 title: Query the Knowledge Graph
 description: Use the `knowledge:*` CLI subcommands on `elevasis-sdk` (external projects) and `elevasis` (monorepo) to browse, inspect, and traverse the OrganizationModel knowledge graph via six mount axes.
----
-
-# Query the Knowledge Graph
-
-The `knowledge:*` subcommands expose the OrganizationModel as a virtual filesystem. Paths are query strings -- `/by-system/sales/crm/` dispatches to a graph query, not a directory on disk. Three verbs cover all access patterns: `ls` (list), `cat` (read a node body), and `graph` (traverse edges).
-
-Both CLIs share the same query layer (`@repo/core/knowledge/queries`). The only difference is which OrganizationModel they load:
-
-- `elevasis-sdk` -- runs from inside `external/<project>/`, walks up to `.elevasis`, loads the project's `core/config/organization-model.ts`.
-- `elevasis` -- runs from the monorepo root, loads `canonicalOrganizationModel` from `@repo/elevasis-core`.
-
-## Before you start
-
-The `knowledge:*` commands require `elevasis-sdk >= 1.4.0`. Check with:
-
-```bash
-pnpm exec elevasis-sdk --version
-```
-
-If you are running on Windows, **use PowerShell** for all `knowledge:*` commands. MSYS Bash rewrites the leading `/by-system/...` path argument to a Windows filesystem path, mangling the query. PowerShell passes the argument through verbatim.
-
-## Three Verbs
-
-| Verb                   | Behavior                                                                                                                    |
-| ---------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
-| `knowledge:ls <path>`  | List nodes or edges for the mount. Default: id + summary table. `--json` for the wrapped envelope. `--ids-only` for piping. |
-| `knowledge:cat <id>`   | Print a node's raw MDX `body` to stdout.                                                                                    |
-| `knowledge:graph <id>` | Show outgoing and incoming edges for a node, grouped by edge kind.                                                          |
-
-All three accept `--json` for machine-readable output. `knowledge:ls` additionally accepts `--ids-only` to print one node ID per line.

 ## Six Mount Axes
 
 The path argument to `knowledge:ls` determines the query. Six axes are available:
 
-| Path prefix                    | Query                         | Returns                                             |
-| ------------------------------ | ----------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
-| `/by-system/<dotted-id>/`     | `bySystem(graph, systemId)` | nodes with incoming `governs` edges to this system |
-| `/by-ontology/<ontology-id>/` | `byOntology(graph, ontologyId)` | nodes with incoming `governs` edges to this ontology record |
-| `/by-kind/<kind>/`             | `byKind(graph, kind)`         | nodes where `node.kind === kind`                    |
-| `/by-owner/<id>/`              | `byOwner(graph, ownerId)`     | nodes where `node.ownerIds.includes(id)`            |
-| `/graph/<nodeId>/governs/`     | `governs(graph, nodeId)`      | outgoing `governs` edges from `nodeId`              |
-| `/graph/<nodeId>/governed-by/` | `governedBy(graph, nodeId)`   | incoming `governs` edges to `nodeId`                |

 Ontology IDs use `system.path:kind/local-id` or `global:kind/local-id`. Slash-containing ontology IDs are part of the query path; use PowerShell on Windows so the leading `/by-ontology/...` path is not rewritten by MSYS Bash.
 
 ### 3. List by kind (`/by-kind/<kind>/`)
-
-List all nodes of kind `playbook`:
-
-```bash
-# External project
-pnpm exec elevasis-sdk knowledge:ls /by-kind/playbook
-
-# Monorepo
-pnpm exec elevasis knowledge:ls /by-kind/playbook

+
 ### 4. List by owner (`/by-owner/<id>/`)

-List all knowledge nodes owned by a specific member or team:
-
-```bash
-# External project
-pnpm exec elevasis-sdk knowledge:ls /by-owner/operations-team
-
-# Monorepo
-pnpm exec elevasis knowledge:ls /by-owner/operations-team
-```
-
-The `<id>` matches against `node.ownerIds`. Owner IDs are declared on each knowledge node in the OrganizationModel.

