Ontoly Software Graph

Overview

Ontoly builds a deterministic Software Graph from a TypeScript repository and exposes it through CLI queries, MCP capabilities, and agent skills. Use this skill when a coding agent needs evidence-backed codebase understanding before searching files directly.

This skill is an operating guide for the public Ontoly project. It does not contain compiler logic; all software understanding should come from Ontoly's generated graph, semantic model, query engine, and MCP server.

When to Use This Skill

• Use when the user asks for repository architecture, module ownership, or onboarding help.
• Use when tracing a request, route, controller, service, provider, dependency, or call chain.
• Use when estimating impact for removing, renaming, or refactoring a symbol, module, package, route, or service.
• Use when reviewing dependency topology, circular imports, dead code, configuration usage, or environment variables.
• Use when the user explicitly wants Ontoly, Software Graph, MCP, graph validation, semantic coverage, or agent skills.

How It Works

Step 1: Verify Ontoly Is Available

Check whether the repository already has Ontoly outputs such as .ontoly/, SoftwareGraph.json, validation reports, or documented Ontoly scripts. If the ontoly command is unavailable, ask the user whether to install or use the repository's documented packa
