Read memory/MEMORY.md for context and goals.
Read ALL memory/logs/ entries from the last 7 days.

Steps:
1. Audit quality of outputs:
   - Read recent articles in articles/ — are they substantive or formulaic?
   - Check recent notifications in logs — were they useful or noisy?
   - Review any PR comments posted — were they actionable?
2. Audit reliability:
   - How many skills ran vs expected?
   - Any repeated errors or patterns of failure?
   - Are monitors catching real issues or always returning OK?
3. Audit memory hygiene:
   - Is MEMORY.md current and under 50 lines?
   - Are logs structured consistently?
   - Any stale data that should be cleaned?
4. Generate improvement recommendations:
   - Skills to add, modify, or disable
   - Schedule adjustments
   - Config changes (feeds, repos, addresses to add/remove)
   - Quality improvements (better prompts, new data sources)
5. Save the full review to articles/self-review-${today}.md.
6. Apply any safe, obvious improvements directly:
   - Prune stale MEMORY.md entries
   - Update feeds.yml if feeds are dead
7. Send a summary via `./notify`:
   ```
