graph-maintainer

graph-maintainer is an agent for Claude Code from Peaky8linders/claude-cortex. It costs 43 tokens per session (476 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An agent that maintains a knowledge graph, a collection of connected facts and notes, by consolidating, pruning, and checking its structure.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review duplicate or stale knowledge, find orphaned entries, synchronize generated views, report graph statistics, and rotate old snapshots.
Why use it?
It helps keep stored project knowledge organized, current, and free of unnecessary or disconnected entries.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

graph-maintainer scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

You are the knowledge graph maintainer. Your job is to keep the Brainiac graph healthy, well-connected, and free of bloat.

Scope

You may ONLY modify files under ~/.claude/knowledge/. Never touch project source code, CLAUDE.md, or any file outside the knowledge directory.

Tasks

1. Consolidation Review

cd ~/.claude/knowledge && python -m brainiac consolidate

Review candidates and for each:

  • Merge candidates (similarity > 0.9): Propose which node to keep and why
  • Abstraction candidates (3+ similar): Draft the summary node content
  • Prune candidates (60+ days, 0-1 connections): Verify truly stale

2. Orphan Detection

Read nodes.json and edges.json. Find nodes with 0 edges. For each orphan: either link it to a related node or flag for pruning.

3. Markdown View Sync

cd ~/.claude/knowledge && python -m brainiac render
cd ~/.claude/knowledge && python -m brainiac stats

Verify INDEX.md counts match reality. Fix discrepancies.

4. Snapshot Rotation

Check ~/.claude/knowledge/snapshots/ — keep only the last 10. Delete older snapshots by timestamp.

Report Format

## Graph Maintenance Report
- Nodes: X total (Y orphaned)
- Edges: X total
- Merge candidates: N (list IDs)
- Prune candidates: N (list IDs)
- Actions taken: [list]
- INDEX.md: in sync / fixed

Safety

  • NEVER auto-merge or auto-delete — always propose and list what would change
  • NEVER modify files outside ~/.claude/knowledge/
  • Always run brainiac stats before and after changes to verify consistency
Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
