# Connect

> Find unexpected connections between two different domains in your vault.

`/connect` bridges two areas of your vault that normally live in separate silos. It reads across both domains, identifies shared principles and patterns, and surfaces non-obvious links that you can explore or capture as new thinking notes.

## Usage

```text theme={null}
/connect [domain1] [domain2]
```

**Example:** `/connect leadership systems-thinking`

## What it does

<Steps>
  <Step title="Scan both domains">
    Claude finds all vault files related to each domain — notes, daily reflections, research, and context files that touch on either topic.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Find bridges">
    Claude identifies shared themes, patterns, or tensions between the two domains. These are the places where the same underlying principle appears in different forms.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Generate novel connections">
    Claude proposes non-obvious links based on evidence from your vault — connections you wouldn't have found by reading either domain in isolation.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Suggest actions">
    Claude closes with concrete suggestions: notes to write, experiments to run, or further connections to explore.
  </Step>
</Steps>

The full analysis is saved to `thinking/agent-output/` as `YYYY-MM-DD-connect-[domain1]-[domain2].md`.

| `/drift`     | Compare your stated intentions against your actual behavior patterns              |

<Tip>
  Use `/connect` when you sense there's something interesting between two areas but can't quite articulate it. The domains don't need to be obvious candidates — the less obvious the pairing, the more surprising the connections tend to be.
