B. User Prompting
When the workflow needs user input, prompt the user conversationally:
- Present options as a numbered list in your response text
- Ask the user to reply with their choice
- For multi-select, ask for comma-separated numbers
C. Tool Usage
Use these Cursor tools when executing GSD workflows:
Shellfor running commands (terminal operations)StrReplacefor editing existing filesRead,Write,Glob,Grep,Task,WebSearch,WebFetch,TodoWriteas needed
D. Subagent Spawning
When the workflow needs to spawn a subagent:
- Use
Task(subagent_type="generalPurpose", ...) - The
modelparameter maps to Cursor's model options (e.g., "fast")
STOP -- DO NOT READ THIS FILE. You are already reading it. This prompt was injected into your context by Cursor's command system. Using the Read tool on this file wastes tokens. Begin executing Step 0 immediately.
CJS-only (graphify): graphify subcommands are not registered on gsd-tools query. Use node C:/Users/Ion/.gemini/antigravity/scratch/smartphone_db/.cursor/gsd-core/bin/gsd-tools.cjs graphify … as documented in this command and in docs/CLI-TOOLS.md. Other tooling may still use gsd-tools query where a handler exists.
Step 0 -- Banner
Before ANY tool calls, display this banner:
GSD > GRAPHIFY
Then proceed to Step 1.
Step 1 -- Config Gate
Check if graphify is enabled by reading .planning/config.json directly using the Read tool.
DO NOT use the gsd-tools config get-value command -- it hard-exits on missing keys.
- Read
.planning/config.jsonusing the Read tool - If the file does not exist: display the disabled message below and STOP
- Parse the JSON content. Check if
config.graphify && config.graphify.enabled === true - If
graphify.enabledis NOT explicitlytrue: display the disabled message below and STOP - If
graphify.enabledistrue: proceed to Step 2
Disabled message:
GSD > GRAPHIFY
Knowledge graph is disabled. To activate:
node C:/Users/Ion/.gemini/antigravity/scratch/smartphone_db/.cursor/gsd-core/bin/gsd-tools.cjs config-set graphify.enabled true
Then run /gsd-graphify build to create the initial graph.
Step 2 -- Parse Argument
Parse {{GSD_ARGS}} to determine the operation mode:
| Argument | Action |
|---|---|
build |
Run inline build (Step 3) |
query <term> |
Run inline query (Step 2a) |
status |
Run inline status check (Step 2b) |
diff |
Run inline diff check (Step 2c) |
| No argument or unknown | Show usage message |
Usage message (shown when no argument or unrecognized argument):
GSD > GRAPHIFY
Usage: /gsd-graphify <mode>
Modes:
build Build or rebuild the knowledge graph
query <term> Search the graph for a term
status Show graph freshness and statistics
diff Show changes since last build
Step 2a -- Query
Run:
node C:/Users/Ion/.gemini/antigravity/scratch/smartphone_db/.cursor/gsd-core/bin/gsd-tools.cjs graphify query <term>
Parse the JSON output and display results:
- If the output contains
"disabled": true, display the disabled message from Step 1 and STOP - If the output contains
"error"field, display the error message and STOP - If no nodes found, display:
No graph matches for '<term>'. Try /gsd-graphify build to create or rebuild the graph. - Otherwise, display matched nodes grouped by type, with edge relationships and confidence tiers (EXTRACTED/INFERRED/AMBIGUOUS)
STOP after displaying results. Do not spawn an agent.
Step 2b -- Status
Run:
node C:/Users/Ion/.gemini/antigravity/scratch/smartphone_db/.cursor/gsd-core/bin/gsd-tools.cjs graphify status
Parse the JSON output and display:
- If
exists: false, display the message field - Otherwise show last build time, node/edge/hyperedge counts, and STALE or FRESH indicator
- If
built_at_commitis non-null, also display aSource commit:line:commit_stale === false(rebuilt at HEAD):Source commit: <built_at_commit> (current)commit_stale === true(graph behind HEAD):Source commit: <built_at_commit> (<commits_behind> commits behind HEAD)commit_stale === null(unreachable commit / no git):Source commit: <built_at_commit> (freshness unknown)
- If
built_at_commitis null (pre-graphify-v0.7 graph), omit the source-commit line entirely — do not render "Source commit: unknown"
The mtime-based STALE/FRESH flag and the commit-based commit_stale measure
different things and can disagree (e.g., a CI-built graph rebuilt minutes ago
against an old checkout reads as FRESH on mtime but commit_stale: true).
