Obsidian Recurring Idea Discovery

Your vault keeps mentioning the same idea, but searching a keyword gives you fragments instead of a useful conclusion. This skill follows those fragments across linked notes, separates your own recurring interests from copied material, and identifies ideas that still deserve a decision.

What it does

• Groups different phrasings of the same underlying idea while keeping distinct intentions separate.
• Counts independent notes and dated occurrences, excluding template repetition and duplicated captures.
• Follows links between journals, meeting notes, research, and project pages to find connections a keyword search misses.
• Checks whether each candidate already became a project, was completed, or was deliberately rejected.
• Returns source-linked findings with uncertainty, counterevidence, and one small action per idea.
• Supports an optional daily plan using accessible calendar events, tasks, and recent notes, with missing sources clearly labeled.

What you get

A concise emergence report showing what you keep returning to, where the evidence lives, and what to do next. Each finding includes its recurrence pattern, existing project or decision status, and a suggested name you can accept or change.

Best for

Obsidian users with months of journals, research, meeting notes, or project fragments who want to recover persistent ideas without reorganizing their entire vault.
