Build and maintain a single graph.yaml capturing the durable state of long-running, open-ended, multi-path work, then let the user render it with the exgraph CLI. Use for research, thesis, long-form fiction, world-building, product discovery, architecture migration, or any investigation with competing paths, hypotheses, and dead branches. Triggers when the user wants to track branches or dead ends, asks "which path am I on" or "what was I doing", or resumes work after days/weeks. Do not use for simple task lists, linear step-by-step execution, or one-shot conversations.
