I pointed Claude at 7,000 notes I had written over years.

I don't use it to write, instead, it helps me connect different ideas.

Claude did a few things for me.

↳ It found a rule I wrote about how many projects I should run at once, and showed me I had drifted from it.
↳ It found 222 notes tagged as in progress that I never closed out.
↳ It flagged one note whose title alone could have derailed the whole session.

None of that was insight I could not have reached myself. It was insight I had stopped bothering to look for.

The part I did not expect was the resurfacing. Old notes from years ago pulled back up next to work I am doing now. That is the entire point of keeping notes, and it is the part I never actually did.

What I will not use it for is writing. I tried. AI drafts of my own ideas read like someone doing an impression of me.

So the split is simple. It finds. I write.

I turned the prompt into a reusable skill so I can run it every week.
