What Build Graph does

Build Graph initializes or incrementally updates a persistent code review knowledge graph for a repository via MCP tools. Use it for first-time setup, after major refactoring, or when the graph is stale; hooks normally keep it updated automatically.

Build Graph is cataloged under Quality on DirSkills. Build Graph comes from a repository tagged ai-coding, claude, claude-code, code-review and graphrag.

README

Excerpt

Build Graph

Build or incrementally update the persistent code knowledge graph for this repository.

Steps

Check graph status by calling the list_graph_stats_tool MCP tool.
- If the graph has never been built (last_updated is null), proceed with a full build.
- If the graph exists, proceed with an incremental update.
Build the graph by calling the build_or_update_graph_tool MCP tool:
- For first-time setup: build_or_update_graph_tool(full_rebuild=True)
- For updates: build_or_update_graph_tool() (incremental by default)
Verify by calling list_graph_stats_tool again and report the results:
- Number of files parsed
- Number of nodes and edges created
- Languages detected
- Any errors encountered
