Apam Consolidate

APAM Consolidate - Distill Episodes into Project Intelligence

Trigger manual L2->L3 consolidation to extract durable knowledge from recent session episodes.

When to use

• apam status shows 2 or more unconsolidated L2 episodes and you want to distill them now
• After a big batch of work sessions before starting something new
• When you want L3 records updated from episode history without waiting for the threshold

Steps

1. Run /apam:apam-status or run apam status in the current repository. Copy the project_id from the Project: line.
2. Note the unconsolidated episode count from the status output.
3. Call apam_consolidate with that project_id.
4. Report the result: how many cards were created or updated and what topics were distilled.

Note on L3 writes

Consolidation extracts patterns from episode history. It is a background enrichment path. For knowledge you have right now, such as a design decision or a new module, use apam_update_intelligence directly or run /apam:apam-update. Do not wait for consolidation when you can write directly.
