// Find orphan notes in the Awesome Search Obsidian vault — notes with no wikilinks in or out — and suggest or apply connections to existing notes. Use when running a graph health audit or when the KG feels sparse.
Build and maintain a dense semantic knowledge graph about search and IR inside an Obsidian vault. Triggers on article URLs, article titles or names (from Clippings/, raw_articles/, or unprocessed vault notes), and requests to enrich or reprocess existing notes for concepts, people, companies, tools, or topics.
Find disconnected clusters in the Awesome Search Obsidian vault — groups of notes that are internally linked but isolated from the rest of the graph. Identify semantic overlap between clusters and suggest bridge links. Use for deep graph connectivity audits.
Audit all notes in the Awesome Search Obsidian vault for missing or incomplete frontmatter. Reports violations by folder and optionally auto-fixes notes where values can be inferred from content. Use for KG consistency checks.
Audit hub notes in the Awesome Search Obsidian vault — rank notes by inbound link count and compare against existing Topics/ notes. Surfaces mismatches where high-traffic concepts lack a proper topic page. Use for periodic graph structure reviews.

Use this skill to find and fix orphan notes: notes with zero inbound and zero outbound wikilinks. Orphans are captured ideas that were never connected to the knowledge graph.
Always use the Obsidian MCP server for all vault operations — never access the vault directly via the filesystem (no Read/Write/Bash file tools). The MCP server is the only sanctioned way to read, search, create, and edit notes.
Scan all notes in Awesome Search/ for files that contain no [[wikilinks]] in their body AND have no other notes linking to them.
Check each folder:
Awesome Search/Articles/Awesome Search/Concepts/Awesome Search/People/Awesome Search/Companies/Awesome Search/Topics/A note is an orphan if:
[[...]] wikilinks, AND[[NoteTitle]] reference to itOutput a table grouped by folder:
