Find hidden connections between notes and suggest wiki-links.

When to Use

User wants to find related notes
After a batch of captures, to weave them into the graph
Finding orphan notes (no incoming or outgoing links)
Building or updating a Map of Content (MOC)
/rulebased-second-brain:connect invoked

Procedure

Mode 1: Connect a Specific Note

Read the target note fully.
Scan the brain for related notes:
- Grep for shared keywords, phrases, and concepts
- Check tags overlap
- Look at existing [[wiki-links]] for neighborhood
Rank candidates by relevance:
- Shared tags (weight: 2)
- Shared keywords in title (weight: 3)
- Shared keywords in body (weight: 1)
- Same folder proximity (weight: 1)

Present top 5 connections with reasoning:

Suggested connections for "distributed-caching-idea":
1. [[redis-patterns]] — shared: #dev #caching, both discuss TTL strategies
2. [[system-design-notes]] — shared: #architecture, mentions caching layer
3. [[project-x-perf]] — discusses cache invalidation problems

On approval, add [[wiki-links]] to both notes (bidirectional) and update related frontmatter field.

Mode 2: Orphan Scan

Build link index: Scan all .md files for [[...]] patterns.
Find orphans: Notes with zero incoming AND zero outgoing links.
Report orphans with suggested actions (connect, archive, or skip).
Act on user choices.

Mode 3: Cluster Discovery

Scan all notes for tag and keyword clusters.
Identify topic groups that could become MOCs (check system/growth-triggers.md for MOC creation criteria).
Suggest new MOC creation in the appropriate folder.

Rules

Always make links bidirectional: if A links to B, B should link to A.
Add links to the related frontmatter array AND as inline [[wiki-links]].
Never delete existing links. Only add new ones.
Show reasoning for each suggested connection.
Limit suggestions to top 5 per note to avoid noise.

Output Format

For each connection suggestion:

[relevance: high|medium] [[target-note]] — reason
