๐ง Knowledge Graph¶
๐ง Purpose of the Knowledge Graph¶
The ConnectSoft Knowledge Graph is a unified, semantically enriched, memory-augmented graph that models all software artifacts, their relationships, and the reasoning paths between them. It serves as the foundational intelligence substrate for all AI agents in the ConnectSoft AI Software Factory.
It enables:
- ๐ Contextual retrieval: Agents retrieve semantically similar or causally related artifacts
- ๐ค Agent orchestration: Coordinators use graph paths to chain agents and skills
- ๐ง Memory linkage: Traces agent-generated artifacts across sessions and runs
- ๐ Traceability and validation: Connects features to events, spans, tests, and metrics
- ๐ Feedback loops: Allows runtime memory evolution and auto-correction
๐ What It Is Not¶
- โ Not a static dependency map
- โ Not just a database schema
- โ Not limited to source code or documents
Instead, the graph fuses semantic, functional, temporal, and agent-generated memory into a unified structure that continuously evolves.
๐งฉ High-Level Structure¶
At its core, the Knowledge Graph consists of:
| Element | Description |
|---|---|
| Nodes | Memory entities, semantic concepts, code files, events, spans, prompts, etc. |
| Edges | Directed relationships with typed meaning (generatedFrom, validates, uses) |
| Embeddings | High-dimensional vectors enabling semantic reasoning |
| Trace IDs | Causal or lineage-based chains between related nodes |
| Scopes | Project, session, or global partitioning of graph segments |
๐ Graph Roles in the Factory¶
| Role | Use |
|---|---|
| Agents | Traverse the graph to recall, infer, and validate knowledge |
| Indexers | Populate the graph from Git, pipelines, observability, DSLs |
| Coordinators | Plan execution across agents based on graph segments |
| Validators | Use subgraphs to check consistency and completeness |
| Prompt Engines | Resolve grounding facts from nearest nodes and edges |
๐ฏ Goals of the Graph¶
- Enable memory-backed generation (not stateless prompts)
- Model cross-domain knowledge (from UI to API to observability)
- Support real-time traceability (from input to test to log to release)
- Act as the reasoning backbone for autonomous agents
๐ Summary¶
The ConnectSoft Knowledge Graph is the intelligent, memory-rich foundation that:
- Connects artifacts, ideas, events, and agents
- Supports full-lifecycle traceability
- Powers smart retrieval, validation, and agent collaboration
- Evolves in real time as the platform is used
In the next cycle, weโll explore the core elements: nodes, edges, embeddings, and how they form the semantic and structural basis of the graph.
๐ง Core Concepts: Nodes, Edges, and Embeddings¶
๐น What Are Graph Nodes?¶
In the ConnectSoft Knowledge Graph, a node is any identifiable, semantically meaningful unit of software or knowledge. Nodes may be:
| Node Type | Description |
|---|---|
blueprint |
A feature-level functional specification |
event |
Domain or integration-level event |
span |
A telemetry trace span |
prompt |
A semantic prompt template or conversation |
test |
A test case, scenario, or coverage definition |
component |
A UI or backend code module |
skill |
A semantic kernel or agent capability |
memory |
A persistent knowledge object with embeddings |
doc |
Markdown-based documentation or wiki page |
model |
DTO, command, entity, or projection |
Each node has a nodeId, optional embedding, tags, source, and metadata.
๐ What Are Graph Edges?¶
Edges represent semantic or causal relationships between nodes.
| Edge Type | Meaning |
|---|---|
generatedFrom |
A was created from B (e.g., test generated from blueprint) |
validates |
A verifies B (e.g., span validates feature execution) |
uses |
A uses or calls B (e.g., component uses model) |
linkedTo |
Soft link without directionality |
tracedTo |
Causally derived from (e.g., user flow to log span) |
resolves |
A completes or implements B (e.g., skill resolves prompt) |
emits / handles |
Event-related relationships |
correlatesWith |
Analytics-based similarity or co-occurrence |
Edges always have:
fromNodeIdtoNodeIdtype- Optional
weight,timestamp, andsourceAgent
๐ Graph Representation (Mermaid)¶
graph TD
A[Blueprint: User Registration]
B[Test: UserRegistration.feature]
C[Span: user.register]
D[Model: RegisterUserCommand]
E[Event: UserRegistered]
B -- generatedFrom --> A
C -- validates --> A
C -- tracedTo --> B
D -- usedIn --> A
E -- emittedBy --> A
This traceable path allows agents to follow intent โ execution โ validation.
๐ What Are Embeddings?¶
Each node can include a vector embedding โ a mathematical representation of its meaning โ which allows:
- ๐ Semantic search ("find similar events to
UserRegistered") - ๐ง Prompt augmentation (nearest memory match)
- ๐งฉ Automatic linkage based on vector proximity
- ๐งช Anomaly detection (disconnected but semantically similar nodes)
Embeddings are usually generated via OpenAI or Azure OpenAI APIs and stored in a vector database (e.g., Qdrant, Pinecone, Azure Cognitive Search).
๐งฌ Composite and Hybrid Nodes¶
Some nodes represent composite artifacts, like:
- A generated microservice (containing blueprint + code + test + observability)
- A project-wide SLO (connecting metrics + span + release + team)
These are virtual nodes or supernodes, enabling group operations or reasoned summarization.
๐ฆ Metadata Fields on Nodes¶
| Field | Purpose |
|---|---|
nodeId |
Global ID across memory graph |
type |
Node type (event, test, prompt, etc.) |
embedding |
Optional semantic vector |
traceId |
Optional memory chain this belongs to |
createdByAgent |
Which agent authored/generated the node |
sourcePath |
Optional file or repo origin |
tags[] |
Semantic tags for filtering |
lastUsedAt |
Recency metadata for optimization and pruning |
โ Summary¶
In this section, we established:
- Nodes are semantically unique artifacts, memory-bound or physical
- Edges express directional, typed relationships between them
- Embeddings provide semantic reasoning across nodes
- Together, this forms a semantic, memory-aware, traceable graph that powers ConnectSoftโs AI Factory

๐งช Edge Creation Methods¶
- ๐ Automatically during generation (e.g.,
test โ blueprint) - ๐ค Inferred by agent (e.g.,
prompt โ blueprint) - ๐ Manually annotated or enriched during review
- ๐งฌ Learned from usage (e.g.,
correlatesWithfrom logs)
โ Summary¶
Edges are the semantic glue of the Knowledge Graph. They:
- Define causality, structure, and behavior relationships
- Enable agents to reason across connected concepts
- Support traceability, validation, and multi-agent collaboration
๐งญ Graph Navigation by Agents¶
In ConnectSoftโs AI Software Factory, every intelligent agent relies on the Knowledge Graph to:
- ๐ Find related artifacts and context
- ๐ง Recall past generation outcomes or memory entries
- ๐ Plan, validate, and revise workflows
- ๐ฏ Ground prompt execution in traceable inputs
Agents donโt operate in isolation โ they traverse semantic, causal, and usage-based paths in the graph.
๐ฆ Agent Navigation Modes¶
| Mode | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
direct lookup |
Resolve a node by ID or label | Get blueprint:NotifyUser |
semantic search |
Use embeddings to find similar nodes | โFind similar spans to user.registerโ |
type-scope traversal |
Traverse specific edge types across nodes | Blueprint โ emits โ Event โ handledBy โ Component |
trace follow |
Follow a traceId path |
Reconstruct memory of UserRegistration |
backtrack |
Navigate reverse edges | Find all prompts that generated this component |
subgraph extraction |
Select all related nodes within a project or flow | โAll nodes connected to Feature: InviteUserโ |
filter by tags |
Select nodes by semantic tags | Find all prompt nodes tagged frontend and accessibility |
๐งญ Example: Multi-Hop Traversal by QA Agent¶

