Vet Fact

Primitive: WORTH — does this candidate fact deserve a current-guidance line at all?

Steps

State the fact in one line, then apply the gate: would a capable future agent likely get the wrong answer without it? Cut it when code, configuration, or live help reveals it reliably; lookup cost alone does not justify current guidance.
Keep WORTH inside current guidance:
- Exclude state and evidence records. Do not run an active-state document or dated investigation through this lens; apply WORTH only to conclusions proposed for current guidance.
- Preserve freshness provenance. Keep a per-entry Discovered: YYYY-MM (sha) stamp only when it lets a future agent judge whether a current workaround's premise is stale; a trim must preserve it.
Cut a current-guidance candidate on any hit:
- Setup. Put setup and onboarding in the README.
- History. Cut dates, plan IDs, commit SHAs, superseded/originally notes, completion summaries, and deferred-item lists.
- Defaults. Cut restated framework or harness defaults.
- Drift-prone literals. Cut hex codes, version pins, and exact syntax unless the literal is itself load-bearing.
Keep only a recognized category:
