Monitor the knowledge flywheel health.
## The Flywheel Model
```
Sessions → Transcripts → Forge → Pool → Promote → Knowledge
↑ │
└───────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Future sessions find it
```
**Velocity** = Rate of knowledge flowing through
**Friction** = Bottlenecks slowing the flywheel
## Execution Steps
Given `/flywheel`:
### Step 1: Measure Knowledge Pools
```bash
# Count learnings
LEARNINGS=$(ls .agents/learnings/ 2>/dev/null | wc -l)
# Count patterns
PATTERNS=$(ls .agents/patterns/ 2>/dev/null | wc -l)
# Count research
RESEARCH=$(ls .agents/research/ 2>/dev/null | wc -l)
# Count retros
RETROS=$(ls .agents/retros/ 2>/dev/null | wc -l)
echo "Learnings: $LEARNINGS"
echo "Patterns: $PATTERNS"
echo "Research: $RESEARCH"
echo "Retros: $RETROS"
```
### Step 2: Check Recent Activity
```bash
# Recent learnings (last 7 days)
find .agents/learnings/ -mtime -7 2>/dev/null | wc -l
# Recent research
find .agents/research/ -mtime -7 2>/dev/null | wc -l
```
### Step 3: Detect Staleness
```bash
# Old artifacts (> 30 days without modification)
find .agents/ -name "*.md" -mtime +30 2>/dev/null | wc -l
```
### Step 4: Check ao CLI Status
```bash
ao forge status 2>/dev/null || echo "ao CLI not available"
```
### Step 5: Write Health Report
**Write to:** `.agents/flywheel-status.md`
```markdown
# Knowledge Flywheel Health
**Date:** YYYY-MM-DD
## Pool Depths
| Pool | Count | Recent (7d) |
|------|-------|-------------|
| Learnings | <count> | <count> |
| Patterns | <count> | <count> |
| Research | <count> | <count> |
| Retros | <count> | <count> |
## Velocity (Last 7 Days)
- Sessions with extractions: <count>
- New learnings: <count>
- New patterns: <count>
## Health Status
<Healthy/Warning/Critical>
## Friction Points
- <issue 1>
- <issue 2>
## Recommendations
1. <recommendation>
2. <recommendation>
```