EV[Event: PasswordResetRequested]
SP[Span: user.reset-password]
TS[Test: ResetPassword.feature]
BP -->|emits| EV
EV -->|validatedBy| SP
BP -->|coveredBy| TS
The QA Agent traverses:
- From
Blueprint - To
Testto confirm coverage - To
Spanto confirm telemetry - To
Eventto validate emission
๐ง Agent Navigation Skills¶
Agents use specialized skills to interact with the graph:
| Skill Name | Purpose |
|---|---|
GraphNodeSearchSkill |
Finds nodes by ID, label, type |
GraphSemanticQuerySkill |
Embedding-based similarity search |
GraphTraceReconstructionSkill |
Rebuilds memory flows by traceId |
GraphEdgeExplorerSkill |
Retrieves neighbors by edge type and direction |
GraphValidationSkill |
Detects missing or conflicting links |
GraphPathPlannerSkill |
Finds optimal traversal between concepts |
๐งฉ Use Case Examples¶
| Agent | Graph Navigation |
|---|---|
| Vision Architect | Starts at vision โ finds blueprints โ validates against existing dsl |
| Dev Agent | From blueprint โ model + component + event + span |
| Observability Agent | Finds all span โ metric โ dashboard connected to a component |
| Feedback Agent | Finds all usages and confidence scores linked to a prompt |

๐ฆ Subgraph Templates¶
Some agents operate on standard graph substructures, such as:
- Feature execution graph:
BlueprintโEventโSpanโTest - Microservice node:
Component+Model+Event+Span+HealthCheck - Prompt flow graph:
PromptโSkillโBlueprintโComponent
These subgraphs can be retrieved, validated, and enriched.
๐ง Memory-Aware Navigation¶
If nodes are missing, agents use graph traversal + semantic similarity to:
- Suggest likely missing connections
- Create synthetic edges (e.g., inferred
coveredBy) - Offer suggestions for validation or regeneration
โ Summary¶
Agents traverse the graph to:
- ๐งญ Understand full execution context
- ๐ Reuse or evolve existing artifacts
- ๐ Trace paths from vision to release
- ๐ค Trigger downstream actions based on semantic links
๐ Retrieval Patterns from Graph¶
In ConnectSoft's AI Software Factory, agents donโt just traverse the graph blindly โ they use standardized retrieval strategies to extract relevant knowledge with:
- ๐ง High precision (for grounding prompts)
- ๐ Repeatability (for planning and orchestration)
- ๐ Observability (for audit, validation, and metrics)
These patterns optimize performance and ensure semantic, structural, and temporal alignment across AI workflows.
๐ Categories of Retrieval Patterns¶
| Pattern Type | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Direct | Exact-match lookup by ID or label |
| Semantic | Vector-based similarity search |
| Relational | Traversal by edge types (graph walk) |
| Causal | Follow trace chains across memory |
| Scoped | Limit by project/session/global |
| Temporal | Fetch by creation time, usage recency |
| Filtered | Query by tag, source agent, or file type |
๐ 1. Direct Lookup¶
Use: Retrieve a known node by ID or type.
Used by: Coordinators, Orchestrators, Validators
๐ฎ 2. Semantic Similarity Search¶
Use: Find nodes related in meaning to a query (via embeddings).
Query: โhandle payment failureโ
โ Returns: `Event: PaymentDeclined`, `Span: payment.retry`, `Alert: queue.dead-letter`
Used by: Prompt Agents, Refinement Agents, Memory Agents
๐ 3. Edge-Based Traversal (Relational)¶
Use: Navigate nodes by edge relationships.
From: Blueprint: NotifyUser
โ emits โ Event: UserNotified
โ validatedBy โ Span: notification.sent
โ coveredBy โ Test: NotificationFlow.feature

โฑ๏ธ 6. Time-Based Queries¶
Use: Fetch recent, stale, or expired knowledge.
Used by: Feedback agents, Memory pruning, Change detectors
๐ท๏ธ 7. Tag-Based or Property-Based Filters¶
Use: Select knowledge using structured metadata.
Used by: UI Composition Agents, Code Auditors, Regulators
๐งช Sample Combined Query¶
โGive me all Blueprints in the
notificationsmodule that were validated by a Span, covered by a Test, and used in the last 7 days.โ
This query combines:
- Type filtering:
blueprint - Edge traversal:
validates,coveredBy - Time constraint:
lastUsedAt > now() - 7d - Domain tags:
module:notifications
๐ฆ Agent API Support¶
These patterns are exposed via:
GraphQuerySkillGraphSemanticSearchSkillGraphSubgraphExtractorSkillGraphTraceExplorerSkill
Agents use skills + embedding APIs + vector store access to perform composite queries.
โ Summary¶
Retrieval patterns give agents powerful ways to:
- ๐ Access the right knowledge in the right scope
- ๐ง Enable semantic generalization and reuse
- ๐ Ensure traceability and lifecycle alignment
- ๐ Maintain security and isolation across tenants/projects
๐ธ๏ธ Example Subgraph: โUser Registeredโ¶
Letโs walk through a real-world subgraph that models the flow and memory chain for the โUser Registeredโ feature.
This example demonstrates how a simple feature becomes a rich, traceable graph spanning:

๐ง Embedded Knowledge¶
Each node in the graph:
- Has an
embedding(semantic vector) for similarity queries - Is linked to its
traceId: trace-user-registration - Includes metadata like
createdByAgent,sourcePath,lastUsedAt,confidence
๐งฉ Subgraph Utility for Agents¶
| Agent | Use of Subgraph |
|---|---|
| Code Generator | Re-generates UserService if blueprint is updated |
| QA Agent | Traces test โ span โ event to ensure runtime alignment |
| Observability Agent | Validates that span is linked to a dashboard and alert |
| Documentation Writer | Pulls blueprint, event, test, and span into wiki |
| Feedback Agent | Updates confidence scores on prompt โ blueprint path |
๐ Real-Time Update Flow¶
If a prompt is improved or blueprint evolves:
- Regenerates affected nodes (
test,component,event) - Triggers graph edge rewrite
- Updates semantic embeddings
- Pushes downstream changes via event bus to all subscribed agents
โ Summary¶
This subgraph demonstrates how a single user feature becomes:
- ๐ง A semantically indexed knowledge bundle
- ๐ธ๏ธ A traceable chain of execution and validation
- ๐ A reactive, update-aware system of memory
๐ Real-Time Graph Updates¶
In the ConnectSoft AI Software Factory, the Knowledge Graph is not a static database โ itโs a living memory network that evolves as agents operate.
Every new:
- ๐ Prompt
- ๐ง Memory
- ๐งช Test
- ๐ฆ Component
- ๐ Span or Metric
...can modify the graph in real time, triggering downstream updates, rewrites, or revalidations.
๐ Real-Time Update Triggers¶
| Trigger Type | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
memory.created |
New semantic node or embedding | Generated new feature blueprint |
memory.updated |
Existing node rewritten or reclassified | Blueprint changed โ revalidate test |
artifact.generated |
New code, test, span, or event emitted | Agent emits new Event: UserActivated |
feedback.received |
Signal triggers change in edge or confidence | User rejects a generated component |
agent.heartbeat |
Periodic check for graph pruning or inference | Cleanup unused spans after 30 days |

