Integrate Recent Notes

Find recently created notes and map their connections to the existing knowledge base.

Purpose

New notes often sit unconnected. This playbook identifies notes from the last 14 days and discovers how they integrate with existing knowledge.

State Dependencies

Prerequisites

• Local Brain Search index up-to-date (/refresh-index)

Process

Step 1: Find Recent Notes

Find notes modified in the last 14 days:

find Brain/02-Permanent -name "*.md" -mtime -14 -type f
find Brain/AI\ Extracted\ Notes -name "*.md" -mtime -14 -type f
find Brain/Document\ Insights -name "*.md" -mtime -14 -type f
find Brain/Books -name "*.md" -mtime -14 -type f

Compile list of recent notes.

Step 2: Get Current Date

date '+%Y-%m-%d'

Step 3: Analyze Connections for Each

For each recent note:

1. Extract note title from filename
2. Run connection discovery (wide read-scope: recent notes live in 00-Inbox / Document Insights / Books / 05-Meta - core-only would fail to resolve the note itself or its non-core neighbors once scope enforcement is on):

   BRAIN_READ_SCOPE=core,Books,document-insights,meta,inbox,output resources/local-brain-search/run_connections.sh "Note Title" --json

3. Record top 5 connections with similarity scores
4. Check BDG layer classification:

   resources/brain-graph/run_brain_graph.sh inspect "Note Title" --json

Step 4: Identify Integration Opportunities

For each note, categorize:

• Well-connected (3+ connections > 0.70): Already integrated
• Partially connected (1-2 connections > 0.70): Needs attention
• Isolated (0 connections > 0.70): Priority for integration

Step 5: Create Integration Report

Write to Brain/05-Meta/Changelogs/CHANGELOG - Note Integration YYYY-MM-DD.md:

## Note Integration Report: YYYY-MM-DD

### Recent Notes Analyzed
Total: [N] notes from last 14 days

### Integration Status

**Well-Connected** ([N]):
- [[Note A]] - 5 connections

**Partially Connected** ([N]):
- [[Note B]] - 2 connections
  - Suggested: Link to [[X]], [[Y]]

**Isolated - Priority** ([N]):
- [[Note C]] - 0 connections
  - Top semantic matches: [[X]] (0.65), [[Y]] (0.62)
  - Integration suggestion: [brief recommendation]

### Suggested Actions
1. [specific linking recommendations]
2. [synthesis opportunities]

Outputs

• Integration report in Brain/05-Meta/Changelogs/
• List of isolated notes needing attention
