At a glance

Generate and open an interactive visualization of Buddy guard-mode reasoning data using Buddy's local CLI command.

  • The user wants to inspect claims
  • SKILL.md covers Quick Start, Expected Output and Notes
  • Runs Shell scripts from its folder; calls node
  • Reasoning structure as a graph

What it does

Buddy Graph is an agent skill from fiorastudio/buddy. Generate and open an interactive visualization of Buddy guard-mode reasoning data using Buddy's local CLI command. Use when the user wants to inspect claims, edges, findings, sessions, or reasoning structure as a graph, including session-specific graph views for debugging or analysis. This skill should invoke the Buddy CLI rather than any MCP tool.

Its SKILL.md is about 290 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/run-buddy-graph.sh`).

It sits in Development, covering MCP servers. It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: A virtual pet companion for your AI — Designed to provide in-context code review feedback with personality. Grow with your buddy and level up together. Works with Claude Code…. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user wants to inspect claims
  • Reasoning structure as a graph
  • Including session-specific graph views for debugging

Example prompts

  • “/buddy-graph”

Requirements

  • A Bash shell

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 45fc1a5. 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

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • node

    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

Buddy Graph loads about 290 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 91 tokens; SKILL.md has 85 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~91
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~290

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

description
Generate and open an interactive visualization of Buddy guard-mode reasoning data using Buddy's local CLI command. Use when the user wants to inspect claims, edges, findings, sessions, or reasoning structure as a graph, including session-specific graph views for debugging or analysis. This skill should invoke the Buddy CLI rather than any MCP tool.

Buddy Graph

Use Buddy's CLI graph command to generate a local HTML visualization of the reasoning graph.

Quick Start

Run one of these commands from the Buddy repo:

bash
buddy graph
buddy graph <session_id>
buddy graph --open
buddy graph <session_id> --out ./my-graph.html

If the packaged buddy binary is not available yet, run the built CLI directly:

bash
node dist/cli/buddy.js graph
node dist/cli/buddy.js graph <session_id>

Expected Output

The command writes an HTML file and prints the saved path plus graph counts.

Notes

  • This skill is intentionally CLI-backed, not MCP-backed.
  • It reads Buddy reasoning data from ~/.buddy/buddy.db unless BUDDY_DB_PATH is set.
  • Use a session_id to isolate one workspace/day graph.