๐ ๏ธ Agent Collaboration on Updates¶
Agents may publish:
| Event | Purpose |
|---|---|
GraphNodeCreated |
New semantic unit added |
GraphEdgeUpdated |
A relationship changed |
TraceCompleted |
A full causal chain formed |
GraphNodeDeprecated |
Old or stale node marked inactive |
GraphMemoryInferred |
New relationship inferred by AI |
Subscribed agents (e.g., validators, orchestrators, documentation writers) respond in real-time.
๐ Example Update Chain¶
Agent: ProductManagerAgent
โ Creates `blueprint: ReferralProgram`
โ Triggers:
- `component: ReferralService`
- `event: UserReferred`
- `test: Referral.feature`
- `dashboard: ReferralMetrics`
โ Updates:
- New edges (`emits`, `coveredBy`, `visualizedBy`)
- Semantic embeddings
- Trace ID: `trace-referral-program`
๐ Governance and Constraints¶
- TTL-based pruning (e.g., memory expires after 90 days if unused)
- Access policies enforced on sensitive nodes (e.g., security tests)
- Version control optionally tracks node changes over time
๐ง Auto-Healing and Edge Rewriting¶
The Graph Updater may:
- Auto-repair broken
implementsorvalidateslinks - Reweight outdated nodes
- Flag low-confidence prompts for regeneration
โ Summary¶
Real-time updates allow the Knowledge Graph to:
- ๐ฑ Grow organically with agent operations
- ๐ Evolve from feedback and memory changes
- ๐ค Trigger collaboration and regeneration
- ๐ธ๏ธ Maintain full traceability across AI software workflows
๐ Graph and Index Synchronization¶
In the ConnectSoft AI Software Factory, indexes and the knowledge graph must remain tightly synchronized to ensure:
- ๐ง Semantic consistency across memory stores
- ๐ Accurate, up-to-date retrieval for all agents
- ๐ Traceability from raw data to high-level knowledge
- ๐ Real-time updates between code, templates, docs, and memory
Think of the indexes as views and fast access tables, while the graph acts as the relational, semantic brain.
๐งฉ What Are Knowledge Indexes?¶
Each index-* file describes and stores nodes, their metadata, and some partial edges.
Examples include:
| Index Name | Description |
|---|---|
index-libraries |
Maps NuGet/library definitions, use cases, and samples |
index-templates |
Lists available templates, usage, and context |
index-prompts |
Describes prompt templates, inputs, outputs |
index-dsl |
DSL definitions, node types, and usage examples |
index-tests |
Test coverage maps and BDD-to-blueprint links |
index-metrics |
Aggregated SLOs, alerts, dashboards, spans |
index-codebase |
Summarized component and model-level architecture |
index-memory-graphs |
Trace chains and embedded memory relationships |
index-project-structure |
Repositories, solutions, pipelines, folder maps |

index-docs |
doc, documents, linkedTo, createdByAgent edges |
๐ Graph-to-Index Feedback¶
The graph may also emit updates back to indexes:
| Trigger | Index Affected | Description |
|---|---|---|
| New prompt used in test | index-prompts |
Update prompt usage stats |
| Agent rewrites event span | index-observability |
Refresh validatedBy edge |
| Blueprint links added to docs | index-docs |
Insert new documents edge |
โ This allows indexes to be partially materialized views of the core evolving graph.
๐ง Agent Roles in Sync¶
| Agent | Role |
|---|---|
| Indexer Agent | Periodically ingests from filesystem, repos, CI |
| Graph Updater Agent | Rebuilds edges, resolves trace IDs, inserts into core graph |
| Semantic Embedding Agent | Computes vector embeddings and updates vector DB |
| Feedback Loop Agent | Adjusts confidence, validity, usage metrics in graph/index |
๐ง Change Detection and Delta Update¶
Graph synchronization tools support:
- Hash-based file diffing
- Git history scans (for index drift detection)
- Trace consistency checks (for orphaned nodes)
- Auto-suggestions for index patching
๐งฉ Sample Use Case¶
A .feature file is added for User Login:
index-testsupdates with test node- Graph adds
validates โ blueprint-user-login span-user.logininferred from coverage and addeddashboard-auth-metricslinked by embedding similarityindex-observabilityupdated automatically
โ Summary¶
GraphโIndex Synchronization ensures that:
- ๐ Raw data โ semantic structure โ traceable memory
- ๐ง Index files remain fresh and usable across projects
- ๐ Agents can reason over all relevant knowledge
- ๐ค Real-time edits propagate to memory, prompts, and tests
๐ค Agent-Specific Graph Views¶
In ConnectSoftโs AI Software Factory, the full knowledge graph is too large and complex to be consumed as-is by every agent.
Instead, agents operate on scoped, filtered, or role-specific views of the graph that match:
- Their functional responsibilities
- Required input/output types
- Trust and access boundaries
- Performance and memory constraints
Agent views are like lenses over the graph โ focused, filtered, and fit-for-purpose.
๐งญ Types of Graph Views¶
| View Type | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Role-Based View | Limited by the agentโs job | QA Agent sees test, span, assertion |
| Scope-Limited View | Limited to a project/session | Dev Agent views only the current repoโs graph |
| Type-Limited View | Operates on a subset of node types | Prompt Agent only sees prompt, skill, feedback |
| Semantic-Filtered View | Limited by tags or embedding clusters | UX Agent sees all nodes tagged accessibility |
| Trust-Based View | Scoped by permission | Security Agent can see alert, health-check, audit-log nodes only |

G --> F
F --> V
V --> A
- Filters are defined declaratively or dynamically per agent
- Views are built and cached based on usage or prompt execution
- Some agents (e.g. Coordinators) have multi-agent merged views
๐ง Sample View: QA Agent¶
| Included Node Types | Edge Types Followed | Exclusions |
|---|---|---|
blueprint, test, span, assertion, metric |
validates, tracedTo, coveredBy, correlatesWith |
No prompts, skills, or DSL nodes |
Used for: test validation, trace coverage, runtime alignment
๐ Sample View: Security Agent¶
| Included Node Types | Edge Types Followed |
|---|---|
blueprint, alert, audit-log, span, policy, health-check |
emits, correlatesWith, documents, violates, dependsOn |
Used for: vulnerability triage, compliance checks, policy inference
๐งฉ View Personalization Features¶
- ๐ง Embedding filters: show only nearest N results to a node or concept
- ๐๏ธ Tag filters: view nodes tagged with
frontend,mobile,core-domain - ๐ Trace filters: view only one
traceId-scoped graph - ๐ Agent-local memory: augment graph with in-memory nodes not yet persisted
โ๏ธ How Views Are Used¶
| Purpose | Agent Use |
|---|---|
| Prompt grounding | Load nearby blueprint โ model โ test nodes |
| Skill selection | Filter for matching resolves edges |
| Validation paths | Follow only validates, tracedTo, emits edges |
| Graph scoring | Identify gaps, inconsistencies, or low-confidence nodes |
| Report generation | Visualize a filtered graph (e.g., SLO trace, BDD coverage) |
๐ View Refreshing and Invalidation¶
Views are refreshed:
- On agent startup
- After a graph update event (e.g.,
GraphNodeCreated) - When usage patterns shift (e.g., semantic similarity moves)
View consistency is guaranteed using a versioned graph snapshot hash.
โ Summary¶
Agent-specific views enable:
- ๐ Focused memory reasoning
- ๐ Secure, role-aware knowledge access
- โก Faster agent performance
- ๐ง Aligned prompt augmentation and traceability
๐ Memory Traces as Dynamic Graph Edges¶
In the ConnectSoft Knowledge Graph, a memory trace is a temporal and semantic chain of nodes that represent:
- A generation journey
- A reasoning session
- A user interaction episode
- A pipeline execution
- A feedback lifecycle
Each trace forms a dynamic subgraph โ a linked path across nodes involved in a task or decision process.
๐ง Why Use Traces?¶
Traces help the system:
- ๐งญ Reconstruct agent decision-making steps
- ๐ Replay generation or failures for debugging
- ๐ Visualize feature-to-telemetry-to-test coverage
- ๐ Synchronize prompt โ code โ test โ span lifecycles
- ๐งช Enable observability and backpropagation from outcomes
๐ How Traces Are Formed¶
Traces are automatically assigned by orchestration agents or semantic workflows using:
| Mechanism | Source |
|---|---|
traceId propagation |
Across prompt executions, generations, tests |
sessionId mapping |
From user or agent conversation context |
event-bus correlation |
From emitted/handled events with shared metadata |
graph hook binding |
When nodes share a causal generation path |
๐ Example: Trace trace-user-registration¶
| Node | Relationship |
|---|---|
prompt: Create User Flow |
Seed prompt |
blueprint-user-registration |
Generated from prompt |
model-RegisterUserCommand |
Used in blueprint |
event-UserRegistered |
Emitted by service |
span-user.register |
Captured by telemetry |
test-UserRegistration.feature |
Validates blueprint and runtime |
dashboard-user-activity |
Visualizes related span |
All nodes share:
traceId: trace-user-registration
๐งญ Trace Edge Type¶
Internally, all trace-based node connections are rendered as:
{
"type": "tracedTo",
"traceId": "trace-abc",
"confidence": 1.0,
"createdByAgent": "OrchestratorAgent"
}
These are soft edges, dynamically recomputed if trace membership evolves.
๐งช Use Cases for Traces¶
| Use Case | Description |
|---|---|
| Debug generation issues | Walk the chain of memory and outputs |
| Validate coverage | Find gaps in test โ span โ blueprint links |
| Summarize flows | Collapse trace into a Markdown artifact or wiki page |
| Re-run flow | Re-trigger blueprint โ model โ test sequence |
| De-duplicate memory | Collapse near-duplicate traces across projects |
๐ Dynamic Nature¶
Traces are updated:
- When new nodes attach to existing traceId
- When agents add missing nodes or inferred links
- When feedback suggests alternate edge directionality
- When subgraph re-clustering reassigns trace membership
๐ Visual Example (Mermaid)¶

This path is what agents reason over when validating or regenerating a feature.
๐ง Memory vs Graph¶
| Memory | Graph |
|---|---|
| Raw, semantically embedded objects | Structured, typed, linked topology |
| Stored in vector DB | Stored in graph DB |
| Used for similarity | Used for reasoning |
| Indexed by content | Indexed by ID/type/edges |
Traces link memory and graph โ semantically and causally.
โ Summary¶
Memory traces:
- ๐ Connect temporally related nodes
- ๐ Power reasoning, coverage, observability
- โป๏ธ Allow replays and root cause analysis
- ๐ง Form the dynamic backbone of graph-driven automation
๐ท๏ธ Semantic Tagging and Ontologies in the Graph¶
As the ConnectSoft Knowledge Graph grows across thousands of features, templates, and memory traces, we need semantic organization mechanisms to support:
- ๐ Intelligent filtering
- ๐ง Knowledge clustering and routing
- ๐ค Agent-specific view generation
- ๐๏ธ Cross-domain knowledge reuse
- ๐ฆ Multi-tenant and product-line segregation
Semantic tags and ontological classification enable reasoning at scale across diverse software components.
๐ท๏ธ Tagging in the Graph¶
โ Tags Are Simple Key/Value Labels¶
Tags are assigned to nodes (and sometimes edges) as:
tags:
- domain:authentication
- layer:application
- purpose:validation
- language:csharp
- interface:rest
- capability:multi-tenant
๐ Applied During:¶
- Generation (agent auto-tags blueprint, model, span, etc.)
- Index parsing (
index-tests,index-codebase, etc.) - Human enrichment (feedback, prompt injection)
- Ontology inference (from DSL, path, repo)
๐ง Sample Tag Classes¶
| Class | Example Tags |
|---|---|
domain |
authentication, notifications, invoicing, ai-agent-orchestration |
layer |
frontend, backend, infrastructure, observability, orchestration |
technology |
csharp, typescript, blazor, grpc, openapi, nhibernate |
functionality |
email-verification, audit-logging, file-upload, token-expiry |
compliance |
gdpr, hipaa, iso27001 |
ownership |
agent:product-manager, agent:observability-engineer |
project |
template:auth-server, repo:user-service, epic:epic-01234 |
๐งฉ Example: Tagged Node¶
nodeId: blueprint-user-registration
type: blueprint
tags:
- domain:authentication
- layer:application
- functionality:user-onboarding
- agent:product-manager
Agents can now:
- Retrieve all
blueprintsrelated touser-onboarding - Filter prompts for
product-manageragents only - Traverse the
applicationlayer exclusively
๐งฌ Ontologies and Inference Rules¶
Tags evolve into ontological classes and relationships. For example:
| Ontology Term | Description |
|---|---|
is-a |
Blueprint is-a onboarding-feature |
part-of |
span-user.register part-of user-registration-flow |
requires |
2fa-login requires email-verification |
relates-to |
accessibility-check relates-to component:ButtonPrimary |
enables |
agent-UX-designer enables a11y-improvements |
Ontologies are often inferred using DSL structures and prompt context.
๐ Ontology Registry¶
A shared internal dictionary defines canonical terms and hierarchies:
- domain:
- authentication:
- login
- 2fa
- oauth
- notifications:
- email
- sms
- push
- functionality:
- user-onboarding:
- invite
- register
- confirm
Agents can register, suggest, or subscribe to ontology segments.
๐ง Use Cases for Tags and Ontologies¶
| Use Case | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Prompt Augmentation | Filter only relevant prompts per domain or agent |
| Graph Traversal | Traverse only nodes tagged layer:observability |
| Index Scoping | Limit to project:auth-server nodes |
| Multi-Agent Dispatching | Trigger agent:security-engineer if tag compliance:gdpr exists |
| Trace Aggregation | Group traces under capability:multi-tenant or functionality:user-onboarding |
๐ง Graph View Enhanced by Tags¶
Views described in Cycle 10 rely heavily on tags to:
- Build slices per project
- Compose agent-specific filters
- Drive UI-based filtering and report generation
โ Summary¶
Semantic tags and ontologies provide:
- ๐ง Structured meaning across knowledge artifacts
- ๐ค Automation in agent dispatching and view generation
- ๐ธ๏ธ Enhanced filtering, tracing, and aggregation
- ๐งฉ Scalable categorization for multi-domain SaaS generation
๐ง Graph-Powered Prompt Enrichment¶
The quality of generated code, DSL, tests, and documentation depends directly on the context fed into each agentโs prompt.
The Knowledge Graph acts as a context amplifier, supplying:
- ๐ Prior artifacts (blueprints, models, tests)
- ๐งฉ Domain-specific instructions
- ๐ Trace-based history
- ๐ง Semantically related nodes
- ๐ Tags, examples, and DSL references
Enrichment enables prompts to be grounded, consistent, and relevant โ essential for deterministic, high-quality output.
๐ง Prompt Enrichment Sources¶
| Source | Description |
|---|---|
| Graph neighborhood | Traverses nearby blueprint, model, span, etc. |
| Semantic similarity | Finds close prompt, component, test via embeddings |
| Trace history | Recalls earlier nodes in the current flow |
| Tags | Injects domain/layer-specific modifiers (e.g., layer:frontend) |
| Ontology | Infers broader context (e.g., 2fa implies email-verification) |
| Feedback metadata | Adapts based on what worked previously (confidence, rating) |
๐ Prompt Enrichment Example¶
Prompt Template:
Generate a new feature for user onboarding.
The output should include a blueprint, model, and test.
Use domain tags: {{ domain_tags }}
Reference past blueprints: {{ related_blueprints }}
Follow compliance constraints: {{ security_tags }}
Graph Enrichment Result:
{
"domain_tags": ["domain:authentication", "functionality:user-onboarding"],
"related_blueprints": [
"blueprint-user-registration",
"blueprint-email-verification"
],
"security_tags": ["compliance:gdpr", "capability:multi-tenant"]
}
๐ Graph Enrichment Pipeline¶

