The /graduate Command (Daily Note Idea Extractor)

An agentic command or plugin for Obsidian that scans recent daily notes to identify latent ideas and insights. It then prompts the user to 'graduate' these thoughts into standalone, structured notes with proper backlinks, preventing idea decay.

Why now
