Global Knowledge Graph FAQs

Question 1

How does this skill improve refactoring safety?

Accepted Answer

GKG provides a 'get-references' feature that identifies every usage of a specific function, class, or method across the entire codebase. This allows you to perform thorough impact analysis and ensure no dependencies are broken before you commit changes.

Question 2

Can GKG help me understand a new repository quickly?

Accepted Answer

Yes. By using the 'repo-map' command, GKG generates a compact, API-style overview of the project structure, while 'import-usage' traces how different modules and packages interact, significantly shortening the learning curve for new codebases.

Question 3

Which programming languages does GKG support?

Accepted Answer

GKG features robust cross-language support, specifically optimized for TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, and Java, allowing for deep analysis across multi-language projects.

Question 4

When should I use the GKG skill in my workflow?

Accepted Answer

You should use GKG whenever you need to search for specific code definitions, find all references to a symbol, map out an unfamiliar repository's architecture, or analyze dependencies before performing a refactor.

Question 5

What is the Global Knowledge Graph (GKG) skill?

Accepted Answer

The Global Knowledge Graph (GKG) is a specialized Claude Code skill that indexes and analyzes your codebases. It provides advanced semantic symbol lookup, reference tracking, and structural mapping to help Claude understand complex projects.
