Schema Apply

Schema Application

Apply inferred conventions to incomplete notes. Suggests and adds missing fields based on what similar notes have.

When to Use

Invoke when you want to:

• Add missing frontmatter fields to notes
• Batch-fix incomplete metadata
• Apply folder conventions to outliers
• Normalize notes to match their peers

Arguments

Process

1. Parse User Input

Recognize application requests:

• "apply inferred schema to incomplete notes"
• "add missing fields to meetings/"
• "fix incomplete notes in projects/"

2. Find Incomplete Notes

mcp__flywheel__find_incomplete_notes({
  folder: "meetings/",
  min_frequency: 0.7
})

3. Preview Changes

## Schema Application Preview

I'll add missing fields based on inferred conventions:

### meetings/2025-12-20 Client Call.md
Adding:
```yaml
attendees:
  - [[Sarah Chen]]
  - [[Marcus Johnson]]
tags:
  - meeting
  - client

meetings/2025-12-22 Quick Sync.md

Adding:

tags:
  - meeting
  - standup

Proceed with these changes? (y/n)

### 4. Apply Changes (with confirmation)

Use Read to get current content, Edit to add fields.

## Six Gates Compliance

| Gate | Implementation |
|------|----------------|
| 1. Read Before Write | Reads current file before any changes |
| 2. File Exists | Validates file exists via find_incomplete_notes |
| 3. Chain Validation | N/A (single step) |
| 4. Mutation Confirmation | Always shows preview, requires confirmation |
| 5. Health Check | Uses MCP health infrastructure |
| 6. Post Validation | Confirms changes after applying |

## Use Cases

- **Batch normalization**: "Make all meeting notes consistent"
- **New note completion**: "Add standard fields to my new note"
- **Migration support**: "Ensure all notes have required fields"

## Integration

Works well with other skills:
- **schema-infer**: See what fields will be applied
- **schema-gaps**: Find notes needing fixes
- **promote-frontmatter**: Extract prose patterns first
