 "title": "Trace who connects to a node and how far out it reaches",
 "page_title": "How to trace who connects to a node and how far out it reaches with Md2 HD",
 "summary": "Focus a single node and use the degree dial to walk its links in each direction.",
 "who": "An analyst or project lead who needs to know which people or organisations sit around one key contact.",
 "problem": "A flat list of notes hides how one entity links to others two or three steps away.",
 "outcome": "A focused view where inbound links appear on the left, outbound links on the right, and the degree dial shows wider rings.",
 "steps": [
  "Run `npx md2hd map.md` on the file that holds your mapped notes.",
  "Click the node you care about so the map re-forms around it.",
  "Use the 1st / 2nd / 3rd / X degree dial on a connection column to walk further out.",
  "Hover a row in a type's list to light its card on the canvas."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "In the md2hd repo at evan-steinhilb/md2hd, open the map for <placeholder> and focus the node named <placeholder>. Report the nodes reachable at 2nd degree on the To side. Verify the degree dial changes the rings before you answer.",
 "agents": [
  "any"
 ],
 "difficulty": "Intermediate",
 "time": "15 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "The focus and degree views depend on the edges in your markdown, so any missing rel: entry or wikilink will be missing from the traced path.",

 "tags": [

 "lang": "javascript",
 "requirements": [
  "Node.js and npm installed, so that npx works",
