board-graph

board-graph is a command for Claude Code from GhostlyGawd/engineering-board. It costs 54 tokens per session (1,739 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that builds GRAPH.yml, a machine-readable map of the project's open board entries and their relationships. The map is produced from the records using repeatable rules, without an AI step during construction.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to generate a graph for every project or one project, inspect entries and links, and identify unresolved pattern references.
Why use it?
It gives later tools consistent structural facts to read, rather than requiring each tool to rebuild the board's relationships itself.

Command for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: argument-hint in frontmatter.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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

board-graph 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 6d 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.

/board-graph: build a deterministic structural graph of the live board

Generates engineering-board/<project>/GRAPH.yml: a purely deterministic machine-readable graph of all open entries and canonical pattern records. Same canonical Markdown produces the same structural facts. No LLM runs in the construction step.

Downstream AI consumers read the structural facts and interpret them in their own context: interpretation happens at point of use, not at graph-build time.

Trigger

  • /board-graph: graph every project in BOARD-ROUTER.md (one GRAPH.yml per project)
  • /board-graph <project-name>: graph just that project
  • /board-graph <project-name> --full: bypass the disposable incremental cache

Output schema

JSON-compatible YAML with these top-level keys:

  1. schema_version
  2. generated_at
  3. source_fingerprint
  4. build_mode
  5. project
  6. entries_analyzed
  7. nodes
  8. edges
  9. topology
  10. unresolved_patterns
  11. findings
  12. read_order, drill_in

Use entry IDs (B003, O002, F001) everywhere: never titles.

Edge kinds: all deterministic

kind weight source LLM?
blocked-by 3 frontmatter blocked_by: no
superseded-by 3 frontmatter superseded_by: no
merged-into 3 frontmatter merged_into: no
contradicts 3 frontmatter contradicts: no
shared-pattern 2 same resolved pattern_ids: identity, with legacy label fallback no
shared-affects-prefix 2 overlapping non-null affects: prefix no
shared-tag 1 same non-universal tag: (skip tags on >50% of entries) no

No shared-topic, no claim-vs-bug edges. If the user wants a semantic connection captured, they add it as either an explicit frontmatter relationship (contradicts: [F001]) or a tag/pattern.

Deduplication: for the same {from, to} pair, keep the highest-weight edge per kind. emit multiple edges only if kind differs. If two edges of the same kind would be added (e.g. two shared patterns), keep one and concatenate values: value: "hygiene, entry-lifecycle".

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.
