Refactor AGENTS.md from encyclopedia to map; move spec into docs/
Splits the 990-line AGENTS.md into a 184-line map (architecture,
where-to-find index, always-on invariants, capability matrix,
maintenance contract) plus 18 new docs/*.md files holding the deep
content per topic (storage, schema and query languages, indexes,
embeddings, branches/commits, runs, merge, changes, execution, policy,
server, CLI reference, audit, errors, CI, constants, v0.3.1 notes).

Adds scripts/check-agents-md.sh and a check_agents_md CI job that
verifies every docs/ link in AGENTS.md resolves and every doc in the
canonical set is linked. CLAUDE.md remains a symlink to AGENTS.md.

CLI Reference (omnigraph)

A reference for the omnigraph binary's command surface and omnigraph.yaml schema. For a quick-start guide, see cli.md.

13 top-level command families, 40+ subcommands. All commands accept either a positional URI, --uri, or a --target <name> resolved against omnigraph.yaml.

Top-level commands

Command Purpose
init --schema <pg> → initialize a repo (also scaffolds omnigraph.yaml if missing)
load bulk load a branch (--mode overwrite|append|merge)
ingest branch-creating transactional load (--from <base>)
read run named query (params via --params, --params-file, or alias args)
change run mutation query
snapshot print current snapshot (per-table version + row count)
export dump to JSONL on stdout (--type T, --table K filters)
branch create | list | delete | merge branching ops
commit list | show inspect commit graph
run list | show | publish | abort transactional run ops
schema plan | apply | show (alias: get) migrations
query lint | check offline / repo-backed validation
optimize non-destructive Lance compaction
cleanup --keep N --older-than 7d --confirm destructive version GC
embed offline JSONL embedding pipeline
policy validate | test | explain Cedar tooling
version / -v print omnigraph 0.3.x

omnigraph.yaml schema

project: { name }
graphs:
  <name>:
    uri: <local|s3://|http(s)://>
    bearer_token_env: <ENV_NAME>
server:
  graph: <name>
  bind: <ip:port>
cli:
  graph: <name>
  branch: <name>
  output_format: json|jsonl|csv|kv|table
  table_max_column_width: 80
  table_cell_layout: truncate|wrap
query:
  roots: [<dir>, …]   # search path for .gq files
auth:
  env_file: ./.env.omni
aliases:
  <alias>:
    command: read|change
    query: <path-to-.gq>
    name: <query-name>

    graph: <name>
    branch: <name>
    format: <output-format>
policy:

Output formats (read command)

  • json — pretty-printed object with metadata + rows
  • jsonl — one metadata line then one JSON object per row
  • csv — RFC 4180-ish quoting
  • table — fitted text table, honors table_max_column_width + table_cell_layout
  • kv — grouped per-row key/value blocks

Param resolution

Precedence (high to low): explicit --params / --params-file, alias positional args, omnigraph.yaml defaults. JS-safe-integer handling is built in (is_js_safe_integer_i64, JS_MAX_SAFE_INTEGER_U64) so 64-bit ids round-trip safely through JSON clients.

Bearer token resolution (CLI)

  1. graphs.<name>.bearer_token_env
  2. OMNIGRAPH_BEARER_TOKEN global env
  3. auth.env_file referenced .env

Duration parsing (cleanup)

s | m | h | d | w units, e.g. --older-than 7d.
