## What it does

The skill builds an AST-based graph of your repository to track classes, functions, interfaces, types, and modules. It maps edges such as `calls`, `imports`, `extends`, and `implements`. Reindexing happens in the background after each agent turn via git diff, so there is no manual compile command.

Agents access the index through two built-in tools. `hivemind_graph_search` matches lexical tokens or multi-token expressions joined by `+`, returning hits with immediate neighbors. For targeted queries on a known path, `hivemind_graph_neighborhood` lists all symbols in a file alongside cross-file relationships. Results point to `source_file:line` targets for standard file inspection.

Outside TypeScript, JavaScript, and Python, this skill does not parse code — agents must fall back to grep. The graph can also lag behind edits made in the current turn. Zero incoming calls does not confirm dead code because dynamic execution and method dispatch stay unresolved.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add activeloopai/hivemind --skill hivemind-graph -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/hivemind-graph/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/hivemind-graph/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add activeloopai/hivemind --skill hivemind-graph -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/hivemind-graph/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add activeloopai/hivemind --skill hivemind-graph -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/hivemind-graph/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install activeloopai/hivemind hivemind-graph
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/hivemind-graph/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add activeloopai/hivemind --skill hivemind-graph -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/activeloopai/hivemind --path harnesses/openclaw/skills/hivemind-graph
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/hivemind-graph/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add activeloopai/hivemind --skill hivemind-graph -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/activeloopai/hivemind/tree/HEAD/harnesses/openclaw/skills/hivemind-graph/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- trace all callers of a target function across modules
- map blast radius before modifying a function signature
- inspect file imports and external symbol dependencies
- navigate architectural relationships between repository subsystems

## Example prompts
- What calls `pushSnapshot` across the codebase?
- What does `deeplake-pull.ts` import and depend on?
- Map all symbols and cross-file connections for `src/hooks/capture.ts`

description: Query the local AST-derived code graph (functions, classes, calls, imports) for structural codebase questions — what calls X, what does Y import, where is Z defined, blast radius of a change. The graph rebuilds automatically after each agent turn; use hivemind_graph_search and hivemind_graph_neighborhood tools (no manual build step).

# Hivemind Code Graph (OpenClaw)

A deterministic, AST-derived map of the current repository — every function,
class, method, interface, type, enum, const, and module, plus the edges between
them (`calls`, `imports`, `extends`, `implements`, `method_of`).

The graph **builds and refreshes automatically** after each turn (gated by rate
limit + git diff). You never run a build command — just call the graph tools.

Set `plugins.entries.hivemind.config.tuning.HIVEMIND_GRAPH_CWD` in
`~/.openclaw/openclaw.json` to the git root of the project you want indexed
when the gateway's working directory is not the repo (then restart the gateway).

Use the graph as a fast **INDEX** to locate the few files/symbols that matter,
then use the host's read/exec tools on the real source. It is not a substitute
for reading source files.

## When to use this skill

Activate when the user asks a *structural / relational* question about the code:

- "What calls `pushSnapshot`?" / "Who uses this function?"
- "What does `deeplake-pull.ts` import?" / "What depends on X?"
- "Where is `GraphSnapshot` defined?" / "Find the function that handles Y."
- "What are the main subsystems / the architecture here?"
- "If I change this signature, what's affected?"

## Tools

- `hivemind_graph_search({ pattern })` — search symbols by substring (or
  multi-token AND with `+`, e.g. `auth+handler`). Returns matches with 1-hop
  neighbors (callers, callees, imports). **Start here.**
- `hivemind_graph_neighborhood({ file })` — every symbol in a repo-relative
  file path plus its cross-file neighbors.

## Workflow

1. Broad structural question? `hivemind_graph_search({ pattern: "<symbol>" })`.
2. Know the file? `hivemind_graph_neighborhood({ file: "src/hooks/capture.ts" })`.
3. Need the actual code? Open the `source_file:line` from the tool output with
   the host read tool — don't answer from the graph alone.

## When NOT to use this skill

- Reading the **body** of a symbol you already located → use the host read tool.
- Code that isn't **committed/built** yet — the graph can lag uncommitted edits.
- Languages outside **TypeScript, JavaScript, and Python** — fall back to grep.

## Anti-patterns

- **Zero incoming callers does NOT mean dead code.** Instance-method dispatch and
  dynamic calls are not fully resolved.
