About kg-extract
kg-extract is a skill for extracting code and documentation entities and their relationships, then storing them in AgentDB. It supports codebase structure analysis, dependency review, and impact assessment, with explicit handling of TypeScript type-only imports.
Key features
- 01Extracts code and documentation entities
- 02Maps imports, inheritance, calls, and dependencies
- 03Separates type-only imports from value imports
- 04Stores entities and relations in AgentDB
- 05Reports entity and relation totals
Use cases
- 01Build a knowledge graph from source files
- 02Analyze codebase dependencies and structure
- 03Assess the impact of code changes
MCP support
Uses Ruflo MCP tools to store entities and causal edges in AgentDB.
Install

Details
From the project READMEKG 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
-
Scan files -- use
GlobandReadto enumerate and read source files at the given path -
Identify entities -- extract classes, functions, modules, types, and config references from each file
-
Map relations -- for each entity, determine its relations to other entities. Critical: TypeScript
import typeand inlinetypespecifiers (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(...)) -- weight0.9type-depends-on: TypeScript type-only imports (import type { Foo } from '...'andimport { type Foo, value } from '...') -- weight0.1, never used for cycle detection or runtime impact analysisextends: class inheritance -- weight0.9implements: interface implementations -- weight0.7depends-on: constructor dependencies, injected services -- weight0.8calls: function/method invocations -- weight0.7references: documentation mentions, comments -- weight0.3
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) -
Store in AgentDB -- call
mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__agentdb_hierarchical-storefor each entity with metadata (name, type, file, line, description) -
Create edges -- call
mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__agentdb_causal-edgefor each relation with source, target, relation type, and weight -
Report -- summarize: total entities by type, total relations by type, files scanned
