lat-md-knowledge-graph
Design or audit a repo-local markdown knowledge graph with wiki links, source-code backlinks, drift checks, and searchable sections. Use when AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md is too flat for a large codebase or when a custom harness needs durable structured project memory.
npx skills add stevesolun/ctx --skill lat-md-knowledge-graph --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# lat.md Knowledge Graph ## Purpose Turn durable project knowledge into linked markdown files that agents can search, cite, and keep synchronized with code. ## When to Use - One root instruction file is too large or hides domain decisions. - Agents repeatedly rediscover the same architecture or business rules. - Test intent needs explicit specs linked to test code. - A custom harness needs persistent memory outside conversation history. ## Design Pattern 1. Create a repo-local knowledge directory such as `lat.md/` or `docs/knowledge/`. 2. Split pages by durable concepts: architecture, domain rules, workflows, interfaces, test specs, and operational constraints. 3. Link concepts with `[[wiki links]]`. 4. Link knowledge pages to source symbols or files. 5. Add code backlinks such as comments or metadata where the code implements a documented rule. 6. Add a check that fails on broken links, missing backlinks, stale indexes, or test specs without code mentions. ## ctx Fit Use this alongside ctx's LLM-wiki when a project needs its own local memory graph. ctx recommends skills/MCPs/agents from its catalog; the repo-local graph stores project-specific facts that should not live in the glo

What does the lat-md-knowledge-graph skill do?
Design or audit a repo-local markdown knowledge graph with wiki links, source-code backlinks, drift checks, and searchable sections. Use when AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md is too flat for a large codebase or when a custom harness needs durable structured project memory.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add stevesolun/ctx --skill lat-md-knowledge-graph --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From stevesolun/ctx, a repository with 569 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
