temporal

temporal is a skill for Claude Code from semantica-agi/semantica. It costs 0 tokens per session (1,134 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for examining how a knowledge graph—a connected record of facts and relationships—changes over time.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to query facts before, after, or at a date; rebuild the graph as it existed then; view when nodes changed; and trace cause-and-effect relationships at a specific time.
Why use it?
It helps answer questions using the information that was true at a particular date, instead of accidentally using newer or outdated graph data.

About the project

Semantica is an open-source infrastructure layer that turns enterprise data into structured context and knowledge graphs, where ontologies define meaning and graph reasoning connects facts and decisions. It is intended for AI systems and agents that need traceable, governed, and explainable context in high-stakes domains. The catalogue add-ons provide agent workflows, hooks, and plugins for operating Semantica.

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

temporal 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.

/semantica:temporal

Temporal graph operations. Usage: /semantica:temporal <sub-command> [args]

$ARGUMENTS = sub-command + query/node + date expression.


query "<question>" [at|before|after <date>]

Temporally-scoped natural-language graph query.

from semantica.kg.temporal_query_rewriter import TemporalQueryRewriter
from semantica.kg.temporal_normalizer import TemporalNormalizer

normalizer = TemporalNormalizer()
# Normalize natural date expressions: "last month", "Q3 2024", "2025-01-15"
date = normalizer.normalize(date_expr)

rewriter = TemporalQueryRewriter()
# Rewrite query with temporal constraint
rewritten = rewriter.rewrite(
    query=question,
    temporal_constraint={"op": direction, "value": date},  # op: "at"|"before"|"after"
)

Then run the rewritten query through AgentContext.retrieve() or ContextGraph.query().

Return ranked results with Valid From, Valid Until, Active At <date> columns. Mark nodes that were not yet created at the target time as [not yet created].


snapshot <date>

Reconstruct the full graph state as it existed at a specific point in time.

from semantica.context import ContextGraph

graph = ContextGraph(advanced_analytics=True)

# state_at returns a dict snapshot of the graph at that timestamp
snapshot = graph.state_at(timestamp=date)  # ISO string or datetime

Output:

Graph snapshot at <date>:
  Nodes:       N  (M added since prev snapshot, K removed)
  Edges:       P
  Density:     0.21
  Communities: Q

Active decision categories at <date>:
  | Category | Count | Avg Confidence |

Top 10 nodes (by degree at <date>):
  | Node | Type | Degree |

[Compact Mermaid graph TD — top-10 most connected nodes at that time]

timeline <node_id>

Show attribute and relationship changes for a node across its full history.

from semantica.context import ContextGraph

graph = ContextGraph()

# Use state_at() at multiple time points to reconstruct history
# Check add_node timestamps and edge addition times from graph data
node_data = graph.find_node(node_id)

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.

temporal is a skill published in the GitHub repository semantica-agi/semantica (14,139 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 1,134 tokens. 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 2026-08-30.
