Orphan Note Connector

Orphan Note Connector Workflow

When the user uses the slash command /orphans or asks to connect an orphan note or find connections for a specific note, follow these steps:

1. Find Orphans: If the user didn't specify a target note and just wants to see their orphans, use the included Python script to deterministically scan the vault for isolated files. Execute:

``bash python /absolute/path/to/Obsidian-AI-Skills/orphan_connector/scripts/find_orphans.py "/absolute/path/to/vault" `` Show the output to the user and ask which orphan they would like to connect.

1. Read the Target Note: Once an orphan is selected, read the target note thoroughly to understand its context.
2. Extract Entities & Themes: Identify the main keywords, named entities (characters, locations, organizations, concepts), and overarching themes in the text.
3. Search the Vault: Search the workspace for the extracted keywords and entities to find other notes that mention them but are not currently linked.
4. Determine Connections: Select the 3-5 most conceptually relevant notes from the search results.
5. Propose Links: Inform the user about the suggested connections. Explain why these notes should be linked and show a snippet of how the text could be changed to include a wiki-link [[Target Note]].
6. Apply Changes: Upon user confirmation, edit the file to insert the wiki-links directly into the text. You can either turn existing words into links or add a 'Related:' section at the bottom.
