From vicky
Condense KB - absorb redundant sources into a mature conclusion. Source files move to vicky/sources/.absorbed/ (hidden dotfolder, excluded from queries/dashboard/graph), conclusion records them under derived_from: frontmatter. Crystallization keeps the KB small while preserving provenance. Use /vicky:crystalize when one conclusion is the canonical takeaway and underlying sources no longer need to surface. Always dry-run first.

Condense the KB. Goal: small, dense knowledge base; one canonical answer per topic; provenance kept on disk but hidden from active surfaces.

Invoke: /vicky:crystalize
For a target conclusion + list of source slugs, the crystalize MCP tool:
vicky/sources/<slug>.md to vicky/sources/.absorbed/<slug>.md (Obsidian dotfolder, excluded from graph and dashboard).sources: frontmatter.derived_from: frontmatter.Run /vicky:learn after to rebuild the graph.
Do NOT crystalize when:
