Relations Graph Overview

This page connects wikilinks, typed relations, and semantic links into a single graph.

See design/relations-graph/wikilink-edge-behavior and design/relations-graph/frontmatter-edge-types for details.

Published UI

Published KB pages surface typed relations in two places:

• Entry panel: "Typed Relations" shows outgoing vs incoming edges with direction arrows and type labels.
• Graph view: Typed relations render as solid edges with arrowheads; semantic links and wikilinks appear with distinct styles, and the controls let you filter by origin and relation type.

Search neighbors

mx search --include-neighbors expands results using semantic links, typed relations, and wikilinks. Use --neighbor-depth to control hop count (default 1).

Query the relations graph

There isn't a dedicated CLI command yet. For now:

• Use mx search --include-neighbors to expand results through semantic links + typed relations + wikilinks
• Inspect relations in entry frontmatter (open the file or use mx get path/to/entry.md --json)

Editing typed relations

Edit the relations frontmatter directly (or via mx patch / mx replace).

relations:
  - path: reference/cli.md
    type: documents
  - path: ref/other.md
    type: implements