+```
+
+The `<id>` matches against `node.ownerIds`. Owner IDs are declared on each knowledge node in the OrganizationModel.
+
 ### 5. Traverse outgoing edges (`/graph/<nodeId>/governs/`)
-
-List what a specific node governs (outgoing `governs` edges):
-
-```bash
-# External project
-pnpm exec elevasis-sdk knowledge:ls /graph/knowledge.new-vertical-launch-playbook/governs/
-
-# Monorepo
-pnpm exec elevasis knowledge:ls /graph/knowledge.new-vertical-launch-playbook/governs/
-```
-
-Knowledge node IDs use the `knowledge.<slug>` source id. Graph node IDs may be kind-prefixed,
-such as `knowledge:knowledge.new-vertical-launch-playbook` or `system:sales.crm`, when traversing
-graph edges.
-
+
+List what a specific node governs (outgoing `governs` edges):

+
+# Monorepo
+pnpm exec elevasis knowledge:ls /graph/knowledge.new-vertical-launch-playbook/governs/
+```
+
+Knowledge node IDs use the `knowledge.<slug>` source id. Graph node IDs may be kind-prefixed,
+such as `knowledge:knowledge.new-vertical-launch-playbook` or `system:sales.crm`, when traversing
+graph edges.
+
+> **Note:** Graph node IDs like `system:sales.crm` are addresses in the knowledge graph API and
+> are distinct from the Organization Model `resource.systemPath` field. A resource attaches to a
+> System with `systemPath: 'sales.crm'` (no prefix); the same System appears in the graph as the
+> node `system:sales.crm`. Do not author `system:`-prefixed values into `resource.systemPath`.
+
 ### 6. Traverse incoming edges (`/graph/<nodeId>/governed-by/`)
-
-List what governs a specific node (incoming `governs` edges):
-
-```bash
-# External project
-pnpm exec elevasis-sdk knowledge:ls /graph/knowledge.new-vertical-launch-playbook/governed-by/
-
-# Monorepo
-pnpm exec elevasis knowledge:ls /graph/knowledge.new-vertical-launch-playbook/governed-by/
-```
-
-## Read a Node Body
-
-`knowledge:cat` prints the raw MDX `body` string for a node. The body is not rendered -- it is the source MDX as stored in the OrganizationModel.
-
-```bash
-# External project
-pnpm exec elevasis-sdk knowledge:cat knowledge.new-vertical-launch-playbook
-
-# Monorepo
-pnpm exec elevasis knowledge:cat knowledge.new-vertical-launch-playbook
-```
-
-Pipe to a pager for long bodies:
-
-```bash
-pnpm exec elevasis knowledge:cat knowledge.platform-composition-patterns | less
-```
-
-## Inspect a Node's Edges
-
-`knowledge:graph` shows all edges for a node grouped by kind:
-
-```bash
-# External project
-pnpm exec elevasis-sdk knowledge:graph knowledge.new-vertical-launch-playbook
-
-# Monorepo
-pnpm exec elevasis knowledge:graph knowledge.new-vertical-launch-playbook
-```
-
-This combines the `governs` and `governed-by` views in one output, useful for understanding a node's full graph position.

+```
+
+This combines the `governs` and `governed-by` views in one output, useful for understanding a node's full graph position.
+
+## JSON Output
+
 All three verbs accept `--json`. `knowledge:ls --json` uses the wrapped envelope format:
-
-```json
-{
-  "path": "/by-system/sales.crm",
-  "mount": "by-system",
-  "args": ["sales.crm"],
-  "results": [...]
-}
-```
-
+
+```json
+{
+  "path": "/by-system/sales.crm",
+  "mount": "by-system",
+  "args": ["sales.crm"],
+  "results": [...]
+}
+```
+
 This is the format consumed by the `/knowledge` agent skill. Use it when scripting or building tooling that reads knowledge graph data programmatically.
 
 `knowledge:cat --json` returns the full knowledge node object, including the MDX `body`, links, owners, timestamps, and generated `sourceFilePath` when present.
