Common Neighbors Finder

Find notes that two specified notes both reference (shared context).

When to Use

Invoke when you want to:

• Discover shared context between two notes
• Find overlapping references
• Identify common themes or topics
• Understand relationship through shared links

Arguments

Process

1. Parse User Input

Identify the two notes:

• "common references between [[Project A]] and [[Project B]]"
• "what do [[React]] and [[Vue]] both link to"
• "shared links between daily note and weekly note"

2. Call MCP Tool

mcp__flywheel__get_common_neighbors(
  note_a: "path/to/first/note.md",
  note_b: "path/to/second/note.md"
)

3. Format Results

Common Neighbors Found:

Common Neighbors
=================================================

[[Project A]] and [[Project B]] share 8 references:

Technologies (3):
  - [[React]] - both use this framework
  - [[TypeScript]] - shared language
  - [[Docker]] - shared deployment

People (2):
  - [[Alice]] - contributes to both
  - [[Bob]] - reviews both

Concepts (3):
  - [[Authentication]] - both implement
  - [[REST API]] - shared pattern
  - [[Testing]] - both have test coverage

-------------------------------------------------

Insights:
  - High overlap (8 shared) suggests related projects
  - Both in the same technology stack
  - Consider linking them directly if not already

=================================================

No Common Neighbors:

Common Neighbors
=================================================

[[Note A]] and [[Note B]] share 0 references.

These notes link to completely different sets of notes.

Suggestions:
  - They may be in different knowledge domains
  - Check if they should share common references
  - Consider if intermediate connecting notes exist

=================================================

Interpretation

Use Cases

• Project comparison: "What technologies do these projects share?"
• Topic overlap: "What concepts link these two areas together?"
• Collaboration: "What resources do these people both reference?"
• Integration points: "Where do these systems overlap?"

Integration

Works well with other skills:

• path: Find how the two notes connect directly
• strength: Get quantitative relationship score
• related: Find other notes similar to either one
• bidirectional: Check if they link to each other