P[PromptRequest]
G[Graph Context Engine]
N[Nearby Nodes]
T[Tags & Ontology]
E[Enriched Prompt]
P --> G
G --> N
G --> T
N --> E
T --> E
Steps:
- GraphContextEngine receives the prompt request
- It loads:
- Semantic neighbors
- Prior trace chain (if present)
- Tags + ontological mappings
- Merges context into prompt template
- Passes enriched prompt to Semantic Kernel planner or agent skill
๐งช Skill Injection via Graph¶
Some prompts refer to reusable skills or injected fragments that are:
- Stored as prompt nodes in the graph
- Tagged by
resolves โblueprint types - Selected by graph traversal + scoring
The graph becomes a function registry, allowing agents to "compose" prompts dynamically from reusable, validated units.
๐ง Example Agent Flow¶
UX Designer Agent
- Receives prompt: โImprove accessibility for mobile onboardingโ
- Graph lookup:
- Finds
component:ButtonPrimary,span:user.tab-navigate - Tags:
layer:frontend,accessibility,mobile
- Finds
- Injects:
- Prior blueprint:
blueprint-mobile-registration - Feedback: "screen reader issue" (score: low)
- Prior blueprint:
- Resulting enriched prompt triggers regeneration of more accessible button blueprint and BDD test
๐ Multi-Agent Prompt Sharing¶
Generated prompt fragments can be:
- Published back to graph as
promptnodes - Shared across agents via trace linkage or skill references
- Tagged with
agent-intent,resolves,generatedFromfor reuse
โ Summary¶
Graph-powered enrichment ensures that:
- ๐ Prompts reflect real system state and past learnings
- ๐ Reuse of successful context improves generation quality
- ๐ Knowledge is shared across agents, roles, and iterations
- ๐ง Enrichment is dynamic, traceable, and context-sensitive
๐ Graph Feedback Loops and Confidence Scoring¶
In the ConnectSoft AI Software Factory, agents and users constantly evaluate:
- โ Prompt quality
- ๐งช Test effectiveness
- ๐ง Blueprint usefulness
- ๐ Generated artifacts
These evaluations must feed back into the graph to:
- Improve future generations
- Prioritize or prune memory
- Influence routing and prompt enrichment
- Trigger agent interventions
Feedback transforms the graph from a static memory to a self-improving intelligence core.
๐ Feedback Loop Mechanisms¶
| Source | Feedback Type | Targets |
|---|---|---|
| Agent self-check | Code/test/prompt confidence | Nodes/edges it created |
| Agent-to-agent | Validation or review outcomes | Peer agent outputs |
| Human-in-the-loop | Ratings, thumbs up/down | Prompts, docs, UX |
| Observability | Runtime errors, SLO violations | Spans, events, blueprints |
| Test coverage | Pass/fail, edge case hits | Tests, spans, events |
๐ Confidence Model¶
Each node and edge in the graph includes:
{
"confidence": 0.92,
"lastEvaluatedBy": "QAEngineerAgent",
"evaluationType": "unit-tests+trace-alignment",
"feedback": [
{ "source": "agent-qa", "score": 1.0 },
{ "source": "feedback-loop", "score": 0.85 },
{ "source": "user", "score": 0.5 }
]
}
- Confidence is a weighted average
- Feedback history is retained for explainability
- Source attribution enables traceable learning
๐ง Example Flow¶
ProductManagerAgentgenerates blueprint forUser InviteCodeGeneratorAgentuses it โ generates codeQAAgentvalidates โ finds span missing- Confidence drops to
0.6and edgeblueprint โ spanmarkedmissing PromptRegenerationAgenttriggered via feedback rule- Blueprint enriched, span added, feedback loop closed
๐ Graph Edge Feedback¶
Edges also evolve via feedback:
| Edge Type | Feedback | Result |
|---|---|---|
validates |
Test missing span | Edge dropped or marked low confidence |
generatedFrom |
Prompt not reproducible | Confidence score adjusted |
resolves |
Promptโskill mismatch | Ontology tag updated |
๐ Triggered Events from Feedback¶
| Event | Purpose |
|---|---|
GraphConfidenceDropped |
Signal downstream agents to revalidate |
GraphEdgeConflict |
Multiple conflicting relationships exist |
GraphNodeFlaggedForReview |
Human moderation or approval required |
PromptRetrainSuggested |
Agent prompt needs reinforcement or rewrite |

