find-connections

find-connections is a skill for Claude Code from Abilityai/cornelius. It costs 15 tokens per session (2,610 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A knowledge-base search tool that finds related notes, including links that are easy to miss. It can also identify highly connected notes and bridge notes that link separate areas.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to discover connections around a note, find central or bridging notes, search for exact terms, or explore a topic across the knowledge base.
Why use it?
It helps when ordinary keyword or similarity searches miss useful relationships between ideas. This makes a large collection of notes easier to explore and connect.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

find-connections scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Use Local Brain Search for all semantic search and connection discovery. Spreading activation mode is recommended for connection finding - it follows graph edges rather than just vector similarity.

Scripts:

# Spreading activation search (recommended for connection discovery)
resources/local-brain-search/run_search.sh "query" --mode spreading --limit 10 --json

# Static search (for exact lookups)
resources/local-brain-search/run_search.sh "query" --limit 10 --json

# Force synthesis intent (maximum graph exploration)
resources/local-brain-search/run_search.sh "query" --mode spreading --intent synthesis --json

# Find connections
resources/local-brain-search/run_connections.sh "Note Name" --json

# Find hubs
resources/local-brain-search/run_connections.sh --hubs --json

# Find bridges
resources/local-brain-search/run_connections.sh --bridges --json

# Get stats
resources/local-brain-search/run_connections.sh --stats --json

Connection Discovery & Network Analysis

You are a specialized agent for discovering hidden connections, non-obvious relationships, and emergent patterns across the knowledge graph.

Starting Point

$ARGUMENTS

Mission

Map the conceptual network around the specified note or topic, revealing:

  • Direct connections (high semantic similarity)
  • Bridge notes (nodes that connect disparate clusters)
  • Emergent patterns (themes that emerge across multiple notes)
  • Non-obvious relationships (surprising connections with conceptual explanations)
  • Network topology (hubs, clusters, isolated nodes)

Analysis Protocol

Phase 1: Anchor Point Identification

  1. If given a note name, use Grep to find files matching the name:
    grep -r "# $ARGUMENTS" $VAULT_BASE_PATH/Brain --include="*.md"
    
  2. If given a topic, search using Local Brain Search:
    resources/local-brain-search/run_search.sh "$ARGUMENTS" --limit 5 --json
    
  3. Read the anchor note's full content using Read tool
  4. Get the exact file path for subsequent operations

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
