Graph Surface

Psi exposes a self-describing EQL graph at session root. This graph surface is intended to help humans and future ψ discover what is queryable before guessing attribute names or internal paths.

Purpose

The graph surface provides:

• a compact summary of registered resolvers and mutations
• a capability-oriented graph view over the live query system
• a canonical list of attrs reachable from session-root seeds
• a stable discovery workflow for interactive querying

What this graph is

This is a capability graph.

• Nodes represent operations and domain capabilities.
• Edges represent operation -> capability membership.
• Edge :attribute values annotate those edges with operation IO attrs.

What this graph is not

This is not a full dependency graph.

• Edges do not represent resolver dependency flow.
• Edges do not represent attr-to-resolver links as standalone nodes.
• Edges do not directly encode root reachability.

Canonical discovery workflow

When exploring a running psi instance, prefer this sequence:

1. Query the graph surface for discovery metadata.
2. Read :psi.graph/root-queryable-attrs.
3. Read :psi.graph/capabilities and :psi.graph/domain-coverage.
4. Query the discovered attrs directly.

Examples:

[:psi.graph/root-seeds]
[:psi.graph/root-queryable-attrs]
[:psi.graph/capabilities]
[:psi.graph/domain-coverage]

Then query discovered attrs directly, for example:

[:psi.agent-session/phase :psi.agent-session/model]
[:git.repo/status :git.worktree/count]
[:psi.memory/status]

Prompt lifecycle introspection example:

[:psi.agent-session/last-prepared-turn-id
 :psi.agent-session/last-prepared-message-count
 :psi.agent-session/last-execution-turn-id
 :psi.agent-session/last-execution-turn-outcome
 :psi.agent-session/last-execution-stop-reason]

Root discovery

:psi.graph/root-seeds

The root context attrs injected for session-root querying.

Current seeds are:

• :psi/agent-session-ctx
• :psi/memory-ctx
• :psi/recursion-ctx
• :psi/engine-ctx

These seeds are diagnostic/discovery information. They are not included in :psi.graph/root-queryable-attrs.

:psi.graph/root-queryable-attrs

A sorted vector of keyword attrs reachable from the root seeds via resolvers.

Contract:

• derived by fixed-point reachability
• resolver outputs only
• mutations do not contribute
• seed attrs themselves are excluded
• only keyword attrs are returned
• sorted for deterministic discovery

Graph summary attrs

:psi.graph/resolver-count

Count of registered resolver operations in the introspected graph.

:psi.graph/mutation-count

Count of registered mutation operations in the introspected graph.

:psi.graph/resolver-syms

Set of qualified resolver symbols.

:psi.graph/mutation-syms

Set of qualified mutation symbols.

:psi.graph/env-built

Boolean indicating that a non-empty introspection graph/env is available.

This should be read as a practical readiness signal for graph discovery, not as proof of a stronger internal compiler lifecycle state.

Graph structure attrs

:psi.graph/nodes

Vector of graph nodes.

Node types are restricted to:

• :resolver
• :mutation
• :capability

Typical node fields include:

• :id
• :type
• :domain
• :symbol for operation nodes
• :operation-count for capability nodes

:psi.graph/edges

Vector of graph edges.

Each edge includes:

• :from
• :to
• :attribute

Edge semantics:

• :from is an operation node id
• :to is a capability node id
• :attribute annotates the edge with one IO attr from that operation

:attribute may be:

• a keyword attr
• a join map attr
• nil when an operation has no IO attrs

Domain summary attrs

:psi.graph/capabilities

Rich per-domain summaries for domains present in the graph.

Typical fields include:

• :id
• :domain
• :operation-count
• :resolver-count
• :mutation-count
• :operation-symbols
• :attributes

This surface is useful when you want a richer picture of what a domain exposes.

:psi.graph/domain-coverage

Normalized per-domain operation counts.

Fields:

• :domain
• :operation-count
• :resolver-count
• :mutation-count

This surface differs from :psi.graph/capabilities:

• capabilities reports only domains present in the graph
• domain-coverage includes required zero-count domains

Current required domains are:

• :ai
• :history
• :agent-session
• :introspection
