What it does
Build and query Kusto graphs from natural language. Covers transient graphs (make-graph), persistent graph models/snapshots, pattern matching (graph-match), shortest paths, connected components, and graph-to-table export. Generates the edges-first thinking: define edges, define node lookups, union, make-graph. WHEN: make-graph, graph-match, graph-shortest-paths, graph-to-table, graph-mark-components, persistent graph, graph model, graph snapshot, build a graph from data, find paths between nodes, pattern matching in graph, connected components, transient graph, Kusto graph, KQL graph.
Kusto Graph Semantics
Build transient and persistent graphs from tabular data using KQL graph operators. This skill translates natural language into the edges-first graph construction pattern and graph query operators.
Activation Triggers
Use this skill when the user:
- Wants to build a graph from tabular data (
make-graph) - Asks to find patterns, paths, or relationships in data
- Mentions
graph-match,graph-shortest-paths,graph-to-table,graph-mark-components - Wants to create a persistent graph model or snapshot
- Says "build a graph", "find the shortest path", "find connected components", "show relationships"
- Asks about transient vs persistent graphs
Not a natural-language-to-KQL converter. The input should generally be a working KQL query whose results the user wants converted to a graph, plus a natural-language description of the desired graph structure. Basic NL source requests are supported only when they map directly to a known table with obvious columns. For general NL-to-KQL conversion, use a dedicated query-generation skill (available separately).

The Edges-First Approach
The fundamental pattern for building graphs in Kusto:
1. Define your EDGES -> src --> dest, with relationship type/properties
2. Define your NODE LOOKUPS -> display names, types, properties for each node ID
3. Union edge types -> if you have multiple relationship types
4. Union node lookups -> if you have multiple node types
5. Call make-graph -> edges | make-graph Source --> Target with nodes on nodeId
