agent-utilities — Master Skill Reference
CONCEPT:AU-ECO.toolkit.self-documenting-plugin-bundle — Self-Documenting Skill-Graph
agent-utilities is a self-evolving AI framework built on 5 pillars. This skill-graph
provides agents (Antigravity, Claude Code, Windsurf, OpenCode) with complete context
for using, developing, and extending the framework.

🧬 Concept ID System
Every feature in agent-utilities has a CONCEPT:X.Y tag providing 1:1:1 traceability:
CONCEPT:AU-ORCH.adapter.hot-cache-invalidation → code: graph/routing.py
→ test: tests/unit/graph/test_routing.py
→ docs: docs/pillars/1_graph_orchestration/ORCH-1.2.md
40 canonical concepts across 5 pillars. All new features require DSTDD design phase.
See docs/concept_map.md for the complete registry.
🔧 Core Dependencies
- Pydantic AI: Agent framework with structured output
- NetworkX: Graph engine for KG operations
- RDFLib/OWLReady2: OWL ontology reasoning
- LM Studio: Default local LLM backend (vllm.example)
🤖 Agent Usage Guide
- When developing FOR agent-utilities, consult development/SKILL.md
- When USING agent-utilities tools, consult tools/SKILL.md
- Every code module has a
CONCEPT:X.Y tag in its docstring — use this for traceability
- All prompts live in
agent_utilities/prompts/*.json — reference by agent name
- OWL ontologies are in
knowledge_graph/ontology_*.ttl
- The KG MCP server (
graph-os) exposes graph_query, graph_search, graph_write,
graph_analyze, graph_ingest, and graph_orchestrate (full reference:
tools/SKILL.md) — condensed by default (MCP_TOOL_MODE=condensed,
~95 tools); a small/cheap-LLM deployment can instead set MCP_TOOL_MODE=intent
(CONCEPT:AU-ECO.mcp.intent-surface-condensed-collapse, Seam 8) to collapse them behind six
ask/find/write/act/manage/why verbs — see
docs/architecture/intent-surface.md
