connect

connect is a skill for Claude Code from technicalpickles/pickled-claude-plugins. It costs 20 tokens per session (467 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A note-processing stage that finds related notes through semantic search and adds links between them. Semantic search looks for meaning and related ideas, not only exact matching words.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it on routed notes to search for relevant notes, remove unsuitable matches, present possible connections, add selected related-note links, and update the note’s processing status.
Why use it?
It helps connect useful context that may otherwise remain scattered across a notes vault.

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

connect 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 1mo 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.

What it actually says

Connect Stage

Find related notes via semantic search (qmd) and weave forward/backward links.

See references/pipeline.md for stage definitions and status flow. See references/connecting.md for the connection discovery algorithm.

Input

A routed note with status: routed.

Process

  1. Check qmd availability:

    which qmd
    

    If not available, log "Skipped connections: qmd not available", set status: connected, and return.

  2. Extract query terms from the note's title and body

  3. Run semantic search:

    qmd query "{terms}" -c {collection} -n 15 --json
    
  4. Filter and rank per references/connecting.md:

    • Remove self
    • Remove already-linked notes
    • Remove daily notes
    • Remove low-relevance results (below 30%)
  5. If candidates found, present to human (when called by orchestrator):

    • Show candidates with scores and snippets
    • Let user multi-select which to connect
  6. For selected connections:

    • Add ## Related section to the note with wiki-links
    • Offer backlink weaving for notes that have See Also/Related/TK sections
  7. Update status to connected

Output

  • Note with ## Related section added (if connections found)
  • status: connected

Constraints

  • Graceful skip if qmd unavailable (always log that it was skipped)
  • The note being processed won't be in qmd's index yet. Search FROM its content, not for it.
  • Don't add connections the user didn't approve
  • Backlink weaving is optional (offer, don't force)
Changes

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.
