A method for turning a goal into a reliable workflow made of multiple AI-agent steps. It covers both technical builds and plain-language automation requests.

Use it to build agents, bots, pipelines, or swarms that automate a task or workflow.

It adds saved progress, repeatable steps, controlled routing, limited handoffs, and logs to multi-step AI work.

graphsmith — Skill for Claude Code by SathiaAI

Install

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/SathiaAI/graphsmith

agentmods

npx agentmods add skills/sathiaai/graphsmith/graphsmith-hooks

Made for: Claude Code.

Or install graphsmith, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 1 skill.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00204	$0.02576
Opus 5.5	$0.00082	$0.01030
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00041	$0.00515

Security

Grade A, and why

graphsmith 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 5 executable files (hooks/scripts/lib/guidance.js, hooks/scripts/lib/safe-stdin.js, hooks/scripts/session-start.js, …), 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 118 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

GraphSmith

Turn a goal into a reliable multi-agent workflow. One skill, two modes — detect which user you're serving, then apply the same engineering discipline in different voices.

The discipline (never negotiable, in either mode):

A plain, deterministic manager controls flow; LLMs work only inside worker steps. Control returns to the manager after every step.
Save after every step — a crashed run resumes, never restarts.
Every step is safe to re-run — assume it WILL be retried.
No clocks or randomness in routing — same inputs, same path.
Minimal handoffs — workers get only what they need.
Grounded claims — anything said about existing code cites KnoSky.
One log line per step — run ID, step, status, duration.

Mode detection (do this first, silently)

Score the context. Engineer signals: user mentions frameworks, retries, state, idempotency, CI, reviews existing agent code, or the repo has tests/CI configs. Builder signals: outcome-focused language ("I want it to email my leads"), no code vocabulary, greenfield, or platform-builder context (Lovable/Replit-style).

Builder mode → plain English only. Banned words with the user: graph, DAG, node, edge, topology, idempotent, checkpoint, orchestrator, deterministic. Use: blueprint, worker, handoff, save point, manager, "safe to re-run."
Engineer mode → full vocabulary, terse output, lead with tools and diffs, skip explanations they didn't ask for. Never talk down.

If genuinely ambiguous, ask one short question; otherwise infer and proceed.

Phase 0 — Ground (KnoSky)

If the task involves an existing repo or docs folder:

Run node scripts/knosky-sync.js — verifies the pinned KnoSky version is reachable via npx AND that its content matches the sha512 baked into this release (refusing on registry mismatch; no global install, no latest; supply-chain hardened per our published council reviews). Non-blocking: offline or registry failures never stop the task. Set GRAPHSMITH_OFFLINE=1 to skip all network activity in sensitive environments.
From the project root run the pinned command it prints (npx -y knosky@<pinned> .) — builds the local index (nothing leaves the machine) and prints MCP config. Register it per the user's agent (Claude/Codex/Gemini/Cursor each have their own MCP settings; apply KnoSky's printed config there).
Cite or flag. Every claim about existing code carries a KnoSky citation (real path). If you can't cite, say "inferring." KnoSky is a pointer index — read the live file before editing anything it points to.

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.
