# Emerge

> Surface ideas you've implied but never explicitly stated by scanning across your entire vault.

`/emerge` does a deep scan of your vault to find ideas you've been circling without ever naming. It looks for the conclusion hiding in your scattered premises, the pattern you keep writing about without formalizing, and the direction your actions are pointing without a conscious decision.

## Usage

Type `/emerge` in Claude Code to start a vault-wide emergence scan.

## What it looks for

`/emerge` works by reading across your vault and finding three types of implied thinking:

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Scattered premises">
    Ideas you've mentioned in different contexts — across daily notes, research, and reflections — that together form a larger conclusion you haven't yet written down explicitly.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Unnamed patterns">
    Recurring themes that appear across your writing but haven't been named, tagged, or formalized into a standalone note or framework.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Unarticulated directions">
    Where your actual behavior, interests, and decisions are pointing — even if you haven't consciously chosen that direction yet.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Where it reads

`/emerge` scans the following vault zones:

| Zone                 | What it's looking for                               |
| -------------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
| `thinking/`          | Developed ideas and patterns                        |
| `daily/`             | What you've actually been thinking about day to day |
| `personal/research/` | Topics you've been investigating                    |
| `context/`           | Your stated values, goals, and self-understanding   |

## How an emergence session works

<Steps>
  <Step title="Run the scan">
    Type `/emerge`. Claude reads across all four vault zones looking for implied conclusions, unnamed patterns, and unarticulated directions.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review the findings">
    Claude presents its findings as emergent insights — ideas that your vault implies but you haven't explicitly stated.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Act on what resonates">
    For each insight, decide whether to capture it as a new thinking note, dismiss it, or explore it further with `/think`.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  Run `/emerge` after a period of heavy note-taking — after a trip, an intensive project, or a few weeks of daily journaling. The more raw material your vault contains, the more it has to synthesize.
