nanograph operations
Operational guide for managing nanograph 1.2.x embedded graph databases — schema design, mutations, queries, CDC, embeddings, media, and maintenance. Teaches the defaults that prevent the usual agent mistakes: stale-schema writes, fragile raw CLI invocations, and obsolete manifest or WAL assumptions.
- Schema-first workflow with
.pgschemas and.gqqueries - Targeted mutations instead of export-edit-reload loops

Before doing anything
Run from the directory where nanograph.toml lives. nanograph resolves config from the current working directory and does not walk parent directories.
Inspect the database before operating on it:
nanograph describe --format json
nanograph doctor

nanograph-lance
Safely migrate a legacy nanograph database onto the current NamespaceLineage storage generation. Use this skill when the CLI says a database uses legacy storage, when a user asks about storage migration, manifest or WAL changes, or when a project needs the current lineage-native CDC rail. This is a one-shot storage migration with clear verification and rollback steps.
13nanograph-industry-intel
Stand up a SPIKE industry intelligence graph on nanograph. Use this skill whenever the user wants to set up a SPIKE-style knowledge graph — either using the existing AI industry example or designing the ontology for another domain (Biotech, Fintech, Space, Crypto, Geopolitics, or anything else the user brings). The skill focuses on ontology and schema: it either reuses the AI template or collaborates with the user to design a domain-specific ontology (entity kinds, sub-fields, actor roles, source/artifact types) following the AI pattern, then adapts the schema and initializes the database. Data loading, research, and ingestion are explicitly out of scope — use the nanograph-ops skill for those. Apply when the user says any of: set up SPIKE, bootstrap an intel graph, create a knowledge graph for X industry, initialize intel for Y, start a new context graph, set up a graph for AI / biotech / fintech / space / crypto / geopolitics / <any domain>.
