KG Extract

Extract entities (classes, functions, modules, types, concepts) and their relations (imports, extends, implements, depends-on, calls) from source files, then store them as a knowledge graph in AgentDB.

When to use

When you need to build or update a knowledge graph from source code or documentation. Useful for understanding codebase structure, dependency analysis, and impact assessment.

Steps

1. Scan files -- use Glob and Read to enumerate and read source files at the given path

2. Identify entities -- extract classes, functions, modules, types, and config references from each file

3. Map relations -- for each entity, determine its relations to other entities. Critical: TypeScript import type and inline type specifiers (import { type Foo, bar }) are erased at compile time and MUST NOT be counted as value imports -- they're a separate, weaker relation. Misclassifying them produces phantom runtime cycles (see ruvnet/ruflo#2049).

   • imports: value imports (import { x } from '...', require(...)) -- weight 0.9
   • type-depends-on: TypeScript type-only imports (import type { Foo } from '...' and import { type Foo, value } from '...') -- weight 0.1, never used for cycle detection or runtime impact analysis
   • extends: class inheritance -- weight 0.9
   • implements: interface implementations -- weight 0.7
   • depends-on: constructor dependencies, injected services -- weight 0.8
   • calls: function/method invocations -- weight 0.7
   • references: documentation mentions, comments -- weight 0.3

   Regex hint for classifying TS imports (so a naive from '...' grep doesn't conflate the two):

   ^\s*import\s+type\s+               → type-depends-on (entire import is type-only)
   ^\s*import\s*\{[^}]*\btype\s+\w+   → split: type specifiers → type-depends-on, value specifiers → imports
   ^\s*import\s+[^{]*\bfrom\s+        → imports (value)
   

4. Store in AgentDB -- call mcp__ruflo__agentdb_hierarchical-store for each entity with metadata (name, type, file, line, description)

5. Create edges -- call mcp__ruflo__agentdb_causal-edge for each relation with source, target, relation type, and weight

6. Report -- summarize: total entities by type, total relations by type, files scanned
