Wiki Graph

The wiki graph tracks entities and their relationships across all findings written during an investigation.

Storage

Each entity is a Markdown file in wiki/. The master index is wiki/index.md. Cross-references between entities use bold entity names (**Entity Name**) which the graph parser extracts.

Graph structure

Redshank uses petgraph::DiGraph to represent the entity graph:

  • NodesWikiEntry structs (entity name, slug, last-updated timestamp)
  • Edges — directed relationships extracted from cross-reference mentions

Fuzzy matching (Levenshtein distance) resolves name variants across different data sources (e.g. “ACME CORPORATION” and “Acme Corp” merge into one node).

Rendering in the TUI

The TUI’s right-hand pane renders the graph as a character-cell canvas using a simple force-directed layout. Nodes are entity name labels; edges are drawn with , , , box-drawing characters.

Exporting

redshank wiki export --format dot > graph.dot
dot -Tsvg graph.dot > graph.svg

The DOT export is compatible with Graphviz for publication-quality rendering.
