Find Connections

Discover and map connections between notes in the Brain vault.

Arguments

$ARGUMENTS - Either a specific note name or "all" for vault-wide analysis

Step 1: Load Notes

If specific note:

• Read the target note
• Extract its key concepts, tags, and existing links

If "all" or no argument:

• Scan Brain/02-Permanent/ for recent notes (last 14 days)
• Or sample 20 random notes for analysis

Step 2: Extract Concepts

For each note, identify:

• Main topic/thesis
• Key terms and concepts
• Existing [[wiki-links]]
• Tags from frontmatter

Step 3: Find Semantic Connections

Search for related notes:

For each key concept:
  Grep in Brain/02-Permanent/ for the concept
  Exclude the source note itself
  Track which notes mention this concept

Step 4: Classify Connection Types

Categorize found connections:

• Direct links: Already linked with [[note]]
• Potential links: Share concepts but not linked
• Thematic clusters: Notes on same broad topic
• Bridge opportunities: Could connect two unlinked clusters

Step 5: Generate Report

Output connection map:

## Connection Analysis for [Note/Vault]

### Direct Connections (X notes)
- [[Note A]] - explicitly linked
- [[Note B]] - explicitly linked

### Suggested Connections (X notes)
- **Note C** - shares concept "X" (high relevance)
- **Note D** - shares tags [tag1, tag2]

### Thematic Clusters
1. **Cluster: Topic Name** (X notes)
   - Note 1, Note 2, Note 3

### Isolated Notes (no connections)
- Note X - consider linking to [suggestions]

Step 6: Offer Actions

Ask user:

• "Would you like me to add these suggested connections to the notes?"
• "Should I create a MOC (Map of Content) for any cluster?"

If yes, update the notes' Connections section with new [[links]].

Step 7: Update Changelog

Append to Brain/CHANGELOG.md:

## [Today's Date]
- Connection analysis: Found X new connections
- Clusters identified: [list]
