What it does
Kg Traverse is an agent skill from ruvnet/ruflo. Pathfinder traversal of the knowledge graph starting from a seed entity
Its SKILL.md is about 570 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 Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: 🌊 The original agent harness. Deploy intelligent multi-player swarms, coordinate autonomous workflows, and build conversational AI systems. Features adaptive memory…. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Knowledge graphs
Example prompts
- “/kg-traverse”
Requirements
- Node.js
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__agentdb_hierarchical-recall, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__agentdb_causal-edge, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__agentdb_pattern-search, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__agentdb_context-synthesize, Bash
Workflow steps
7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Seed -- call mcpplugin_ruflo-core_rufloagentdb_hierarchical-recall to look up the target entity by name
- Expand -- call mcpplugin_ruflo-core_rufloagentdb_causal-edge to find all edges connected to the seed entity, then recursively expand…
- Score -- for each path, compute relevance: cumulative_score = product(edge_weight * keyword_similarity(query, node)) using…
- Prune -- remove paths with cumulative score below 0.3
- Rank -- sort remaining paths by cumulative score descending
- Synthesize -- call mcpplugin_ruflo-core_rufloagentdb_context-synthesize to combine the top paths into a coherent summary
- Report -- display the top 10 paths with: path (entity chain), relation types, cumulative score, and synthesized context
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 58e0ae7. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__agentdb_hierarchical-recallmcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__agentdb_causal-edgemcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__agentdb_pattern-searchmcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__agentdb_context-synthesizeBash
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
npx
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npx, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
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
Kg Traverse loads about 566 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 21 tokens; SKILL.md has 209 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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: notes
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

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.

KG Traverse
Perform pathfinder graph traversal starting from a seed entity. Expands outward through causal edges, scores paths by relevance, and prunes low-similarity branches.
When to use
When you need to explore the knowledge graph starting from a specific entity -- finding what depends on it, what it depends on, or discovering indirect relationships. Useful for impact analysis, dependency chains, and understanding code structure.
Steps
- Seed -- call
mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__agentdb_hierarchical-recallto look up the target entity by name - Expand -- call
mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__agentdb_causal-edgeto find all edges connected to the seed entity, then recursively expand outward to the specified depth (default: 3) - Score -- for each path, compute relevance:
cumulative_score = product(edge_weight * keyword_similarity(query, node))usingmcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__agentdb_pattern-search(thesemanticRoutercontroller isenabled: falsein current AgentDB builds; pattern-search is the available substitute and works fine for entity-name + relation-type keyword matches — see ruvnet/ruflo#2049). For higher-fidelity semantic similarity, callers can fall back tomcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__embeddings_generate+ manual cosine, but that's not required for step 3 to function. - Prune -- remove paths with cumulative score below 0.3
- Rank -- sort remaining paths by cumulative score descending
- Synthesize -- call
mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__agentdb_context-synthesizeto combine the top paths into a coherent summary - Report -- display the top 10 paths with: path (entity chain), relation types, cumulative score, and synthesized context

With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add ruvnet/ruflo --skill kg-traverse -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/kg-traverse, .gemini/skills/kg-traverse, .github/skills/kg-traverse and .opencode/skills/kg-traverse in your project.
What does Kg Traverse need to run?
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Kg Traverse needs the command-line tools its instructions call (npx). Our summary lists: Node.js. Its frontmatter pre-approves these tools: mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__agentdb_hierarchical-recall, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__agentdb_causal-edge, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__agentdb_pattern-search, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__agentdb_context-synthesize, Bash.
Does Kg Traverse access the network?
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Its commands use npx, which can reach the network depending on how they are called. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is Kg Traverse safe to install?
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found notes only (pre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: bash)), nothing it rates as a warning. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
