# Consolidation Agent Prompts

Five Sonnet agents, each mapping to a biological memory consolidation process.
Run during "sleep" (dream sessions) or on-demand via `poc-memory consolidate-batch`.

## Agent roles

| Agent | Biological analog | Job |
|-------|------------------|-----|
| replay | Hippocampal replay + schema assimilation | Review priority nodes, propose integration |
| linker | Relational binding (hippocampal CA1) | Extract relations from episodes, cross-link |
| separator | Pattern separation (dentate gyrus) | Resolve interfering memory pairs |
| transfer | CLS (hippocampal → cortical transfer) | Compress episodes into semantic summaries |
| health | Synaptic homeostasis (SHY/Tononi) | Audit graph health, flag structural issues |

## Invocation

Each prompt is a template. The harness (`poc-memory consolidate-batch`) fills in
the data sections with actual node content, graph metrics, and neighbor lists.

## Output format

All agents output structured actions, one per line:

```
LINK source_key target_key [strength]
CATEGORIZE key category
COMPRESS key "one-sentence summary"
EXTRACT key topic_file.md section_name
CONFLICT key1 key2 "description"
DIFFERENTIATE key1 key2 "what makes them distinct"
MERGE key1 key2 "merged summary"
DIGEST "title" "content"
NOTE "observation about the graph or memory system"
```

The harness parses these and either executes (low-risk: LINK, CATEGORIZE, NOTE)
or queues for review (high-risk: COMPRESS, EXTRACT, MERGE, DIGEST).
