Athena — Active Knowledge Intelligence

Run the Mine → Grow → Defrag cycle to keep the knowledge flywheel healthy.

What This Skill Does

The flywheel captures learnings reactively (via /retro, /post-mortem). Athena closes the loop by actively mining for unextracted signal, validating existing learnings against current code, synthesizing cross-domain insights, and cleaning up stale or duplicate artifacts.

When to use: Before an evolve cycle, after a burst of development, or weekly. Athena is non-destructive — it proposes changes without modifying existing learnings.
