⚠ This skill is no longer available upstream. Our re-check on Aug 10, 2026 couldn't find it any more (repo unreachable/deleted). The test below is what we measured on Jul 24, 2026 and we're leaving it up as a record — but there is nothing left to install, so we've removed the command.
Built the CLI (npm install + tsc) and ran it for real: seeded a db with 4 reasoning claims and 3 edges, then 'buddy graph' reported 'Claims: 4 | Edges: 3 | Sessions: 1' and wrote a 19KB interactive vis-network HTML with every claim text embedded; 'buddy graph sess-demo-1' correctly scoped to that session. Against a no-skill baseline the win is concrete — one documented command versus discovering ~/.buddy/buddy.db, reverse-engineering the reasoning_claims/reasoning_edges schema and hand-rolling a visualization. Only relevant to users who already run Buddy, and requires the project built or the packaged binary installed.
Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works
- Installs cleanly 5/5
- Triggers reliably 5/5
- Output vs. baseline 8/10
- Docs & honesty 5/5
What Buddy Graph does
Invokes Buddy's local CLI (buddy graph [session_id]) to render the guard-mode reasoning graph — claims, edges, findings and sessions — as a standalone interactive vis-network HTML file. Reads from ~/.buddy/buddy.db (or BUDDY_DB_PATH) and prints the saved path plus counts. Triggers when a Buddy user wants to inspect or debug reasoning structure as a graph rather than via an MCP tool.
How to install Buddy Graph
Nothing to install: the source repository no longer has this skill. If the author brings it back, our daily re-check will pick it up and the command will reappear here.
Commands — how to trigger Buddy Graph
-
/buddy-graphOne CLI command renders Buddy's reasoning data as an interactive graph
It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:
-
Render my last Buddy session's reasoning as an interactive graph -
Show the claims and edges from this guard-mode session -
Visualize Buddy's findings graph for debugging session
Frequently asked questions
- Is the Buddy Graph skill free?
- Yes. The skill itself is free from fiorastudio/buddy. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.
- Does Buddy Graph work with Claude Code?
- We tested it with Claude Code 2.x (agent harness) on Jul 24, 2026. Verdict: Tested · Works. Built the CLI (npm install + tsc) and ran it for real: seeded a db with 4 reasoning claims and 3 edges, then 'buddy graph' reported 'Claims: 4 | Edges: 3 | Sessions: 1' and wrote a 19KB interactive vis-network HTML with every claim text embedded; 'buddy graph sess-demo-1' correctly scoped to that session.

- What is the Buddy Graph SkillProof Score?
- 9.2/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 8/10, docs & honesty 5/5.
- How do I install Buddy Graph?
- Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.
- Can I use Buddy Graph with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?
- The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.
