Graph Workbench
potpie graph is the low-level graph surface. This is where reads, search, proposals, commits, inbox review, quality checks, and bulk mutation flows live.
Top-level graph commands
| Command | Purpose |
|---|---|
catalog | Discover contract versions, views, mutation ops, and ontology. |
read | V2-style graph reads over named views. |
search-entities | Resolve entities and claims before a write. |
mutate | Legacy wrapper over propose + commit. |
mutation-template | Emit a schema-only skeleton for graph propose. |
nudge | Deterministic event-to-action policy engine. |
status | Show graph readiness and status. |
describe | Describe graph structures or views. |
neighborhood | Read a local neighborhood around an entity or claim. |
propose | Stage graph mutations. |
commit | Commit proposed graph mutations. |
history | Inspect graph mutation history. |
inspect | Inspect graph internals or payloads. |
export | Export graph data. |
import | Import graph data. |
repair | Run repair flows. |

potpie graph mutation-template
Print a schema-only mutation skeleton for graph propose.
Supported --kind values include:
bug-fixdecisionfeatureinfra-snapshotpreferencepreference-policyrepo-baselinetimeline-changetimeline-event
potpie graph nudge
Deterministic local event-to-action policy brain. It injects ranked context, prompts writes, or stays silent without calling a model.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
--event | Event type such as session_start, pre_edit, or test_failed. Required. |
--session | Harness session id. Required. |
--path | File path scope. |
--scope | Scope filter. |
--query | Symptom or intent text. |
--limit | Max injected items, default 5. |
--pot | Pot target. |
