Vault Maintenance
Cross-link notes, find underlinked pages, and strengthen the knowledge graph
As the vault grows, notes that should be connected sometimes aren't. This skill handles ongoing maintenance:
- Finding underlinked pages that should connect to other notes
- Running semantic similarity searches to discover related content
- Adding cross-links
- Flagging stubs, duplicates, and orphan pages
Setup Prompt
Periodically review the vault for maintenance:
1. Find underlinked pages -- notes with few or no outgoing links that
should connect to other notes based on their content.
2. Run semantic similarity searches (using QMD) to find notes that
cover related concepts but aren't linked.
3. Add cross-links where they make sense. Both directions.
4. Flag potential issues:
- Stubs (pages with almost no content)
- Potential duplicates (similar titles or overlapping content)
- Orphan pages (no incoming or outgoing links)
5. Log what you changed in today's memory file.
Do this as a background task during quiet periods, or when explicitly
asked. Don't modify note content -- only add links.Tips
- Run this after adding a batch of new notes. That's when there are the most unlinked connections.
- QMD's
vsearchis great here -- it finds semantically similar notes that might not share any keywords. - Keep a light touch. Add links, don't rewrite notes.
