SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Orphan notes are notes with zero inbound and zero outbound wikilinks, which fragment the knowledge graph and reduce discoverability. This skill identifies such notes across the Awesome Search vault so you can reconnect and strengthen graph cohesion.

Core Features & Use Cases

Find and report orphan notes across folders such as Articles, Concepts, People, Companies, and Topics.
Triage: for each orphan, classify as Integrate, Stub, or Noise and suggest 2–3 meaningful wikilinks or a flag for expansion or deletion.
Fix and report: optionally apply suggested links and generate an ORPHAN FIX SUMMARY to track integration, expansion, and cleanup.

Quick Start

Run the orphan finder to scan your vault and generate an orphan report.
