SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Personal knowledge bases accumulate hundreds of notes, but the valuable non-obvious connections between them remain hidden. Manual cross-referencing does not scale, and naive LLM summarization only restates what single notes already say. This Skill discovers genuinely new insights by pairing notes, generating connection hypotheses, scoring them with an independent critic, and discarding anything below a quality threshold. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Generator-Critic Pipeline: Samples 20-50 recency-weighted note pairs, generates connection hypotheses in parallel on cheaper models, then scores each on novelty, utility, and grounding (1-10 scale). - Quality Threshold Filtering: Only insights averaging 7.0 or higher survive; weak connections are discarded by default so quality always beats quantity. - Traceable Insight Notes: Every persisted insight links back to its source pair, critic score, and a suggested next action, then rolls up into a digest with top insights first. - Use Case: Ask to find hidden connections between your notes on two research topics; the Skill samples pairs, proposes links like a shared underlying mechanism, filters out shallow ones, and delivers a digest of scored insight notes with suggested actions. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to find non-obvious connections between your notes on two topics and produce a digest of the highest-scoring insights.

FAQPage Schema
How do I find hidden connections between my notes with AI?▼

Use a generator-critic synthesis pipeline: sample 20-50 pairs of notes, generate one connection hypothesis per pair, then have a separate critic score each on novelty, utility, and grounding. Only insights averaging 7.0 or higher are kept as insight notes.

What is the difference between knowledge synthesis and search?▼

Search retrieves existing facts from individual notes, while synthesis creates new connections that do not appear in any single note. This Skill explicitly refuses plain lookup requests and redirects them, since its purpose is generating novel cross-note insights.

How do I control the cost of AI insight generation over a large note base?▼

Cost is controlled by limiting the number of sampled pairs (default 20-50) and running generator and critic steps on cheaper models in parallel. Repeated sampled runs cover the rest of the base instead of one expensive full pass.

Why are most generated insights discarded by default?▼

Insights scoring below the 7.0 average threshold are discarded to enforce quality over quantity. Weak or obvious connections are only shown on explicit request, and then clearly labeled as low quality.

When should I not use a knowledge synthesis pipeline?▼

Do not use it for finding a single fact, summarizing one document, validating artifacts, or managing sources inside Google NotebookLM. It is designed only for synthesizing non-obvious connections across existing notes.