|---|---|
| Regenerate underperforming prompts | Improve template quality |
| Flag weak tests | Trigger test reinforcement |
| Reward high-confidence outputs | Promote reuse in prompt composition |
| Auto-suggest missing spans/events | Close trace gaps |
๐ง Feedback Propagation¶
A feedback change can:
- Affect multiple connected nodes (e.g., all
generatedFromthe same prompt) - Influence future prompt enrichment
- Trigger a new trace chain via
FeedbackImprovementTrace
โ Summary¶
Graph feedback loops power:
- ๐ง Self-correcting agents
- ๐ Closed-loop generation improvement
- ๐ Confidence-aware decision-making
- ๐ Traceable scoring with source context
๐ค Multi-Agent Coordination Through the Graph¶
In the ConnectSoft AI Software Factory, dozens of autonomous agents must:
- Collaborate without hardcoded flows
- Share knowledge and trace context
- React to each otherโs outputs
- Plan multi-step transformations
The Knowledge Graph becomes a coordination substrate, enabling declarative collaboration through:
- Shared memory
- Trace-linked dependencies
- Edge-based triggers
- Tag- and ontology-based routing
The graph is the shared workspace that agents use to talk, delegate, trace, and evolve.
๐ง Agent Interaction via Graph¶
| Mechanism | Purpose | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Trace Continuation | Agent picks up where another left off | CodeAgent โ TestAgent โ PerfAgent |
| Tag Dispatching | Agents subscribe to nodes by tag | tag:accessibility triggers UXAgent |
| Graph Event Hooks | Agent acts on node creation/update | GraphNodeCreated โ regenerate docs |
| Validation Loops | Agent validates/extends anotherโs output | QAAgent validates CodeAgent output |
| Conflict Resolution | Two agents propose competing edges โ resolved by CoordinatorAgent |
๐ Example Flow: Feature Launch¶
1. ProductManagerAgent โ blueprint: ReferralProgram
2. CodeAgent โ model, service class, event
3. QAAgent โ test coverage
4. ObservabilityAgent โ span, dashboard
5. ReleaseAgent โ connects deployment pipeline
Each step emits graph nodes and edges like:
generatedFromvalidatescoveredByemitsdocuments
โฆ which other agents watch for and respond to.
๐ Coordination via Shared Trace¶
traceId: trace-referral-program
agents:
- ProductManagerAgent
- CodeAgent
- QAAgent
- ObservabilityAgent
This shared trace becomes:
- ๐ง A reasoning context
- ๐งฉ A scope for prompt enrichment
- ๐ A closure loop for validation, testing, and release
๐งฉ Graph-Centric Routing Logic¶
Declarative routing by agents:¶
triggers:
- onNodeCreated:
type: blueprint
tags: [domain:referrals]
then: CodeGeneratorAgent
- onNodeValidated:
type: span
then: ObservabilityAgent
Runtime graph engine uses:¶
- Tags
- Ontology
- Confidence level
- Missing edges
- Agent history
To dispatch and queue agents dynamically โ no static pipeline needed.
๐ค Agent Graph Skills Used¶
| Skill | Purpose |
|---|---|
GraphEventSubscriberSkill |
Subscribe to graph events like node created or updated |
GraphRoleAssignerSkill |
Assign agent roles per node type or tag |
GraphDependencyScannerSkill |
Detect unfulfilled edges (e.g., test โ span missing) |
GraphTraceStitcherSkill |
Combine multiple agents into a single causal trace |
๐ Agent Orchestration Metrics¶
The graph allows the system to answer:
- Which agent worked on which trace?
- Whatโs the confidence level of the full trace?
- Are there conflicting edges or node types?
- Who last updated a node or edge?
- Whatโs the audit trail across agents for a feature?
This enables trustable, auditable, and observable agent-based collaboration.
๐ Role-Based Edge Ownership¶
Each edge can record its creator agent:
edge:
type: validates
from: test-registration.feature
to: span-user.register
createdBy: QAAgent
confidence: 0.91
Other agents (like GraphAuditorAgent) can verify edge consistency or enforce rules like:
- A
testmust be validated by at least onespan - A
promptmust not emit conflicting blueprints - Only
CoordinatorAgentcan resolve disputedimplementsedges
โ Summary¶
The Knowledge Graph enables:
- ๐ง Decentralized, trace-based coordination
- ๐งฉ Role-based participation across agents
- ๐ Feedback-driven refinement and conflict resolution
- ๐ ๏ธ Declarative routing and orchestration without code
๐ Graph Queries, APIs, and Agent Interfaces¶
For autonomous reasoning, validation, enrichment, and collaboration, agents must interact with the Knowledge Graph programmatically.
This requires:
- ๐ก Read access to structured + semantic nodes
- โ๏ธ Write access for creating/updating edges and confidence
- ๐ Query interfaces (structured and vector-based)
- ๐ Role-aware, scoped views and access control
The Graph becomes a runtime knowledge interface for all autonomous reasoning and agent operations.
๐ง Core Graph API Capabilities¶
| Function | Description | |
|---|---|---|
getNode(id) |
Fetch a node by ID | |
findNodesByType(type) |
Get all nodes of a specific kind | |
queryByTag(tag) |
Retrieve nodes tagged with a semantic key | |
| `getEdges(from | to)` | Fetch incoming/outgoing edges |
getTrace(traceId) |
Fetch full causal path | |
| `searchSimilar(embedding | text)` | Vector-based semantic similarity search |
addNode(node) |
Insert new memory or knowledge node | |
addEdge(from, to, type, metadata) |
Link nodes with directed edge | |
| `updateConfidence(node | edge)` | Adjust confidence based on feedback |
deleteNode(id) |
Remove a deprecated or invalid node | |
subscribe(eventType, criteria) |
Register agent to receive future updates |
๐ง Agent Interface Abstractions¶
Each agent uses an abstracted KnowledgeGraphClient or skillset like:
graph.FindBlueprintsByDomain("authentication");
graph.GetTrace("trace-user-onboarding");
graph.SearchSimilar("generate user registration span");
graph.AddEdge("test-UserRegistration.feature", "span-user.register", "validates");
graph.UpdateConfidence("prompt-LoginFlow", 0.8);
The interface abstracts persistence, inference, and vector scoring behind a clean API.
๐ฆ Graph Backend Technologies (Suggested)¶
| Component | Tech Stack |
|---|---|
| Graph Store | Neo4j, Azure Cosmos DB (Gremlin), RedisGraph |
| Vector DB | Azure Cognitive Search, Qdrant, Pinecone, Weaviate |
| Access Layer | REST/GraphQL or gRPC API exposed by GraphService |
| Authorization | Embedded per-agent scopes, token-based identity |
| Change Feed / Events | Azure Event Grid, Kafka, or Redis Streams |
๐งฉ Query Languages¶
Graph supports multiple access modes:
- ๐งพ Structured: REST, GraphQL (
nodes,edges,paths) - ๐ง Semantic:
searchSimilar,findNear("register blueprint") - ๐ Event: subscribe to
"node.created" where type = 'blueprint' - ๐งฎ DSL: internal DSL like:
query:
start: blueprint
filter:
tags: [authentication]
follow:
- emits โ span
- validates โ test
๐ Role-Based Access¶
Each agent or service has a Graph Role, e.g.:
| Role | Can Read | Can Write |
|---|---|---|
UXDesignerAgent |
blueprints, UI spans, prompts | prompts, tests |
ObservabilityAgent |
spans, dashboards | dashboards, alerts |
CoordinatorAgent |
all nodes | all nodes and edges |
QAAgent |
tests, spans, events | tests, validations |
Access is enforced at the API level and optionally at the data layer.
๐ฆ Event Subscriptions¶
Agents can react in real-time via event streams:
subscribe:
- type: node.created
filter:
type: blueprint
tags: [domain:referrals]
- type: confidence.dropped
target: span
These events are streamed via:
- Azure Event Grid
- Redis Streams
- gRPC streaming
- Webhooks (for external plugins)
๐ง Example Usage: Prompt Agent¶
PromptAgentreceives request to generate a span- Calls:
searchSimilar("user registered telemetry")getTrace("trace-user-registration")findTags("layer:observability")
- Composes enriched prompt
- Generates output
- Writes to graph:
addNode("span-user.register")addEdge("blueprint-user-registration", "span-user.register", "emits")
โ Summary¶
The Graph API provides agents with:
- ๐ Fine-grained query access to all knowledge
- ๐ก Realtime event and confidence signals
- โ๏ธ Writeback, feedback, and coordination hooks
- ๐ Secure, role-scoped interaction with system memory
๐งน Graph Confidence Decay and Pruning Strategies¶
As the AI Software Factory continuously generates:
- ๐ง Blueprints
- ๐ค Prompts
- ๐งช Tests
- ๐ Spans
- ๐ Docs
โฆ the Knowledge Graph rapidly expands.
Without pruning and decay, the graph may:
- ๐ข Slow down lookups and routing
- ๐งฏ Surface outdated or invalid nodes
- ๐ Interfere with prompt enrichment via stale context
- โ Lead to inaccurate inferences or decisions
Decay and pruning are essential for maintaining precision, performance, and trustworthiness.
๐ Confidence Decay Model¶
All nodes and edges in the graph have a confidence score (see Cycle 14).
This score can decay over time if:
- The node isnโt referenced or used
- Newer, higher-confidence alternatives emerge
- Related traces are deprecated
- Observability shows weak performance or errors
๐ Time-Based Decay Function (Example)¶
decay:
initial_confidence: 0.95
half_life_days: 30
decay_function: exponential
usage_boost: +0.05 per confirmed reuse
๐ Dynamic Confidence Adjustments¶
| Trigger | Effect |
|---|---|
| Node unused for 60+ days | Confidence drops by 20โ40% |
| Test fails repeatedly | Related blueprint confidence drops |
| Node reused by prompt/test | Confidence boosted |
| Human/agent feedback (downvote) | Score penalty |
| Related trace deprecated | Downstream decay |
๐งน Pruning Criteria¶
| Condition | Action |
|---|---|
| Confidence < 0.3 and unused | Delete node/edge |
| Conflicts with newer, higher-confidence node | Replace and log change |
| Expired TTL + no incoming edges | Garbage collect |
| Feedback flagged for removal | Queue for approval or auto-prune |
| Deprecated project/tag | Archive subtree and remove from active views |
๐๏ธ Node Metadata for Pruning¶
Each node/edge stores:
lastUsed: 2025-04-01
timesUsed: 3
lastConfidenceUpdate: 2025-05-10
createdBy: Agent:ProductManagerAgent
confidence: 0.42
ttl: 90d
These values power cleanup heuristics and auditability.
๐ Visualizing Decay (Optional)¶

