sibyl-core 0.4.1

Core library for Sibyl - domain models, graph operations, and knowledge retrieval

sibyl-core

Core library for Sibyl. Domain models, graph operations, retrieval algorithms, and tool implementations. Shared foundation for the API server and CLI.

Quick Reference

# Install
uv add sibyl-core

# Development
moon run core:lint        # Ruff check
moon run core:typecheck   # Pyright
moon run core:test        # Pytest

What's Here

• models/: Domain entities (Task, Project, Epic, Source, etc.)
• graph/: FalkorDB/Graphiti client, entity management
• retrieval/: Graphiti node-hybrid search, fusion, deduplication
• tools/: MCP tool implementations (search, explore, add, manage)
• tasks/: Workflow engine, dependency resolution
• auth/: JWT primitives, password hashing

Usage

Models

from sibyl_core.models import (
    Entity, EntityType, Task, TaskStatus, Project, Epic,
)

task = Task(
    name="Implement OAuth",
    content="Add Google and GitHub OAuth",
    project_id="proj_abc",
    status=TaskStatus.TODO,
)

Graph Client

from sibyl_core.graph import GraphClient, EntityManager

client = GraphClient()
await client.connect()
manager = EntityManager(client, group_id=str(org_id))

# CRUD
await manager.create(entity)
# Retrieval uses search or list_by_type rather than direct ID lookup
results = await manager.search("authentication patterns", limit=20)

Write Concurrency

Write concurrency is handled by FalkorDB's BlockingConnectionPool (50 connections, 60s timeout). No application-level locking is required.

# Direct writes are safe - connection pool handles concurrency
await client.execute_write_org(query, org_id, **params)

# Or use EntityManager
await manager.create(entity)

Task Workflow

from sibyl_core.tasks import TaskManager

manager = TaskManager(entity_manager, relationship_manager)
await manager.create_task_with_knowledge_links(task)
await manager.find_similar_tasks(task)
await manager.estimate_task_effort(task)

Entity Types

Type	Description
pattern	Reusable coding patterns
episode	Temporal learnings
task	Work items with workflow
project	Container for tasks
epic	Feature-level grouping
source	Documentation sources
document	Crawled content

Relationship Types

from sibyl_core.models import RelationshipType

# Knowledge
RelationshipType.APPLIES_TO, REQUIRES, CONFLICTS_WITH, SUPERSEDES

# Task
RelationshipType.BELONGS_TO, DEPENDS_ON, BLOCKS, REFERENCES

Configuration

SIBYL_OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...         # Required (embeddings)
SIBYL_FALKORDB_HOST=localhost
SIBYL_FALKORDB_PORT=6380
SIBYL_ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=...         # Optional (LLM-powered features)

Key Patterns

Multi-tenancy: Every operation requires org context

manager = EntityManager(client, group_id=str(org.id))

Node labels: Graphiti creates Episodic and Entity nodes

WHERE (n:Episodic OR n:Entity) AND n.entity_type = $type

Creation paths: LLM-powered (create) vs direct (create_direct)

await manager.create(entity)         # Slower, richer extraction
await manager.create_direct(entity)  # Faster, no LLM

Testing

# With mock LLM (fast, deterministic)
SIBYL_MOCK_LLM=true uv run pytest tests/

# Live model tests (costs money)
uv run pytest tests/live --live-models

# Retrieval benchmark suite
moon run core:bench-retrieval

# Live read-only search benchmark against a running stack
moon run core:bench-live

core:bench-live probes the real /api/search path with CLI auth and auto-skips when the local Sibyl stack or auth context is unavailable, so it is safe to run in normal development without mutating graph data.
