Kent Overstreet 3e883b7ba7 show suggested link targets in agent prompts
Agents were flying blind — they could see nodes to review and the
topology header, but had no way to discover what targets to link to.
Now each node shows its top 8 text-similar semantic nodes that aren't
already neighbors, giving agents a search-like capability.

Also added section-level targeting guidance to linker.md, transfer.md,
and replay.md prompts: always target the most specific section, not
the file-level node.

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).
