- Build an entity-relationship link-analysis graph of an investigation — nodes, typed edges carrying source and confidence, aliases, and temporal validity — to expose shared infrastructure, bridging nodes and the real principal behind a [человек]. Use when an investigation has outgrown a list and needs a graph, or when asked how a set of people, companies and domains connect.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Graph the network A list of thirty selectors and a graph of thirty selectors contain identical information, and only one of them lets you see that two clusters share a node. That is the entire justification: humans do not detect shared elements across rows, and detect them instantly in a layout. The beginner mistake is treating the graph as an output — a picture drawn at the end for the report. It is the case's working memory, built from the first pivot, and the report is generated from it. ## Decide the schema before the second node Everything useful downstream — deduplication, centrality, querying, the report table — depends on decisions made in the first ten minutes. Two rules: **One node per real-world thing.** An alias is an attribute, not a node. If "J. Okonkwo", "jokonkwo", and "[человек] Okonkwo" are three nodes, every metric you compute is wrong: degree is split three ways, so the most important person in the case looks peripheral, and the shared connection between two clusters never appears because it is distributed across duplicates. Merge on evidence and record the merge (which selectors, what confidence) — an unrecorded merge is an …

How to install
mdr add tonydzi/second-brain-starter-kit/graph-the-network@sha256:0b99164a7aa55ab1The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261020.402f6b7, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
