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
| Argument | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
note_a |
Yes | First note (title or path) |
note_b |
Yes | Second note (title or path) |
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
| Shared Count | Interpretation |
|---|---|
| 10+ | Highly related (same domain/topic) |
| 5-9 | Moderately related |
| 2-4 | Some overlap |
| 1 | Minimal connection |
| 0 | Likely unrelated or different domains |
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
