What it does

Graph Build is an agent skill from athola/claude-night-market. Builds or updates the code knowledge graph via tree-sitter AST and SQLite. Use when setting up the graph before search or blast-radius analysis.

Its SKILL.md is about 610 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Knowledge Management, covering Knowledge graphs. It works with SQLite. The repository describes itself as: 23 Claude Code plugins: TDD enforcement hooks, git/PR workflows, spec-driven development, code review, project lifecycle, fix-from-error, maintenance automation, context… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Setting up the graph before search
  • Blast-radius analysis

Example prompts

  • “Use the graph-build skill to build or updates the code knowledge graph via tree-sitter AST and SQLite”
  • “/graph-build”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Detect target: Use the current working directory
  2. Check for existing graph: If .gauntlet/graph.db
  3. Run the build script
  4. Report results: Show the JSON output including
  5. Suggest next steps: Recommend searching the graph

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9f3eb00. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Graph Build loads about 609 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 39 tokens; SKILL.md has 266 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~39
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~609

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Build Code Knowledge Graph

Build or update the .gauntlet/graph.db knowledge graph for the current codebase.

Steps

  1. Detect target: Use the current working directory or a user-specified path.

  2. Check for existing graph: If .gauntlet/graph.db exists, run an incremental update. Otherwise, run a full build.

  3. Run the build script:

    For full build:

    bash
    python3 ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/graph_build.py <dir>

    For incremental update:

    bash
    python3 ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/graph_build.py <dir> --incremental

  4. Report results: Show the JSON output including files parsed, nodes created, edges created, and duration.

  5. Suggest next steps: Recommend searching the graph or running blast radius analysis.

When To Use

  • At the start of a session to build structural awareness
  • After significant code changes to update the graph
  • Before running blast radius analysis or flow tracing
  • When the user asks about codebase structure

When NOT To Use

  • Querying a graph that already exists (use gauntlet:graph-search)
  • Building the challenge knowledge base (use gauntlet:extract)

What Gets Parsed

The graph extracts nodes (File, Class, Function, Type, Test) and edges (CALLS, IMPORTS_FROM, INHERITS, CONTAINS, IMPLEMENTS, TESTED_BY) from 20+ languages including Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Go, Rust, Java, C/C++, Ruby, and PHP.

Storage

  • Database: .gauntlet/graph.db (SQLite with WAL mode)
  • Auto-creates .gauntlet/.gitignore to prevent commits
  • Incremental updates use SHA-256 hashing to skip unchanged files

Exit Criteria

  • .gauntlet/graph.db exists and is a valid SQLite file after the skill completes; .gauntlet/.gitignore exists to prevent the database from being committed
  • Build report JSON includes all four keys: files_parsed, nodes_created, edges_created, duration; values are non-zero for non-empty codebases
  • Incremental update path used when .gauntlet/graph.db already exists (script invoked with --incremental); full build only on first run
  • Next-step suggestions presented to the user: search the graph or run blast-radius analysis
