Usage

/stale

No arguments needed — the auditor scans everything automatically.

What it does

  1. Reads every article in content/articles/ and checks lastVerified against reviewFrequency (quarterly = 90 days, annual = 365 days)
  2. Reads every tool JSON in content/tools/ and checks last_verified against volatile_fields
  3. Produces a prioritized list: overdue first, then approaching threshold
  4. Updates content/stale-log.md with the findings
  5. Flags any volatile articles (volatile: true) that are past their review window as high-priority
