**Lightweight Knowledge Graph for AI-Assisted Development**
LeanKG is a local-first knowledge graph that gives AI coding tools accurate codebase context. It indexes your code, builds dependency graphs, and exposes an MCP server so tools like Cursor, OpenCode, and Claude Code can query the knowledge graph directly. No cloud services, no external databases.
Visualize your knowledge graph with force-directed layout, WebGL rendering, and community clustering.
See [docs/web-ui.md](docs/web-ui.md) for more features.

## Live Demo
Try LeanKG without installing: **https://leankg.onrender.com**
```bash
leankg web --port 9000
```
---
## Installation
### One-Line Install (Recommended)
```bash
**Supported targets:**
| `opencode` | OpenCode AI | Binary + MCP + Plugin + Skill + AGENTS.md |
| `cursor` | Cursor AI | Binary + MCP + Skill + AGENTS.md + Session Hook |
| `claude` | Claude Code | Binary + MCP + Plugin + Skill + CLAUDE.md + Session Hook |
| `gemini` | Gemini CLI | Binary + MCP + Skill + GEMINI.md |
| `kilo` | Kilo Code | Binary + MCP + Skill + AGENTS.md |
| `antigravity` | Google Antigravity | Binary + MCP + Skill + GEMINI.md |
**Examples:**
```bash
```
### Install via Cargo or Build from Source
```bash
cargo install leankg && leankg --version
```
```bash
git clone https://github.com/FreePeak/LeanKG.git && cd LeanKG && cargo build --release
```
---
## Quick Start
```bash
leankg init # Initialize LeanKG in your project
leankg index ./src # Index your codebase
leankg watch ./src # Auto-index on file changes
leankg impact src/main.rs --depth 3 # Calculate blast radius
leankg status # Check index status
leankg metrics # View token savings
leankg web # Start Web UI at http://localhost:8080
# Obsidian vault sync
leankg obsidian init # Initialize Obsidian vault structure
leankg obsidian push # Push LeanKG data to Obsidian notes
leankg obsidian pull # Pull annotation edits from Obsidian
leankg obsidian watch # Watch vault for changes and auto-pull
leankg obsidian status # Show vault status
# Microservice call graph (via Web UI)
leankg web # Start Web UI at http://localhost:8080
# Then visit http://localhost:8080/services
```
See [docs/cli-reference.md](docs/cli-reference.md) for all commands.

## Claude Code Setup
LeanKG auto-triggers in Claude Code sessions via PreToolUse hooks that route search intents to LeanKG tools instead of native tools.
```bash
# Install LeanKG with Claude Code hooks and plugin
leankg setup
# Then restart Claude Code or run:
/reload-plugins
```
**What `leankg setup` installs:**
- `.claude-plugin/` - Plugin manifest for Claude Code validation
- `hooks/` - PreToolUse, SessionStart, PostToolUse hooks
- Adds `leankg@local` to `enabledPlugins` in `~/.claude/settings.json`
**Auto-trigger behavior:**
- `SessionStart` hook injects tool selection hierarchy into every session
- `PreToolUse` hook nudges toward LeanKG when you use Grep/Read/Bash for code analysis
- LeanKG returns token-optimized context instead of scanning entire files
---
## How LeanKG Helps
```mermaid
graph LR
subgraph "Without LeanKG"
A1[AI Tool] -->|Scans entire codebase| B1[10,000+ tokens]
B1 --> A1
end
subgraph "With LeanKG"
A2[AI Tool] -->|13-42 tokens| C[LeanKG Graph]
C -->|Targeted subgraph| A2
end
```
**Without LeanKG**: AI scans entire codebase (~10,000+ tokens).
**With LeanKG**: AI queries knowledge graph for targeted context (13-42 tokens). **98% token saving** for impact analysis.
---
## Highlights
- **Auto-Init** -- Install script configures MCP, rules, skills, and hooks automatically
- **Auto-Trigger** -- Session hooks inject LeanKG context into every AI tool session
- **Token Concise** -- 13-42 tokens per query vs 10,000+ for full codebase scan
- **Token Saving** -- Up to 98% token reduction for impact analysis
- **Impact Radius** -- Compute blast radius before making changes
- **Dependency Graph** -- Build call graphs with `IMPORTS`, `CALLS`, `TESTED_BY` edges
- **MCP Server** -- Expose graph via MCP protocol for AI tool integration
- **Multi-Language** -- Index Go, TypeScript, Python, Rust, Java, Kotlin with tree-sitter
- **Android** -- Extract XML layouts, resources, and manifest relationships
See [docs/architecture.md](docs/architecture.md) for system design and data model details.

## Supported AI Tools
| Cursor | Yes | session-start | - |
| Claude Code | Yes | session-start | Yes |
| OpenCode | Yes | - | Yes |
| Kilo Code | Yes | - | - |
| Gemini CLI | Yes | - | - |
| Google Antigravity | Yes | - | - |
| Codex | Yes | - | - |
> **Note:** Cursor requires per-project installation. The AI features work on a per-workspace basis, so LeanKG should be installed in each project directory where you want AI context injection.
See [docs/agentic-instructions.md](docs/agentic-instructions.md) for detailed setup and auto-trigger behavior.
---
## Context Metrics
Track token savings to understand LeanKG's efficiency.
```bash
leankg metrics --json # View with JSON output
leankg metrics --since 7d # Filter by time
leankg metrics --tool search_code # Filter by tool
```
See [docs/metrics.md](docs/metrics.md) for schema and examples.
---
## Update
```bash
# Check current version
leankg version
# Update LeanKG binary (kills processes, removes old binary, installs hooks)
leankg update
# Or via install script
# Obsidian vault sync
leankg obsidian init # Initialize Obsidian vault
leankg obsidian push # Push LeanKG data to Obsidian notes
leankg obsidian pull # Pull annotation edits from Obsidian
```

## Troubleshooting
### Database Lock Error
If you see `database is locked (code 5)`, another LeanKG process is holding the database:
```bash
# Kill all leankg and vite processes
leankg-kill
# Or manually
pkill -9 -f "leankg"
pkill -9 -f "vite"
```
### Process Management
```bash
leankg proc kill # Kill all leankg and vite processes
leankg proc status # Show running leankg/vite processes
```
**Important:** Always kill the web server before indexing to avoid database lock conflicts.
