Update Graph (Working Tree)

Update the knowledge graph with uncommitted working tree changes (staged + unstaged).

When to Use

• After editing files mid-session (working tree dirty, nothing committed yet)
• When /graph-sync reports "up to date" but you've made local changes
• Before running /graph-blast-radius on uncommitted work
• At the end of /graph-sync (explicitly invoked as step 4)

How It Works

1. Diffs working tree against a base commit (default: HEAD~1)
2. Finds changed/added/deleted files in the working tree
3. Re-parses changed/added files, removes deleted files from graph
4. Re-runs API connector and implicit connector (same as sync)

Steps

1. Run update via Bash:
   bashCopy

   python .claude/scripts/code_graph update --json
   

2. Report results: Files updated, added, deleted
3. If no changes detected, report "Working tree clean — graph already up to date"

Options

Related Skills

• /graph-sync — Sync committed changes (invokes /graph-update in step 4)
• /graph-build — Full or incremental graph build
• /graph-blast-radius — Analyze structural impact of changes
• /graph-query — Query code relationships

Closing Reminders

• MUST break work into small todo tasks using TaskCreate BEFORE starting
• MUST search codebase for 3+ similar patterns before creating new code
• MUST cite file:line evidence for every claim (confidence >80% to act)
• MUST add a final review todo task to verify work quality
