# Skill: /connect [argument] Surface the non-obvious bridges between two concepts the vault hasn't linked yet — the value is in connections that surprise, not the ones you'd expect. **Don't:** use this to find existing links — that's `/backlinks`. Don't surface connections already stated in either note. ## Steps 1. Parse the argument/topic from Shane's request. 2. Follow [Qwen Protocol](_lib/qwen-protocol.md) with: - `task`: "Vault access (bash only, no MCP tools): `obsidian search query='TERM' limit=10`, `obsidian read file='Note Name'` (no .md). Find non-obvious bridges between '[argument]' and other concepts in the vault. What unexpected connections exist? What synthesis hasn't been made yet? Reject obvious connections — the value is in the surprising ones. Present 3–5 non-obvious connections, each framed as: '[Concept A] connects to [Concept B] because [non-obvious bridge]. The unexplored synthesis is [new insight].'" - `skill`: "connect" 3. Review Qwen's result, synthesize if needed, and present to Shane. 4. Follow [Concept Save Protocol](_lib/concept-save.md). ## Fallback If Qwen is unavailable: 1. Run `obsidian search query='[argument]' limit=10` via bash and cast a wide net into adjacent domains. 2. Look for: structural similarities, causal links, tensions that illuminate, synthesis opportunities. 3. Present 3–5 non-obvious connections in the format above. 4.
