 "title": "Map a folder of notes into a browsable graph",
 "page_title": "How to map a folder of notes into a browsable graph with Md2 HD",
 "summary": "Point Md2 HD at a notes folder and open the map in your browser within minutes.",
 "who": "A researcher or analyst with a folder of markdown notes on people, organisations, or threads who needs to see how they fit together.",
 "problem": "The notes hold the facts, but the connections between them only live in the author's head.",
 "outcome": "A local map in the browser where frontmatter entries appear as nodes and wikilinks appear as edges.",
 "steps": [
  "Install Node.js and open a terminal in the folder that holds your notes.",
  "Run `npx md2hd notes/` to map the whole folder, or `npx md2hd map.md` for a single file.",
  "Wait for the browser tab to open and look at the Overview surface at the foot of the canvas.",
  "Save a markdown file and refresh the tab to confirm the map re-reads from disk."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Use the md2hd repo at evan-steinhilb/md2hd. Run `npx md2hd <placeholder>` on the notes folder I name, then report the number of nodes you can see in the Overview. Verify the map opened in the browser on 127.0.0.1 before you report back.",
 "agents": [
  "any"
 ],
 "difficulty": "Intermediate",
 "time": "15 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "Md2 HD only draws nodes from frontmatter blocks and wikilinks, so notes without that structure will show as prose and not as a map.",
 "category": "Research",
 "tags": [
  "Research"
 ],
 "lang": "javascript",
 "requirements": [
  "Node.js and npm installed, so that npx works",
  "A markdown file or a folder of markdown notes",
  "A modern web browser"
