Rust CLI for Graph Indexed Development — 39 commands for graph-based project management and code intelligence.

Built on gid-core. All commands support --json for agent/script consumption.

Installation

cargo install gid-dev-cli

Binary name is gid.

Quick Start

# Initialize a graph in your project
gid init

# Add tasks and dependencies
gid add-node auth-service "Authentication Service" --type component
gid add-node add-oauth "Add OAuth" --status todo
gid add-edge add-oauth auth-service --relation depends_on

# View and manage tasks
gid tasks --ready
gid complete add-oauth

# Analyze your codebase
gid extract .
gid code-impact src/auth.py
gid query impact auth-service

# Visualize
gid visual --format mermaid

Commands

Graph Management

Command Description
gid init Initialize .gid/graph.yml
gid read Dump graph as YAML/JSON
gid validate Check for cycles, orphans, missing refs
gid add-node <id> <title> Add a node
gid remove-node <id> Remove a node (and edges)
gid add-edge <from> <to> Add an edge
gid remove-edge <from> <to> Remove an edge
gid edit-graph <json> Batch operations (JSON array)

Task Tracking

Command Description
gid tasks List tasks

gid task-update <id> --status <s> Update task status
gid complete <id> Mark done, show newly unblocked

Query & Analysis

Command Description
gid query impact <node> What's affected if this changes?
gid query deps <node> Dependencies (add --transitive)
gid query path <from> <to> Shortest path between nodes
gid query common-cause <a> <b> Shared dependencies
gid query topo Topological sort

Code Analysis

Command Description
gid extract [dir] Extract dependency graph from code
gid analyze <file> Deep file analysis (functions, classes)
gid schema [dir] Show all files/classes/functions
gid file-summary <file> Summary of a specific file
gid code-search <keywords> Find relevant code nodes

gid code-impact <files> Impact analysis for file changes
gid code-snippets <keywords> Extract relevant code snippets

History & Versioning

Command Description
gid history list List snapshots
gid history save Save a snapshot
gid history diff <version> Compare to current
gid history restore <version> Restore a version

Visualization

Command Description
gid visual ASCII graph (default)
gid visual --format dot Graphviz DOT
gid visual --format mermaid Mermaid diagram

AI Integration

Command Description
gid design <requirements> Generate prompt for graph design
gid design --parse Parse LLM response → graph
gid semantify Generate prompt for semantic upgrade
gid semantify --heuristic Auto-assign layers (no LLM)
gid semantify --parse Parse LLM response → apply
gid advise Health score and suggestions

Refactoring

Command Description
gid refactor rename <old> <new> Rename node (preview)
gid refactor rename <old> <new> --apply Apply rename
gid refactor merge <a> <b> <new> Merge two nodes
gid refactor split <node> --into a,b,c Split a node
gid refactor extract --nodes a,b --parent p Extract into parent

JSON Output

All commands support --json for programmatic use:

$ gid tasks --json
{
  "tasks": [
    {"id": "add-oauth", "title": "Add OAuth", "status": "todo", ...}
  ],
  "summary": {"total": 5, "todo": 2, "in_progress": 1, "done": 2, ...}
}

$ gid query impact auth-service --json
{
  "node": "auth-service",
  "impacted": [
    {"id": "user-controller", "title": "User Controller"},
    {"id": "api-gateway", "title": "API Gateway"}
  ]
}

Example Workflows

Planning a Feature

# Design the architecture
gid design "Add user notification system with email and push"
# → Generates prompt, send to LLM, then:
gid design --parse < llm-response.txt

# Check what you're working with
gid tasks --ready
gid query deps notification-service --transitive

Impact Analysis Before Refactoring

# What breaks if I change auth.py?
gid code-impact src/auth.py

# Specific node impact
gid query impact AuthService

# Complexity assessment
gid code-complexity AuthService,TokenManager

Debugging Test Failures

# Find symptom nodes from the error
gid code-symptoms "login fails with invalid token"

# Trace to root cause
gid code-trace test_login::test_valid_token --depth 5

# Full failure analysis
gid code-failures --changed AuthService --p2p test_login

Refactoring

# Preview rename
gid refactor rename UserService AuthUserService
# → Shows what changes

# Apply
gid refactor rename UserService AuthUserService --apply

# Merge two related services
gid refactor merge EmailNotifier PushNotifier NotificationService --apply

Global Options

Option Description
--graph <path> Path to graph file (default: auto-find .gid/graph.yml)
--json Output as JSON
