Hivemind Graph

Hivemind Code Graph (OpenClaw)

A deterministic, AST-derived map of the current repository — every function,

class, method, interface, type, enum, const, and module, plus the edges between

them (calls, imports, extends, implements, method_of).

The graph builds and refreshes automatically after each turn (gated by rate

limit + git diff). You never run a build command — just call the graph tools.

Set plugins.entries.hivemind.config.tuning.HIVEMIND_GRAPH_CWD in

~/.openclaw/openclaw.json to the git root of the project you want indexed

when the gateway's working directory is not the repo (then restart the gateway).

Use the graph as a fast INDEX to locate the few files/symbols that matter,

then use the host's read/exec tools on the real source. It is not a substitute

for reading source files.

When to use this skill

Activate when the user asks a *structural / relational* question about the code:

• "What calls pushSnapshot?" / "Who uses this function?"
• "What does deeplake-pull.ts import?" / "What depends on X?"
• "Where is GraphSnapshot defined?" / "Find the function that handles Y."
• "What are the main subsystems / the architecture here?"
• "If I change this signature, what's affected?"

Tools

• hivemind_graph_search({ pattern }) — search symbols by substring (or

multi-token AND with +, e.g. auth+handler). Returns matches with 1-hop

neighbors (callers, callees, imports). Start here.

• hivemind_graph_neighborhood({ file }) — every symbol in a repo-relative

file path plus its cross-file neighbors.

Workflow

• Broad structural question? hivemind_graph_search({ pattern: "<symbol>" }).
• Know the file? hivemind_graph_neighborhood({ file: "src/hooks/capture.ts" }).
• Need the actual code? Open the source_file:line from the tool output with

the host read tool — don't answer from the graph alone.

When NOT to use this skill

• Reading the body of a symbol you already located → use the host read tool.
• Code that isn't committed/built yet — the graph can lag uncommitted edits.
• Languages outside TypeScript, JavaScript, and Python — fall back to grep.

Anti-patterns

• Zero incoming callers does NOT mean dead code. Instance-method dispatch and

dynamic calls are not fully resolved.

• The graph can be stale. Prefer live source for files edited in this session.
• pattern is lexical, not semantic — try multiple keywords if the first misses.
