SKILL

Close Semioverse Gap

A gap in the semioverse is a reference that does not resolve — a thing handle that points to nothing, a link to a page that does not exist, a skill dependency that cannot be satisfied. Gaps are visible as broken interaction surfaces.

Identifying gaps

1. Run /audit-vault-references to find broken wikilinks and markdown links.
2. Run /audit-content-folders to find directories missing index.md.
3. Check skill dependencies: read SKILL.md files and verify their dependencies: paths exist.

Closing a gap

For each gap, determine the minimal artifact needed to resolve it:

• Missing page referenced by wikilink: create the page with /write-new-note or /make-content-folder (if it is a directory).
• Missing term or concept: create a stub in the appropriate terms/ or concepts/ directory with at minimum a title, date-created, and one-sentence definition.
• Missing person page: create in encyclopedia/people/ with full name as title.
• Missing skill dependency: either create the missing skill or update the dependency to point to the correct existing skill.
• Broken relative path: fix the link target rather than creating a new page.

The principle is minimality: create the smallest artifact that resolves the gap. Do not generate large speculative documents to fill gaps — a stub with correct frontmatter and one sentence is better than a long page of uncertain content.

Recording the closure

After closing gaps, the audit script should show fewer broken references. Run it again to verify. If the gap was in a skill’s dependency list, verify the skill can now be invoked without errors.
