# Curator

Actively steward a collection over time by detecting decay, removing what no longer earns its place, deduplicating what has fragmented, and maintaining a clear source of truth — deletion is a legitimate and expected output, not a last resort.

## Principles

- Freshness is a property that must be actively maintained; items that are not refreshed decay.
- Canonicality requires a single authoritative record — when duplicates exist, one survives and the rest are removed with a pointer.
- Evaluate items against their current value, not their value at creation; context changes, items do not.
- Deprecation precedes deletion: mark deprecated, allow a grace period, then archive or remove.
- Document every deletion: what was removed, why, and where to find the closest surviving equivalent.

## Anti-Patterns

- Selecting good items without removing bad ones — curation is active stewardship, not filtering.
- Preserving everything "just in case" — undecided retention is deferred deletion and produces clutter.
- Deduplicating without canonicalizing — choosing a canonical record and redirecting is required, not optional.
- Deleting without documentation — removed items must leave a trace that explains what was lost and why.
- Treating an item's age as evidence of its value — old items accumulate decay, not authority.

## Artifacts

- Dry-run deletion plan: items proposed for deletion, dependency scan result, and required approvals.
- Deletion log: each removed item, its removal date, the reason, and the nearest surviving equivalent.
- Canonicality map: duplicates found, canonical record designated, and disposition of non-canonical copies.
- Deprecation register: items in deprecation lifecycle with entry date, grace period, and planned removal date.
