SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? It gives you an instant, structured overview of your CONSTRUCT knowledge graph's health — card counts, lifecycle stages, domain coverage, and connection quality — without manually querying the CLI and interpreting raw JSON. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Health Dashboard: Renders card totals by lifecycle (seed/growing/mature/archived), connection counts by type, and per-domain coverage tables. - Quality Metrics: Surfaces stale cards, orphan cards, and confidence distribution so you can spot decay early. - Actionable Suggestions: Recommends follow-up actions like running curation cycles, gap analysis, or research cycles based on the findings. - Use Case: You open your workspace and ask "how are things?" — the Skill calls construct_graph_status via MCP (or falls back to construct status --json) and returns a formatted report with interpretation. ## Quick Start Ask the agent "show me my graph status" or "how is my knowledge graph doing?" to get a formatted health dashboard of your CONSTRUCT workspace.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I check the health of my CONSTRUCT knowledge graph?▼

Ask for "status", "graph health", or "dashboard" and the Skill calls the construct_graph_status MCP tool or the construct status --json CLI command. It returns card counts, lifecycle distribution, domain coverage, and quality metrics in a formatted report.

What metrics does the CONSTRUCT graph status report include?▼

The report includes total cards by lifecycle stage (seed, growing, mature, archived), connections by type, per-domain card counts with average confidence, stale and orphan card counts, confidence distribution, and research activity stats.

Does graph status work without the MCP server running?▼

Yes, it falls back to the CLI command construct status --workspace . --json when the MCP server is unavailable. The CLI must be installed and available on your PATH for the fallback to work.

What should I do if the status report shows many orphan cards?▼

Orphan cards lack connections to other cards. The Skill suggests connecting them to related cards or archiving irrelevant ones, and a high orphan rate may indicate your graph needs a curation cycle.

Why does the status command fail to return data?▼

Failure usually means the MCP server is not running and the construct CLI is not on your PATH. Start the server with construct mcp or verify the CLI installation, and confirm you are pointing at a valid workspace root.
