Ontoly Software Graph

Use Ontoly when a coding agent needs graph-backed software understanding before searching source files directly.

Ontoly builds a deterministic Software Graph from a TypeScript repository and exposes it through CLI queries, MCP capabilities, and agent skills. The skill teaches workflow only; Ontoly remains the source of truth.

Workflow

1. Check whether an Ontoly graph already exists in the repository, such as .ontoly/, SoftwareGraph.json, or documented Ontoly scripts.
2. If the graph is missing and local graph output is appropriate, run ontoly build ..
3. Check graph diagnostics, trust, semantic coverage, framework detection, and validation before making architecture claims.
4. Prefer Ontoly CLI or MCP capabilities for architecture summaries, request tracing, dependency analysis, configuration lookup, framework reports, and impact analysis.
5. Inspect source files only when the graph is missing, incomplete, untrusted for the question, or the user explicitly asks for source-level verification.
