Build Graph

Build or incrementally update the persistent code knowledge graph for this repository.

Steps

1. **Check graph status** by calling the `list_graph_stats_tool` MCP tool.

• If the graph has never been built (last_updated is null), proceed with a full build.
• If the graph exists, proceed with an incremental update.

2. **Build the graph** by calling the `build_or_update_graph_tool` MCP tool:

• For first-time setup: `build_or_update_graph_tool(full_rebuild=True)`
• For updates: `build_or_update_graph_tool()` (incremental by default)

3. **Verify** by calling `list_graph_stats_tool` again and report the results:

• Number of files parsed
• Number of nodes and edges created
• Languages detected
• Any errors encountered

When to Use

• First time setting up the graph for a repository
• After major refactoring or branch switches
• If the graph seems stale or out of sync
• The graph auto-updates via hooks on edit/commit, so manual builds are rarely needed

Notes

• The graph is stored as a SQLite database (`.code-review-graph/graph.db`) in the repo root
• Binary files, generated files, and patterns in `.code-review-graphignore` are skipped
• Supported languages: Python, TypeScript/JavaScript, Vue, Go, Rust, Java, Scala, C#, Ruby, Kotlin, Swift, PHP, Solidity, C/C++
