## What it does

The skill exposes an AST repository map through the `~/.deeplake/memory/graph/` mount. It captures functions, classes, modules, and edge relations like `calls`, `imports`, and `implements`. The index refreshes automatically on session stops based on rate limits and `git diff`. Reading it requires no compilation commands and triggers no network calls.

Agents inspect relations via shell reads. Querying `query/<pattern>` displays matches alongside their immediate neighbors, `impact/<pattern>` maps transitive blast radius, and `path/<from>/<to>` uncovers dependency paths between symbols. Subsystems can be surveyed through `layers` and `tour`.

Analysis is limited to TypeScript, JavaScript, and Python: files in Go or Rust require manual grepping. Method dispatches like `obj.method()` and dynamic calls are excluded, meaning an `Incoming (0)` counter does not confirm dead code.

## 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/claude-code/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/claude-code/skills/hivemind-graph/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- Find all callers of a target function or class
- Calculate the blast radius before altering a symbol
- Trace shortest dependency paths between two symbols
- Map architectural layers and project subsystems
- List all imports and dependents for a specific file

## Example prompts
- Check hivemind-graph to see what calls pushSnapshot
- Run an impact query to see what breaks if I change GraphSnapshot
- Trace the dependency path between deeplake-pull.ts and the exporter

name: hivemind-graph
description: Query the local code graph (functions, classes, calls, imports) through the Deeplake mount at memory/graph/. Use when the user asks structural questions about the codebase — "what calls X?", "what does Y import?", "where is Z defined?", "what's the architecture / which subsystems exist?", "what's the impact of changing this?". The graph is an AST-derived map of the repo, queried as files (no build needed — it rebuilds automatically).

# Hivemind Code Graph

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`). It is queried as
synthesized files under the Deeplake mount; there are no real files on disk and
no network call in the read path.

The graph **builds and refreshes automatically** (on Stop / SessionEnd, gated by
a rate limit + git diff). You never run a build command — just read it.

Use it as a fast **INDEX** to locate the few files/symbols that matter, then open
them with `Read` to answer. It is not a substitute for the source.

## 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?" → use `impact/<symbol>` (transitive blast radius)

## When NOT to use this skill

- Reading the **body** of a symbol you already located → use `Read` on the real
  source file. The graph gives location + relationships, not full source.
- Code that isn't **committed/built** yet — the graph can lag uncommitted edits.
  If a file's mtime is newer than the build timestamp, read the live source.
- Languages outside **TypeScript, JavaScript, and Python** (Go, Rust, …) — the
  extractor covers those three, with cross-file `calls`/`imports` resolved for
  named imports. For anything else, fall back to grep/read.

## Path cheat sheet

```bash
cat ~/.deeplake/memory/graph/index.md
#   Overview: node/edge counts, kind breakdown, top files by node count.

cat ~/.deeplake/memory/graph/query/<pattern>   # START HERE (the 2-in-1)
#   Search + expand the top matches with their 1-hop neighbors (callers,
#   callees, imports, heritage). Multi-token AND: query/<a>+<b>.

cat ~/.deeplake/memory/graph/find/<pattern>
#   Case-insensitive substring search on node id + label (max 50 hits).
#   Prints numbered handles [1] [2] ... saved for this worktree.
