Build or update the code review knowledge graph. Run this first to initialize, or let hooks keep it updated automatically.

AI-generated overview

Builds or incrementally updates a repository's code review knowledge graph via graph tools.

What it does: This skill instructs an agent to check graph statistics and then build or update the code review knowledge graph for a repository, either as a full rebuild or an incremental update. It reports the tool response status and summary, and notes that the graph database lives at .code-review-graph/graph.db in the repository root. It also documents that binary files, dependency and build directories, and .code-review-graphignore patterns are skipped.
When to use it: Use it for first-time setup of a repository, after a branch switch or large refactor, or when the graph appears stale. Manual runs are rarely needed because installed hooks update the graph after each edit and before each commit.
Requirements: Requires the graph tools (list_graph_stats_tool, build_or_update_graph_tool, and get_docs_section_tool for language documentation) and a repository with a .code-review-graph directory. Ships no scripts; instructions only.

Build or incrementally update the knowledge graph for this repository.

Call list_graph_stats_tool. If last_updated is null, the graph has never been built.
For a first build, or when the argument is full, call build_or_update_graph_tool(full_rebuild=True). Otherwise call build_or_update_graph_tool() for an incremental update.
Report the response: status (ok, partial or error) and summary.

First set-up of a repository, or after a branch switch or large refactor.
When the graph looks stale. Hooks installed by code-review-graph install run an update after each edit and before each commit, so manual builds are rarely needed.

The database is .code-review-graph/graph.db in the repository root.
Binary files, dependency and build directories, and patterns in .code-review-graphignore are skipped.
For the list of supported languages call get_docs_section_tool(section_name="languages").
