A. Skill Invocation

• This skill is invoked by mentioning $gsd-graphify.
• Treat all user text after $gsd-graphify as {{GSD_ARGS}}.
• If no arguments are present, treat {{GSD_ARGS}} as empty.

B. AskUserQuestion → request_user_input Mapping

GSD workflows use AskUserQuestion (Claude Code syntax). Translate to Codex request_user_input:

Parameter mapping:

• header → header
• question → question
• Options formatted as "Label" — description → {label: "Label", description: "description"}
• Generate id from header: lowercase, replace spaces with underscores

Batched calls:

• AskUserQuestion([q1, q2]) → single request_user_input with multiple entries in questions[]

Multi-select workaround:

• Codex has no multiSelect. Use sequential single-selects, or present a numbered freeform list asking the user to enter comma-separated numbers.

Execute mode fallback:

• When request_user_input is rejected (Execute mode), present a plain-text numbered list and pick a reasonable default.

C. Task() → spawn_agent Mapping

GSD workflows use Task(...) (Claude Code syntax). Translate to Codex collaboration tools:

Direct mapping:

• Task(subagent_type="X", prompt="Y") → spawn_agent(agent_type="X", message="Y")
• Task(model="...") → omit (Codex uses per-role config, not inline model selection)
• fork_context: false by default — GSD agents load their own context via <files_to_read> blocks

Parallel fan-out:

• Spawn multiple agents → collect agent IDs → wait(ids) for all to complete

Result parsing:

• Look for structured markers in agent output: CHECKPOINT, PLAN COMPLETE, SUMMARY, etc.
• close_agent(id) after collecting results from each agent </codex_skill_adapter>

STOP -- DO NOT READ THIS FILE. You are already reading it. This prompt was injected into your context by Claude Code's command system. Using the Read tool on this file wastes tokens. Begin executing Step 0 immediately.

Step 0 -- Banner

Before ANY tool calls, display this banner:

GSD > GRAPHIFY

Then proceed to Step 1.

Step 1 -- Config Gate

Check if graphify is enabled by reading .planning/config.json directly using the Read tool.

DO NOT use the gsd-tools config get-value command -- it hard-exits on missing keys.

1. Read .planning/config.json using the Read tool
2. If the file does not exist: display the disabled message below and STOP
3. Parse the JSON content. Check if config.graphify && config.graphify.enabled === true
4. If graphify.enabled is NOT explicitly true: display the disabled message below and STOP
5. If graphify.enabled is true: proceed to Step 2

Disabled message:

GSD > GRAPHIFY

Knowledge graph is disabled. To activate:

  node /Users/gabrielwillen/VSCode/stateforward/emel/emel.cpp/.codex/get-shit-done/bin/gsd-tools.cjs config-set graphify.enabled true

Then run $gsd-graphify build to create the initial graph.

Step 2 -- Parse Argument

Parse {{GSD_ARGS}} to determine the operation mode:

Argument	Action
build	Spawn graphify-builder agent (Step 3)
query <term>	Run inline query (Step 2a)
status	Run inline status check (Step 2b)
diff	Run inline diff check (Step 2c)
No argument or unknown	Show usage message

Usage message (shown when no argument or unrecognized argument):

GSD > GRAPHIFY

Usage: $gsd-graphify <mode>

Modes:
  build           Build or rebuild the knowledge graph
  query <term>    Search the graph for a term
  status          Show graph freshness and statistics
  diff            Show changes since last build

Step 2a -- Query

Run:

node /Users/gabrielwillen/VSCode/stateforward/emel/emel.cpp/.codex/get-shit-done/bin/gsd-tools.cjs graphify query <term>

Parse the JSON output and display results:

• If the output contains "disabled": true, display the disabled message from Step 1 and STOP
• If the output contains "error" field, display the error message and STOP
• If no nodes found, display: No graph matches for '<term>'. Try $gsd-graphify build to create or rebuild the graph.
• Otherwise, display matched nodes grouped by type, with edge relationships and confidence tiers (EXTRACTED/INFERRED/AMBIGUOUS)

STOP after displaying results. Do not spawn an agent.

Step 2b -- Status

Run:

node /Users/gabrielwillen/VSCode/stateforward/emel/emel.cpp/.codex/get-shit-done/bin/gsd-tools.cjs graphify status

Parse the JSON output and display:

• If exists: false, display the message field
• Otherwise show last build time, node/edge/hyperedge counts, and STALE or FRESH indicator

STOP after displaying status. Do not spawn an agent.

Step 2c -- Diff

Run:

node /Users/gabrielwillen/VSCode/stateforward/emel/emel.cpp/.codex/get-shit-done/bin/gsd-tools.cjs graphify diff

Parse the JSON output and display:

• If no_baseline: true, display the message field
• Otherwise show node and edge change counts (added/removed/changed)

If no snapshot exists, suggest running build twice (first to create, second to generate a diff baseline).

STOP after displaying diff. Do not spawn an agent.

---

Step 3 -- Build (Agent Spawn)

Run pre-flight check first:

PREFLIGHT=$(node "/Users/gabrielwillen/VSCode/stateforward/emel/emel.cpp/.codex/get-shit-done/bin/gsd-tools.cjs" graphify build)

If pre-flight returns disabled: true or error, display the message and STOP.

If pre-flight returns action: "spawn_agent", display:

GSD > Spawning graphify-builder agent...

Spawn a Task:

Task(
  description="Build or rebuild the project knowledge graph",
  prompt="You are the graphify-builder agent. Your job is to build or rebuild the project knowledge graph using the graphify CLI.

Project root: ${CWD}
gsd-tools path: /Users/gabrielwillen/VSCode/stateforward/emel/emel.cpp/.codex/get-shit-done/bin/gsd-tools.cjs

## Instructions

1. **Invoke graphify:**
   Run from the project root:

graphify . --update

This builds the knowledge graph with SHA256 incremental caching.
Timeout: up to 5 minutes (or as configured via graphify.build_timeout).

2. **Validate output:**
Check that graphify-out/graph.json exists and is valid JSON with nodes[] and edges[] arrays.
If graphify exited non-zero or graph.json is not parseable, output:
## GRAPHIFY BUILD FAILED
Include the stderr output for debugging. Do NOT delete .planning/graphs/ -- prior valid graph remains available.

3. **Copy artifacts to .planning/graphs/:**

cp graphify-out/graph.json .planning/graphs/graph.json cp graphify-out/graph.html .planning/graphs/graph.html cp graphify-out/GRAPH_REPORT.md .planning/graphs/GRAPH_REPORT.md

These three files are the build output consumed by query, status, and diff commands.

4. **Write diff snapshot:**

node "/Users/gabrielwillen/VSCode/stateforward/emel/emel.cpp/.codex/get-shit-done/bin/gsd-tools.cjs" graphify build snapshot

This creates .planning/graphs/.last-build-snapshot.json for future diff comparisons.

5. **Report build summary:**

node "/Users/gabrielwillen/VSCode/stateforward/emel/emel.cpp/.codex/get-shit-done/bin/gsd-tools.cjs" graphify status

Display the node count, edge count, and hyperedge count from the status output.

When complete, output: ## GRAPHIFY BUILD COMPLETE with the summary counts.
If something fails at any step, output: ## GRAPHIFY BUILD FAILED with details."
)

Wait for the agent to complete.

Anti-Patterns

1. DO NOT spawn an agent for query/status/diff operations -- these are inline CLI calls
2. DO NOT modify graph files directly -- the build agent handles writes
3. DO NOT skip the config gate check
4. DO NOT use gsd-tools config get-value for the config gate -- it exits on missing keys
