graph-retrieval

A retrieval capability that searches a graph of a repository, where files and relationships are represented as connected facts.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use the query_graph tool to retrieve relevant triples, nodes, edges, a summary, and metadata that can be used to replay or verify the evidence.
Why use it?
It returns focused relationship data with evidence, which helps answer dependency and structure questions without bypassing the existing processing pipeline.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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-retrieval 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 2d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (__init__.py, tools.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.

What it actually says

Graph Retrieval Skill

Purpose

Expose graph-based retrieval as a tool capability without breaking the existing RepoBrain execution chain.

Tool

  • query_graph(query, max_hops=2, workspace='.')

Behavior

  • Reads normalized graph store files under .repobrain/graph/.
  • Builds a query-relevant subgraph.
  • Returns LLM-friendly semantic triples plus replayable evidence metadata.

Output Contract

{
  "summary": "...",
  "triples": [["subject", "predicate", "object"]],
  "evidence": [{"retrieval_id": "...", "tool_name": "..."}],
  "nodes": [...],
  "edges": [...]
}

Design Notes

  • Keeps tool-driven and replayable architecture.
  • Does not bypass pipeline.
  • Intended for structure/dependency questions and context enrichment.
Files

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

graph-retrieval is a skill published in the GitHub repository study8677/repobrain (1,322 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 46 tokens to every session and 228 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-30.
