karpathy-graph-build SKILL.md skillA
karpathy-graph-build from andersonlimahw/lemon-ai-hub is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add andersonlimahw/lemon-ai-hub/karpathy-graph-build@v1.0.0Pins v1.0.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Stage 3 of the karpathy-graph pipeline, and the end-to-end entry point. Create a graph, assemble validated writes with provenance, and produce the machine and human artifacts. Use when the user asks to build or create a knowledge graph from a context, to add facts to an existing graph, or when running the whole extract-resolve-assemble-query pipeline in one go.
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
# Build
The assembly stage, and the front door for the whole pipeline. This is where a
payload becomes a graph that satisfies the invariants.
## Decide the location first
| Situation | Location |
|---|---|
| User gave a path | exactly that path, via `--path` |
| No path given | `./.karpathy-graphs/<slug>/`, via `--name` |
```bash
KG="${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-plugins/karpathy-graph}/scripts/kgraph.py"
# default location
python3 "$KG" --name "Payments Incident" init --objective "trace vendor to incident"
# explicit location
python3 "$KG" --path ./docs/graphs/payments init --objective "trace vendor to incident"
```
Never write graph files anywhere else, and never create a second root.
## Set the objective and budget
```bash
python3 "$KG" --name "<graph>" init \
--objective "which vendors and components connect to the March incidents" \
--budget '{"max_documents":200,"max_agents":16,"max_tokens":500000}'
```
The objective is not decoration — it decides what belongs in the graph. If a
fact does not serve the objective, leave it out. An unfocused graph is a slow,
expensive way to store noise.
## Assemble
Writes go in as payloads, not as hand-edited files.
```bash

How to install
mdr add andersonlimahw/lemon-ai-hub/karpathy-graph-build@sha256:9b288183f0dcc12eThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
