execution-graph

execution-graph is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from AnthonyAlcaraz/agentic-graph-rag-skills. It costs 194 tokens per session (1,953 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A permanent record of every operation an agent performs for a request, including model calls, tool use, searches, decisions, inputs, outputs, timing, cost, and causal links.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect execution history, follow which operation triggered another, and analyze latency, token use, and cost.
Why use it?
It makes failed or slow agent runs traceable instead of leaving only a final answer with no explanation of how it was produced.

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

execution-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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (cli.py, lib.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Execution Graph

Overview

The execution graph is the dynamic counterpart to the static workflow graph (Ch5). The workflow graph is the blueprint; the execution graph is the autobiography. Each query produces one execution graph instance — immutable after completion, queryable, the substrate for cognitive autopsy.

Each node represents one atomic operation:

  • Node ID — unique per operation instance (span_id from OpenTelemetry in production)
  • Node typeLLM_Call, Tool_Invocation, Retrieval, Decision_Point
  • Timestamp — high-resolution for latency analysis
  • Input payload — exact data received
  • Output payload — exact data produced
  • Performance metrics — latency_ms, token_count, cost_usd
  • Parent-child edgesTRIGGERED relationships establishing causal lineage

Two-phase write is the central primitive (the chapter's execution-graph example):

  1. Phase 1 (on-start): create node + link to parent. If the operation fails or crashes, the graph still captures what was about to happen.
  2. Phase 2 (on-complete): fill in output + latency + cost.

A simple one-phase write loses the causal structure when nodes fail — exactly the cases that need diagnosis most.

When to Use

  • BEFORE building any Ch7 evaluation layer (0/1/2/3) — they all query the execution graph
  • Multi-step agent workflows where you need to attribute a failure to a specific node (the chapter quote: "the error isn't lost in a sea of model parameters")
  • Self-evolution loops — every evolution decision needs the execution graph as input
  • DevOps incident reconstruction — answer "which node failed and what preceded it"

Phrases: "execution graph", "trace the agent's run", "cognitive autopsy", "causal chain", "which node failed", "self-evolution foundation".

When NOT to Use

  • One-shot single-call agents — no graph to trace; just log the call
  • Production systems where you already pipe OpenTelemetry → Neo4j and have execution-graph reconstruction working
  • High-frequency request paths where the per-node Cypher write latency blocks the request — buffer to async writer or sample

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.

execution-graph is a skill published in the GitHub repository AnthonyAlcaraz/agentic-graph-rag-skills (8 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 194 tokens to every session and 1,953 once invoked, about $0.0010 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
