed.
Agents dir: checked into repo at poc-memory/agents/. Code looks there
first (via CARGO_MANIFEST_DIR), falls back to ~/.claude/memory/agents/.
Three agents migrated: replay, linker, transfer.
