Knowledge graph

The queryable graph of a workspace's spells, targets, docs, and code relationships; query it with magus query/explain/path.

Elsewhere

A knowledge graph in the RAG sense is usually extracted from text by a model, and Google's or an RDF store holds facts about the world. The magus knowledge graph is built from declared sources and code indexes without a model, so the same tree always yields the same graph.

Example

magus query "kind=spell"

Knowledge graphThe knowledge graph is a deterministic, cache-backed graph of the magus domain (projects, targets, spells, ops, charms, modules, diagnostics, docs, and buzz sources) that agents and humans query instead of grepping. This page covers the schema, the verbs, the file layout, and how to point external graph tools at an export. ConventionsHow to read the magus docs: placeholders, shell commands, runnable examples, admonitions, code-block titles, and auto-generated pages. MCPmagus serves its tools as a Model Context Protocol server, over stdio for the agent host that launches magus mcp, or over Streamable HTTP from magus server.

Glossary

Workspace

The magus root directory that owns a set of projects and shared config; the unit magus operates over. Workspace in full.

Target

A named operation (build, test, ...) you invoke with magus run <target>; it may compose a spell's tool-native operations and depend on other targets. Target in full.

Spell

A language/runtime adapter (e.g. go, md) that maps generic targets onto a toolchain's real commands. Spell in full.

Knowledge graph

The queryable graph of a workspace's spells, targets, docs, and code relationships; query it with magus query/explain/path. Knowledge graph in full.

MAGUS.md

The committed routing index at a workspace root, regenerated from the knowledge graph: it lists every node and points at the exact query for a given question, so it is the entry point an agent reads first. MAGUS.md in full.

Insight

The reports magus derives over the graph and history (hotspots, affinity, ownership, trend, volatility, unreferenced). Insight in full.
