Graph layer

The graph is an optional compiled index over the markdown wiki. It makes typed, provenance-backed relationships machine-queryable while keeping markdown canonical — and it can be rebuilt from the pages at any time.

INFO

The graph is opt-in. If wiki/graph/ontology.yaml is absent, the wiki is pre-graph: don't run extract / lint / query and don't fabricate ontology files. Seed the layer first (via /wiki:graph or /wiki:init) or proceed without it.

Markdown pages are canonical; every artifact below is generated and can be deleted and rebuilt at any time.

What the graph captures

Three classes of edge come out of an extract:

1. Typed semantic edges declared in a page's graph.relationships[] frontmatter (e.g. founded, proposed, depends_on). Each carries an explicit source (a source-page slug), an evidence quote, a confidence (high/medium/low), and a status (current/historical/proposed/disputed/superseded). The extractor never invents these.
2. mentions edges — one per body [[wikilink]], deduplicated per page, confidence low. They accelerate navigation but are not evidence of a typed relationship.
3. sourced_from and summarizes_raw edges — from a non-source page's sources: list to the source page, and from a source page's raw: field to the raw file.

Frontmatter schema

Typed relationships live in a page's frontmatter:

graph:
  node_id: person:praney-behl       # optional; default <node_type>:<slug>
  node_type: person                 # optional; default mapped via ontology
  canonical: true                   # when multiple slugs alias one entity
  aliases: [Praney, praney@example.com]
  relationships:
    - predicate: founded
      object: company:seedblocks
      source: praney-founder-context-dump
      evidence: "Solo technical founder and sole director..."
      confidence: high
      status: current

Required relationship fields: predicate, object, source, evidence, confidence, status. A node_id is <node_type>:<slug>.

The ontology

wiki/graph/ontology.yaml is the contract. It declares node_types[*].maps_from (how a page's type/kind projects onto a node type) and predicates[*] (allowed predicates with their subject_types, object_types, and requires_evidence; "*" is a wildcard). Edit the ontology to add a domain predicate, then re-run lint to validate existing edges against it.

Typed edge vs plain wikilink

Add a typed edge when a specific source explicitly states the relationship, you can quote evidence, and the predicate is meaningful for downstream queries. Use a plain [[wikilink]] when the relationship is implicit, you can't pin it to a single quote, or it would just be a mentions edge. When in doubt, write the wikilink — lint surfaces missing evidence; it does not punish under-claiming.

Extract, lint, query

# Validate typed metadata first; lint never edits.
uv run --script skills/llm-wiki/scripts/wiki_graph_lint.py wiki/

# Compile to nodes.jsonl, edges.jsonl, graph.sqlite, graph.graphml.
uv run --script skills/llm-wiki/scripts/wiki_graph_extract.py wiki/

# Navigate.
python skills/llm-wiki/scripts/wiki_graph_query.py wiki/ neighbors --node product:konvy
python skills/llm-wiki/scripts/wiki_graph_query.py wiki/ edges    --subject person:stephanie-emmanouel
python skills/llm-wiki/scripts/wiki_graph_query.py wiki/ path     --from person:praney-behl --to product:konvy
python skills/llm-wiki/scripts/wiki_graph_query.py wiki/ facts    --about product:konvy

--json works on both lint and query commands. The same operations are available via the /wiki:graph slash command. Always cite the wiki page and its raw source in answers — the graph tells you which page to read; it is not itself the evidence.

Generated artifact policy

File	Canonical?	Default tracking
ontology.yaml	Yes — edit by hand	Tracked
nodes.jsonl	Generated	Optional — track for graph diffs in PRs
edges.jsonl	Generated	Optional — same as above
graph.sqlite	Generated	Gitignored by default (large, binary)
graph.graphml	Generated	Gitignored by default

INFO

Graph lint and extraction carry pinned PyYAML 6.0.3 metadata and run with uv run --script; no manual pip install is needed. Graph query uses only Python's standard library.
