At a glance

Map source-code architecture with graph algorithms — PageRank centrality, bridge symbols, Louvain communities, dependency paths, and execution flows over the AST graph.

  • Works in 5 steps: Understand the architecture → Find critical infrastructure → Find chokepoints → …
  • The user asks about source-code architecture
  • SKILL.md covers Overview, Quick Reference, Steps and Output, plus 1 more section
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Memtrace Graph is an agent skill from syncable-dev/memtrace-public. Map source-code architecture with graph algorithms — PageRank centrality, bridge symbols, Louvain communities, dependency paths, and execution flows over the AST graph. Use when the user asks about source-code architecture, important symbols, centrality, PageRank, bridge functions, communities, logical modules, chokepoints, service boundaries, or dependency path questions. Do not use Glob, find, tree, or directory browsing to infer architecture; Memtrace runs graph algorithms over the AST graph.

Its SKILL.md is about 680 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 Backend & APIs, covering Microservices. The repository describes itself as: Structural memory for AI coding agents. Bi-temporal graph, MCP-native, zero LLM calls. Cursor · Claude Code · Codex · DeepSeek Harness · Hermes · VS Code · Windsurf.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks about source-code architecture
  • Important symbols
  • Bridge functions
  • Logical modules

Example prompts

  • “/memtrace-graph”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Understand the architecture
  2. Find critical infrastructure
  3. Find chokepoints
  4. Path between two symbols
  5. Execution flows

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3a3084d. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are json).

    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

Memtrace Graph loads about 684 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 129 tokens; SKILL.md has 160 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~129
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~684

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 160 words (~684 tokens).

“Graph algorithms over the knowledge graph — communities (Louvain), PageRank centrality, bridge symbols (articulation points), shortest paths, and execution flows.”

How do I install Memtrace Graph in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add syncable-dev/memtrace-public --skill memtrace-graph -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (plugins/memtrace-skills/skills/memtrace-graph in syncable-dev/memtrace-public) into .claude/skills/memtrace-graph in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Memtrace Graph in Codex?

Can I use Memtrace Graph in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add syncable-dev/memtrace-public --skill memtrace-graph -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/memtrace-graph, .gemini/skills/memtrace-graph, .github/skills/memtrace-graph and .opencode/skills/memtrace-graph in your project.

What does Memtrace Graph need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Memtrace Graph is instructions for the agent only.

Does Memtrace Graph access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Memtrace Graph safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Memtrace Graph use?

Memtrace Graph has a licence file (the repository's licence) that doesn't match a standard licence. Read it on GitHub before reusing the skill.

How many tokens does Memtrace Graph use?

About 684 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 2.7k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
