* enhance(#4836): prefer the graphify CLI for planner and researcher graph queries The planner gets one knowledge-graph query per phase and the researcher two or three, and that single shot decides which modules the plan treats as related — and therefore how tasks are ordered into waves. It was spent on the built-in reader, which seeds by case-insensitive substring match over a node's label and description and then expands a hardcoded two hops. The phase "User Authentication" seeds on `author`, `authoring` and `unauthorized` with the same weight as `authenticate`, and when the inflated payload exceeds `--budget` the trimmer drops edges by confidence tier — so the highest-confidence tier can be discarded to fit a payload that bad seeding inflated in the first place. The graphify CLI is already a hard dependency of /gsd-graphify build, and it ranks seeds (IDF weighting, trigram fuzzy matching) and applies context filters before traversal. Both prompts now prefer it and fall back to the built-in reader, branching on `command -v graphify` — the same degradation shape the repo already uses for Context7 to ctx7. Binary presence is a self-satisfying gate: a graph can only exist if the binary built it, so the fallback covers edge cases (a CI checkout with a committed graph, a binary since removed), not the common path. No new config key and no new tool grant — both agents already have Bash. The planner additionally runs `graphify affected`. The reference states its own goal as "which subsystems may be affected by changes in this phase", which is literally reverse traversal by relation; the built-in reader only approximates it with undirected two-hop expansion and has no equivalent verb, so `affected` is skipped on the fallback path. `graphify status` now reports `graph_path`, the resolved absolute graph location, on both the present and the missing branch. The CLI takes the graph location as `--graph`, and the prompts must not re-derive `.planning/graphs/graph.json` for it: that would point the CLI at a non-existent local mirror in exactly the umbrella multi-repo setup `graphify.graph_path` (#1825) exists to serve. For the same reason the presence gate in both prompts is now the `status` call itself rather than a bare `ls` of the default location, which was already blind to the override. Known limit, stated in both prompts rather than implied: the two paths return different shapes. `graphify query` emits prose and has no `--json` flag; the built-in emits JSON with per-edge confidence tiers and budget_met/budget_estimate. `--budget` also counts rendered output on one and estimated payload bytes on the other (#2738) — same flag name, different unit. Both are read by a model and nothing machine-parses the injected block. With graphify absent from PATH the injected context is byte-identical to before. Closes #4836 Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: gsd-phase-researcher.md — the CLI-first branch, the reason it is preferred, and the output-shape warning are the deliverable; a pointer to a part would not be read at the decision point. Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: gsd-planner.md — one sentence in the load_graph_context step pointer, so it stops naming the default graph path the reference no longer assumes. * docs(#4836): record the CLI-first graph query in the planner and researcher entries * chore(#4836): add changeset fragment * enhance(#4836): name the full domain word in the planner's query-term examples The reference's own example — phase "User Authentication" → term "auth" — is the exact collision the CLI-first path exists to avoid, and it stays a collision whenever the fallback path runs, since that path matches the term as a substring of label and description. * fix(#4836): surface graph_path on the unparseable-graph status branch graphifyStatus() returned graph_path on the exists:true and exists:false outcomes but not on the third, error, outcome (graph.json present but unparseable). The planner/researcher prompts gate CLI-first dispatch on exists, not on this outcome, so a corrupt graph file made them fall through to the CLI-first branch with the literal <graph> placeholder and no real path to substitute. * docs(#4836): note graph_path's trust boundary at the --graph interpolation graph_path is reflected verbatim into a double-quoted --graph argument the agent executes via Bash. It comes from graphify.graph_path, a config surface already trusted elsewhere, so this isn't a new trust boundary -- but it is a new injection site (no --graph flag existed on this call before). One-line caution for anyone hardening this later. --------- Co-authored-by: Tom Boucher <trekkie@nomorestars.com>

title: Knowledge Graph Integration
|
|
group: v1.37.0 Features
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
**Purpose:** Build, query, and inspect a lightweight knowledge graph of the project in `.planning/graphs/`. Opt-in per project. Exposed as the `/gsd-graphify` user-facing command and the `gsd-tools.cjs graphify …` programmatic verb family. Complements `/gsd-map-codebase --query` (snapshot-oriented) with a graph-oriented view of nodes and edges across commands, agents, workflows, and phases.
|
|
|
|
**Requirements:**
|
|
- REQ-GRAPH-01: Opt-in via `graphify.enabled: true` in `.planning/config.json`. When disabled, `/gsd-graphify` prints an activation hint and stops without writing.
|
|
- REQ-GRAPH-02: Slash-command `/gsd-graphify` exposes subcommands `build`, `query <term>`, `status`, `diff`. The programmatic CLI `node gsd-tools.cjs graphify …` additionally exposes `snapshot`, which is also invoked automatically as the final step of `graphify build`.
|
|
- REQ-GRAPH-03: Build runs within the configurable `graphify.build_timeout` (seconds); exceeding the timeout aborts cleanly without leaving a partial graph.
|
|
- REQ-GRAPH-04: `graphify.cjs` falls back to `graph.links` when `graph.edges` is absent so older graph artifacts keep rendering.
|
|
- REQ-GRAPH-05: Graphify is invoked through `gsd-tools.cjs graphify ...` command handlers.
|
|
- REQ-GRAPH-06: The knowledge-graph location is configurable via `graphify.graph_path` (issue #1825) so one umbrella-level cross-repo graph can serve multiple sibling projects; `query`/`status`/`diff` read the configured graph (relative to project root), with a byte-identical `.planning/graphs/` default when unset.
|
|
- REQ-GRAPH-07: `status` reports the resolved graph location as `graph_path` — the same absolute path `query`/`diff` read, after the `graphify.graph_path` override is applied — so a caller shelling out to the `graphify` CLI passes it as `--graph` instead of re-deriving the default location (issue #4836).

|
**Configuration:** `graphify.enabled`, `graphify.build_timeout`, `graphify.graph_path`
|
|
**Reference files:** `commands/gsd/graphify.md`, `bin/lib/graphify.cjs`