B[Test: LoginV1]
C[Span: user.login]
D[Prompt: login-template]
A --> B --> C --> D
classDef lowConfidence fill:#fdd,stroke:#c00;
class A,B,C,D lowConfidence;
All nodes marked for pruning due to < 0.3 confidence, 90d inactivity.
๐ง Pruning Agent & Strategy¶
Agent: GraphJanitorAgent
Responsibilities:
- Sweep low-confidence, low-usage nodes
- Archive deprecated content
- Emit
GraphNodePrunedevents - Resolve orphaned edges
- Optionally trigger agent reruns (regeneration)
๐ ๏ธ Archive vs Delete¶
| Operation | Use When | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Archive | May be reused historically | Moved to archive/ namespace, hidden from enrichment |
| Delete | Obsolete, broken, unsafe | Permanently removed, backup retained |
| Mark as Legacy | Still needed for reference, but not active | Tagged status:legacy, filtered from suggestions |
โ Summary¶
Confidence decay and pruning:
- โป๏ธ Keep the graph clean, fast, and relevant
- ๐ง Reduce prompt noise from stale nodes
- ๐งช Improve quality of suggestions and routing
- ๐ Ensure knowledge evolves with real-world feedback
๐ข Multi-Tenant and Environment-Aware Graph Partitioning¶
In the ConnectSoft AI Software Factory, the graph powers:
- ๐งฑ Product generation across domains
- ๐ญ Multiple tenants and clients
- ๐งช Development, test, and production environments
- ๐ง Shared global memory + tenant-specific knowledge
To avoid leakage, noise, and conflicts, the graph must support strong logical partitioning.
The Knowledge Graph behaves like a multi-tenant, multi-environment database, with shared + isolated memory zones.
๐งฉ Partitioning Dimensions¶
| Dimension | Examples | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Tenant | connectsoft.io, client123, internal |
Isolate by company or subscription |
| Environment | dev, test, prod, qa, preview |
Separate volatile vs production memory |
| Product Line | booker-v3, ai-factory, scheduling-core |
Avoid template/prompt collision |
| Project | repo:auth-server, template:api-gateway |
Scope local trace or index context |
| Agent Cluster | vision, engineering, qa, infra |
Limit collaboration zones |
| Confidentiality | public, internal, restricted, regulated |
Privacy boundaries for storage and enrichment |
๐ง Partition Tags and Metadata¶
Each node/edge includes metadata like:
tenant: connectsoft.io
environment: dev
product: ai-factory
project: user-service
confidentiality: internal
This metadata is used for query scoping, routing, view filtering, and enrichment constraints.
๐ Global vs Scoped Memory¶
| Type | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Global | Shared prompts, DSLs, libraries | prompt-generate-domain-model, dsl-actor-handler |
| Scoped | Project- or tenant-local blueprints, spans | blueprint-email-verification (in booker-v3) |
| Hybrid | Base prompt + scoped trace input | Combine template:multi-tenant-auth + client-specific-dsl |
๐ Partition Isolation Policies¶
| Mode | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Hard Isolation | Tenants cannot read/write across boundaries |
| Soft Isolation | Cross-tenant nodes allowed via shared: tags |
| Environment Cascade | Test nodes copied to prod if confidence > threshold |
| Read-Only Mirrors | Dev environments mirror stable prompts from prod |
| Redaction/Anonymization | Sensitive data is scrubbed when copied to lower environments |
๐ ๏ธ Agent Awareness of Partitions¶
Agents receive scope metadata at runtime:
They then:
- Query within this scope
- Filter graph updates accordingly
- Emit traceId that includes tenant/environment suffix
- Register feedback separately per environment
๐งฌ Partitioned Trace Example¶
traceId: trace-user-registration:connectsoft.io:dev
nodes:
- blueprint-user-registration
- model-RegisterUserCommand
- span-user.register
- test-UserRegister.feature
Nodes are visible only in this environment and tenant context, unless explicitly promoted.
๐ Promotion & Demotion Paths¶

๐งฌ Graph-Powered DSL Discovery and Navigation¶
In the AI Software Factory, Domain-Specific Languages (DSLs) are the building blocks behind:
- ๐งฉ Templates
- ๐งช Tests
- ๐ Orchestration
- ๐ Documentation
- ๐ง Agent reasoning
These DSLs include:
dsl:actor-handler,dsl:feature-flow,dsl:retry-policydsl:specflow-scenario,dsl:graph-index,dsl:ai-prompt-template
The Knowledge Graph must represent and expose these DSLs as first-class nodes to support:
- Discovery
- Reuse
- Enrichment
- Trace linkage
- Version evolution
๐ค DSL Node Representation¶
Each DSL is represented as a node with:
nodeType: dsl
nodeId: dsl-actor-handler
domain: backend
language: yaml
examples:
- templates/handlers/email-handler.yaml
- tests/actor-handler.feature
agent: DSLDesignerAgent
confidence: 0.95
๐ DSL Edge Relationships¶
| Edge Type | Meaning | Example |
|---|---|---|
usedBy |
A blueprint, prompt, or template uses this DSL | blueprint-invite-user โ dsl-actor-handler |
extends |
DSL A is based on DSL B | dsl-async-handler โ dsl-actor-handler |
composes |
DSL includes fragments of another | dsl-feature-flow โ dsl-actor-handler, dsl-telemetry-span |
validates |
Test DSL or schema matches a target | dsl-specflow โ blueprint-user-registration |
๐ DSL Discovery Queries¶
Agents and dev tools can query:
findDSLsByDomain("backend")listDSLsUsedInTemplate("email-service")searchDSLs("handles commands with async response")getDSLExampleUsages("dsl-actor-handler")getDSLDependencies("dsl-retry-policy")graph.ResolveCompatibleDSLs("span generation")