Surface both so the agent can choose.
STOP after displaying status. Do not spawn an agent.
Step 2c -- Diff
Run:
node C:/Users/Ion/.gemini/antigravity/scratch/smartphone_db/.cursor/gsd-core/bin/gsd-tools.cjs graphify diff
Parse the JSON output and display:
- If
no_baseline: true, display the message field - Otherwise show node and edge change counts (added/removed/changed)
If no snapshot exists, suggest running build twice (first to create, second to generate a diff baseline).
STOP after displaying diff. Do not spawn an agent.
Step 3 -- Build (Inline)
Run the pre-flight check first:
node "C:/Users/Ion/.gemini/antigravity/scratch/smartphone_db/.cursor/gsd-core/bin/gsd-tools.cjs" graphify build
Parse the JSON output:
- If
disabled: true: display the disabled message from Step 1 and STOP - If
error: display the error message and STOP - If
action: "spawn_agent": pre-flight passed -- proceed with the inline build below
(The spawn_agent action name is historical. The skill now performs the build inline because graphify v0.7+ split the build into a fast AST-extraction phase and a separate clustering + report-write phase. Sub-agent isolation kept the cached extraction phase alive but SIGTERM'd the post-extraction phase when the agent exited, leaving the cache populated but no graph.json artifacts written. The CLI still emits the spawn_agent signal so external callers and tests keep working.)
Display:
GSD > Building knowledge graph...
Run the build, copy artifacts, write the diff snapshot, and report the summary in a single foreground Bash call so the whole pipeline survives to completion. Use a timeout of 600000 ms (10 minutes), which covers the graphify.build_timeout ceiling (default 300 s) with margin:
graphify update . \
&& cp graphify-out/graph.json .planning/graphs/graph.json \
&& { [ -f graphify-out/graph.html ] && cp graphify-out/graph.html .planning/graphs/graph.html || true; } \
&& cp graphify-out/GRAPH_REPORT.md .planning/graphs/GRAPH_REPORT.md \
&& node "C:/Users/Ion/.gemini/antigravity/scratch/smartphone_db/.cursor/gsd-core/bin/gsd-tools.cjs" graphify build snapshot \
&& node "C:/Users/Ion/.gemini/antigravity/scratch/smartphone_db/.cursor/gsd-core/bin/gsd-tools.cjs" graphify status
Do NOT pass run_in_background: true. Typical builds complete in 15-60 seconds and the entire chain must run foreground.
If the chain fails (non-zero exit):
- Display:
## GRAPHIFY BUILD FAILEDfollowed by the captured stderr - Do NOT delete
.planning/graphs/-- the prior valid graph remains available - STOP
If the chain succeeds:
- Parse the trailing
graphify statusJSON - Display:
## GRAPHIFY BUILD COMPLETEwith the node, edge, and hyperedge counts
MVP-Mode Node Rendering
MVP-mode rendering. When a phase has **Mode:** mvp in ROADMAP.md (resolved via gsd-tools query roadmap.get-phase --pick mode), render its graph node with two distinct visual signals:
- Distinct fill color. Use
#22c55e(green) for MVP-mode phase nodes. Standard phases keep the default fill color. Two-channel signaling (color + label) handles color-blind and grayscale renders. MVPlabel suffix. Append(MVP)to the node's label text. Example: a phase originally labeledPhase 1: User Authrenders asPhase 1: User Auth (MVP).
Both signals fire together — never just one. Per PRD Q5 decision, the goal is unambiguous visual distinction in any render context.
When the phase mode is null/absent, render with the standard color and label — no behavioral change for non-MVP phases.
Anti-Patterns
- DO NOT spawn an agent for any operation -- build, query, status, and diff all run inline. Sub-agent isolation terminates background bash when the agent exits, which previously truncated graphify builds mid-write and left only the cache populated (#3166).
- DO NOT pass
run_in_background: truefor the build chain -- the operation is fast and must complete in the foreground. - DO NOT modify graph files directly -- always go through
graphify update .and the snapshot CLI. - DO NOT skip the config gate check.
- DO NOT use
gsd-tools config get-valuefor the config gate -- it exits on missing keys.
