Code Graph Query

AI Maestro keeps a graph of your agent's project: functions, classes and their calls, inheritance, includes, model associations and serializers. It answers "what breaks if I change this" faster and more completely than grep, which misses indirect callers, subclasses and serializers. The scripts find your agent from the tmux session; names are case-sensitive.

graph-describe.sh <name>               # summary: callers, callees, extends/extended by, includes, serializers
graph-find-callers.sh <function>       # who calls it: check before changing a signature
graph-find-callees.sh <function>       # what it calls
graph-find-related.sh <component>      # extends, includes and other relationships
graph-find-path.sh <from> <to>         # call path between two functions (up to 5 hops)
graph-find-by-type.sh <type>           # model | serializer | controller | service | job | mailer | concern | component | hook
graph-find-associations.sh <model>     # belongs_to / has_many etc.
graph-find-serializers.sh <model>      # serializers to update when a model changes

For a change to shared code, graph-describe.sh usually answers the question in one call; use the narrower scripts when you need the full list.

Keeping the graph current

graph-index-delta.sh [project-path]

Re-indexes only new, modified and deleted files (seconds); the first run on a project does the full index. Without a path it uses the agent's working directory. Run it after significant code changes if results look stale.

If the command fails

  • command not found or common.sh not found: run ./install-graph-tools.sh from the AI Maestro checkout (update-aimaestro.sh also reinstalls the tools).
  • Empty results: check the exact name, list candidates with graph-find-by-type.sh, or index with graph-index-delta.sh.
  • AI Maestro unreachable: fall back to grep and tell the user the dependency check was manual.