2. Graph โ matches `dsl-actor-handler` with confidence 0.97
3. Prompt enriched with example DSL usage and constraints
4. Output blueprint references DSL node
5. TestAgent validates conformance to DSL
Each step forms a graph-linked, DSL-driven reasoning path.
๐งฉ DSL Index View¶
dsl:
- dsl-actor-handler
- dsl-telemetry-span
- dsl-feature-flow

๐ Temporal Graph Analysis: Trends, Deltas, and Drift¶
The Knowledge Graph isn't static โ it evolves as:
- Features are generated and validated
- Agents regenerate prompts or spans
- Templates, blueprints, and tests are versioned
- Confidence decays or increases
- DSLs and architectures drift over time
Temporal graph analysis enables:
- ๐ Change monitoring
- ๐ Trace evolution comparison
- ๐ง Drift detection
- โช Rollbacks and audits
- ๐ Trend-based metrics for factory operations
Understanding how the graph changes over time is crucial for reliability, observability, and product lineage.
โฑ๏ธ Timestamped Entities¶

๐ง Knowledge Graph Roles in Agentic Prompt Planning¶
In the ConnectSoft AI Software Factory, agents donโt just emit one-shot prompts โ they often:
- Plan multi-turn sequences
- Chain across agents
- Recall past flows
- Reuse blueprints, spans, tests, and feedback
- Validate prior outputs for reuse or regeneration
The Knowledge Graph acts as a planning substrate, helping agents reason through:
- ๐ What has been done
- ๐ What is missing
- ๐ What should be reused, fixed, or extended
- ๐ค What agents or DSLs should be involved
๐ง Roles the Graph Plays in Prompt Planning¶
| Role | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Memory | Recall prior prompts, outputs, and traces | Reuse login blueprint |
| Context Provider | Find relevant examples, spans, or DSLs | Inject dsl-user-handler and test-onboarding.feature |
| Constraint Source | Enforce policies, tag filters, confidence gates | Block prompt if last 3 runs failed |
| Routing Engine | Suggest next agent or skill | After blueprint, trigger TestAgent |
| Evaluator | Validate whether prompt is still aligned | Confidence check of span โ test linkage |
| Planner | Stitch prior nodes to create a generation plan | Generate blueprint โ model โ test with known gaps |
๐ Prompt Planning Graph Query Patterns¶
1. Whatโs missing?¶
findMissingEdges:
from: blueprint-user-registration
expects:
- emits โ span
- coveredBy โ test
- documentedBy โ prompt
2. What can be reused?¶
findReusableArtifacts:
domain: onboarding
tags: [layer:backend, dsl:actor-handler]
confidence: > 0.8
3. Who should act next?¶
๐ค Prompt Planning Agents¶
| Agent | Graph Use |
|---|---|
PromptPlannerAgent |
Queries graph for whatโs missing and reusable |
ContextEnrichmentAgent |
Gathers nearby nodes and injects context |
ChainedPromptAgent |
Uses previous nodes to sequence prompt goals |
CorrectionAgent |
Validates prompt vs trace expectations |
FeatureComposerAgent |
Builds generation plan graph before prompt creation |
๐งฉ Example: Onboarding Flow Generation Plan¶
goal: Generate onboarding feature
input:
domain: authentication
tags: [layer:frontend, layer:api]
plan:
- prompt โ blueprint: blueprint-user-onboarding
- blueprint โ emits โ span-user.onboard
- span โ validates โ test-UserOnboarding.feature
- prompt โ emits โ UIComponent: OnboardingForm
Each line maps to graph edge creation or validation.
๐ ๏ธ Prompt Assembly via Graph¶
Agents use the graph to:
- Pull context: DSLs, previous tests, telemetry
- Enrich the prompt dynamically
- Apply planning constraints
- Generate and emit nodes/edges
- Re-enter feedback loop for validation
Prompt generation becomes data-driven and trace-aware, not stateless.
๐ฏ Prompt Planning Outcomes¶
| Benefit | Impact |
|---|---|
| Context-rich prompts | Higher generation accuracy |
| Multi-agent orchestration | Smarter handoffs and reuse |
| Self-correcting plans | Regeneration on drift or failure |
| Knowledge coverage | Traceable artifact alignment |
| DSL compliance | Reuse of standards and structure |
โ Summary¶
Prompt planning with the Knowledge Graph enables:
- ๐ง Smart, sequenced generation
- ๐ Feedback-aware flows
- ๐งฉ Rich, reusable context
- ๐ค Coordinated multi-agent collaboration
๐งพ Advanced Indexing Patterns for Agents and Coordinators¶
The Knowledge Graph is powerful, but searching and routing at scale require efficient indexing.
Agents must:
- Rapidly find reusable assets (DSLs, prompts, spans)
- Discover whatโs missing in a trace
- Be routed to relevant tasks
- Access scoped memory by role, domain, or confidence
- Filter based on agent capabilities, constraints, or feedback
Indexes are how agents stay focused, fast, and context-aware in real time.
๐ Types of Indexes¶
| Index Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Prompt Index | Semantic index of prompts by topic, DSL, output type |
| Blueprint Index | Organized by domain, scope, and agent origin |
| TestโSpan Index | Map from tests to trace spans they cover |
| Trace Delta Index | Quickly find incomplete or drifted traces |
| Agent Capability Index | Maps agent โ roles โ artifacts handled |
| DSL Usage Index | Which DSLs are used where and how often |
| TemplateโRepo Index | Links generated features back to template + Git |
| Confidence Index | Segments by confidence threshold and decay |
| Tenant/Environment Index | Partitioned subgraphs for each client/env |
| Feedback Index | Stores agent + user feedback for scoring and rerouting |
| Changelog Index | Node-level versioning with diff tracking |

๐ Visualizing Knowledge Coverage and Trace Completeness¶
As the AI Software Factory scales to generate 3000+ microservices across tenants, projects, and domains, we must:
- โ Ensure all necessary artifacts are generated
- ๐งช Validate test and span coverage
- ๐ Detect gaps or missing edges
- ๐ Identify drift, regressions, or forgotten features
The Knowledge Graph enables coverage analysis that goes beyond code โ it spans:
- Prompts
- DSLs
- Blueprints
- Models
- Spans

๐งฉ Trace Completeness Model¶
Each trace is evaluated against a blueprint of expectations:
expected:
- blueprint
- emits โ span
- validatedBy โ test
- documentedBy โ prompt
- monitoredBy โ dashboard
- describedBy โ DSL
The system then generates a completeness report per trace:
traceId: trace-onboarding
completeness:
score: 0.67
missing:
- span-user.onboard
- dashboard-onboarding-latency
- test-UserOnboard.feature
๐ Visual Coverage Views¶
