REQUIRED FIRST — starts TypeDB + dashboard via Docker, loads the Alhazen base schema. Must install before any other Alhazen skill.
Install with Codex or Claude Copy this prompt, paste it into Codex, Claude, or another assistant, and let it review the skill page and install it for you.
TypeDB-backed ontological memory with schema-driven retrieval. Introspects the live knowledge graph schema, composes TypeQL queries dynamically, and combines graph traversal with embedding-based semantic search for three-stage retrieval (plan, execute, organize with provenance).
Store and retrieve knowledge in the Alhazen TypeDB knowledge graph - remember, recall, organize papers and notes
Brief description of what this skill does
Design and implement TypeDB-backed curation skills using the Skillful Alhazen methodology
Search the web using SearXNG (self-hosted metasearch - no API key needed)

| description | REQUIRED FIRST — starts TypeDB + dashboard via Docker, loads the Alhazen base schema. Must install before any other Alhazen skill. |
Install and initialize this skill before any other Alhazen skill.
Starts the shared infrastructure via Docker Compose: TypeDB (knowledge graph database) + Dashboard (web UI for visualizing skill data). Loads alhazen_notebook.tql (the base schema that all domain skills extend).
When to use: First-time setup, infrastructure health checks, wiring skill dashboards, resetting the database.
uv must be installed# Initialize TypeDB + dashboard (idempotent — safe to re-run)
uv run --project <skill-path> python <skill-path>/alhazen_core.py init
# Check status
uv run --project <skill-path> python <skill-path>/alhazen_core.py status
After init:
localhost:1729http://localhost:3001The dashboard starts empty (just a hub page). After installing skills that have dashboards, wire them in and rebuild:
# 1. Wire a skill's dashboard into the container
uv run --project <skill-path> python <skill-path>/alhazen_core.py wire-dashboard \
--skill-name jobhunt \
--dashboard-dir /path/to/jobhunt/dashboard \
--display-name "Jobhunt" \
--icon Briefcase \
--color indigo
# 2. Repeat for each skill with a dashboard...
# 3. Rebuild once (takes 30-60s)
uv run --project <skill-path> python <skill-path>/alhazen_core.py rebuild-dashboard
# 4. Check what's wired
uv run --project <skill-path> python <skill-path>/alhazen_core.py dashboard-status
When the user says "rebuild the dashboard", run steps 1-3 for each installed skill that has a dashboard/ directory.
