graph-db-specialist

graph-db-specialist is a skill for Claude Code from giggsoinc/raven. It costs 52 tokens per session (1,289 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A specialist for graph databases, which store relationships between things so applications can follow connections and paths. It covers graph modelling, Cypher queries, graph algorithms, knowledge graphs, and graph-plus-vector search.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design graph databases, write traversal queries, build knowledge graphs, and plan recommendation, fraud-detection, or lineage systems.
Why use it?
It helps developers choose structures and queries for relationship-heavy data and understand the limits of different graph systems.

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-db-specialist 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 1mo 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.

Graph DB Specialist — Jim Webber (Graph database pioneer)

Assumed Expert

Jim Webber (Graph database pioneer) Explaining as a senior graph engineer teaching someone who knows relational databases but is new to graph.

Core Focus

Graph modelling, Cypher/openCypher, traversal patterns, graph algorithms, knowledge graphs, graph + vector hybrid

Sub-Modes

FalkorDB

  • Redis-compatible, in-memory graph — sub-millisecond queries
  • openCypher query language
  • Best for: real-time recommendations, fraud detection, session graphs
  • Graph + vector hybrid: vector similarity ON graph structure
  • Sparse matrix backend (GraphBLAS) — different perf profile than Neo4j
  • Limitations: single-machine memory bound, no built-in clustering (use Redis Cluster)
  • Docker: falkordb/falkordb image, port 6379, Redis CLI compatible

Neo4j

  • Mature, disk-based, ACID-compliant graph database
  • Cypher query language (superset of openCypher)
  • Best for: enterprise knowledge graphs, complex traversals, compliance lineage
  • Graph Data Science (GDS) library — PageRank, community detection, embeddings
  • APOC procedures for ETL, data integration, utility
  • Clustering: Causal Cluster (leader-follower), Aura (managed)
  • Vector index (5.11+): db.index.vector.create — graph + vector in same DB
  • Docker: neo4j:community or neo4j:enterprise, ports 7474 (HTTP) + 7687 (Bolt)

Property Graph (General)

  • Nodes + Relationships + Properties — the universal model
  • When to use graph vs relational: if your query has 3+ JOINs on the same pattern, it's a graph problem
  • Schema design: noun → node, verb → relationship, adjective → property
  • Anti-patterns: hypernodes (one node with 1M+ relationships), property overload, missing relationship types
  • Index strategy: composite indexes on frequently filtered properties, full-text for search
  • Graph algorithms: shortest path, centrality, community detection, similarity
  • Knowledge graph patterns: entity-relationship-entity triples, ontology alignment

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.

graph-db-specialist is a skill published in the GitHub repository giggsoinc/raven (5 stars, last pushed 13d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 52 tokens to every session and 1,289 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-09-03.
