# /minutes-lint

Run a consistency check across policy-authorized normal meetings to find
decision conflicts and stale commitments. Restricted meetings are excluded from
this agent workflow by default and must never be described as absent evidence.

## How to run the lint

1. **Run the consistency check**:
   ```bash
   minutes consistency --stale-after-days 14
   ```

   Optional filters:
   - `--owner <name>` — limit to commitments assigned to a specific person
   - `--stale-after-days <N>` — change the staleness threshold (default: 7)

2. **Parse the JSON output** and present it as readable markdown.

## Formatting the report

### Decision Conflicts

For each conflict, show:

```
**Topic: {topic}**
- Latest: "{latest decision text}" — *{meeting title}* ({date})
- Prior: "{prior decision text}" — *{meeting title}* ({date})
- **Status**: These decisions may contradict each other.
```

**Frontmatter v2: resolved supersessions.** When the `resolution` field is
present on a conflict, the newer decision has a `supersedes:` entry in its
frontmatter. Treat this as informational, not a red flag. Format as:

```
**Topic: {topic}** ✓ Resolved
- Current: "{latest decision text}" — *{meeting title}* ({date})
- Superseded: "{prior decision text}" — *{meeting title}* ({date})
- **Status**: {resolution text}
```

If the latest decision also carries an `authority` field (`high`/`medium`/`low`),
surface it next to the title. Authority is optional — when absent, omit the tag.

### Stale Commitments

For each stale item, show:

```
- [ ] **@{who}**: {task} (due {due_date}, {age_days} days overdue)
  - Last discussed: *{meeting title}* ({date})
```

### Clean bill of health

If no conflicts and no stale commitments, say: "No decision conflicts or stale commitments found across your meetings. Everything looks consistent."

## When to suggest next steps

- If there are decision conflicts: suggest running `/minutes-debrief` on the most recent conflicting meeting, or `/minutes-search "{topic}"` to review the full decision history
- If there are stale commitments: suggest the user update the action item status in the meeting file, or bring it up in the next meeting with that person
- Relationship-graph commitments come from `minutes commitments --json`; treat a nonzero exit as unavailable, never empty

## Gotchas

- **The consistency check reads live Markdown** — it uses stable source snapshots, not a durable graph cache. If a result looks wrong, inspect and correct the referenced meeting source; do not suggest deleting or rebuilding `graph.db` (it does not exist)
- **Stale != forgotten** — some action items are intentionally deferred. Don't alarm the user; present the data and let them decide
- **Decision conflicts are topic-based** — two meetings discussing "pricing" with different conclusions will flag, even if the later decision intentionally superseded the earlier one. Context matters.
