Graph Builder

Analyze vault link structure and build meaningful connections between notes.

Architecture

+------------------------------------------+
|  1. SCRIPT analyze.py (deterministic)    |
|     -> vault-graph.json + report.md      |
+-----------------+------------------------+
                  |
                  v
+------------------------------------------+
|  2. AGENT (you)                          |
|     -> orphan analysis                   |
|     -> semantic links                    |
|     -> frontmatter updates               |
|     -> HTML report                       |
+------------------------------------------+

Trigger

• /graph -- manual run
• After life-pilot-processor in chain (optional)
• Weekly: full rebuild

---

STEP 1: Run the script

uv run vault/.claude/skills/graph-builder/scripts/analyze.py

Script does:

1. Traverses all .md files in vault/
2. Parses frontmatter
3. Extracts wiki-links [[path]] and [[path|alias]]
4. Determines domain (business, projects, personal)
5. Finds orphan files (no links)
6. Finds broken links
7. Generates vault/.graph/vault-graph.json
8. Generates vault/.graph/report.md

CRITICAL: Always run the script first! It provides up-to-date data.

---

STEP 2: Read script output

Read vault/.graph/vault-graph.json:

{
  "stats": {
    "total_files": 331,
    "orphan_files": 147,
    "broken_links": 167
  },
  "orphans": ["path/to/file.md", ...],
  "broken_links": [{"from": "...", "to": "..."}, ...]
}

---

STEP 3: Analyze orphan files

For each orphan file (start with non-daily files):

1. Read the file content

2. Find potential links:

   • Company mentions -> business/crm/{company}.md
   • People mentions -> search in contacts/
   • Tags -> files with matching tags
   • Dates -> daily/ for that day
   • Topics -> thoughts/learnings/, MOC/

3. Suggest links -- add to frontmatter related: []

Link search patterns

Mention	Link
Acme Corp, Acme	[[business/crm/acme-corp]]
PhoneBrand	[[business/crm/phone-brand]]
TechCo	[[business/crm/tech-co]]
SchoolCo	[[projects/leads/school-co]]
AutoDealer	[[projects/leads/auto-dealer]]
AI, Claude, GPT	thoughts/learnings/ with AI topic

---

STEP 4: Update frontmatter

Link format in frontmatter:

---
type: learning
domain: personal
tags: [ai, marketing]
related:
  - "[[business/crm/acme-corp]]"
  - "[[projects/leads/school-co]]"
  - "[[thoughts/learnings/agent-memory-system]]"
---

Rules:

• Only add real links (file exists)
• Do not duplicate existing links
• Maximum 5-7 links per file
• Use "[[path]]" format with quotes

---

STEP 5: Update MOC (if needed)

Check MOC files:

• MOC/MOC-learnings.md -- add new learnings
• MOC/MOC-projects.md -- create if missing

---

STEP 6: HTML report

Return RAW HTML for Telegram:

Graph Builder Report

Analyzed:

• Files: {total_files}
• Links: {total_links}
• Orphans: {orphan_files}
• Broken links: {broken_links}

Business: {files} files, {links} links Projects: {files} files, {links} links Personal: {files} files, {links} links

Links added: {count}

• {file1} -> {file2}
• {file3} -> {file4}

Needs attention:

• {broken_count} broken links
• {orphan_count} orphan files

Details: vault/.graph/report.md

---

Three domains

Personal

• thoughts/ -- learnings, ideas, reflections
• goals/ -- yearly, monthly, weekly
• daily/ -- raw entries
• Hub: MEMORY.md

Business

• business/crm/ -- clients + deals (N files)
• business/network/ -- org structure
• Hub: business/_index.md

Projects

• projects/clients/ -- project clients
• projects/leads/ -- leads
• Hub: projects/_index.md

---

Orphan processing priority

1. business/crm/ -- business-critical, many orphans
2. thoughts/learnings/ -- valuable knowledge
3. projects/ -- active projects
4. daily/ -- old entries (low priority)

---

Do not

• Do not change file content (only frontmatter)
• Do not add links to non-existent files
• Do not process files in .obsidian/, attachments/, backup/
• Do not create new files without reason

---

References

• references/domains.md -- domain details
• references/entities.md -- entity patterns
• references/frontmatter.md -- frontmatter schema
