Curiosity Engine tools (5)
write = sends, deletes, buys or postsRead from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.
find_cross_domain_bridges[Pro] Surface pairs of notes from DIFFERENT top-level directories that share a concept. These are the surprise connections — ideas that span your vault's silos.
find_dormant_notesList notes that are structurally dormant — low incoming wikilink count AND old mtime. These are the notes most at risk of being forgotten.
find_orphan_notesList notes with zero incoming wikilinks — structurally isolated.
random_deep_cut[Pro] Pull a single random dormant note for serendipitous rediscovery. Your vault's shuffle-play button.
suggest_replay_cycle[Pro] Run the full DMN-inspired replay cycle: sample dormant notes with bias, extract their concepts, generate cross-domain bridge queries, return notes to revisit.

Surface the notes you forgot you wrote — DMN replay for markdown vaults.
Surface the notes you've forgotten you wrote. Uses wikilink graph structure + file mtime to identify dormant notes (low link-in count, old, isolated) and the DMN-inspired replay cycle pattern from cognitive neuroscience: sample dormant notes with bias (40% random / 30% least-linked / 30% orphaned), generate cross-domain bridge queries between them, and surface the unexpected connections. Breaks the confirmation-bias loop where you only revisit the notes you already remember.
