Same model, same task. Answers are capped and redacted.

Use this skill

Your agent runs on

Adds every file the skill has, pinned so you can update it. No account needed.

pip install "decimalai>=0.15"
decimalai skills add k-dense-ai-networkx
claude --plugin-dir "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null || pwd)/.agents"

The same install from Python, for a notebook or a setup script.

Install

pip install "decimalai>=0.15"

Add the skill

from decimalai import skillpkg

# Writes .agents/skills and .decimal/skills.toml. Safe to run twice.
result = skillpkg.add("k-dense-ai-networkx")
if result.exit_code:
    raise SystemExit(result.problems)

print("Added. Start Claude Code with the command below.")

Start Claude Code with it

claude --plugin-dir "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null || pwd)/.agents"

Type these in a Claude Code session. No account or API key. It writes the skill and any files it bundles, and asks first when its safety rating isn't Passed.

Add the DecimalAI plugin, once

/plugin marketplace add decimal-labs/decimalai-claude-plugins
/plugin install decimalai@decimalai

Install this skill

/decimalai:install k-dense-ai-networkx

The plugin needs python3 and curl on your machine.

No Python or account. Claude Code picks it up in its next session.

Save it into your project

curl -fsSL --create-dirs -o .claude/skills/k-dense-ai-networkx/SKILL.md https://app.decimal.ai/s/k-dense-ai-networkx/SKILL.md

Copy SKILL.md

Save it in your project, as

.claude/skills/k-dense-ai-networkx/SKILL.md

This gets SKILL.md only. The skill's 6 other files are not included.

NetworkX

Overview

NetworkX is a Python package for creating, manipulating, and analyzing complex networks and graphs. Use this skill when working with network or graph data structures, including social networks, biological networks, transportation systems, citation networks, knowledge graphs, or any system involving relationships between entities.

This skill targets tested NetworkX 3.7 (Python >=3.12, excluding 3.14.1). Several pre-3.0 APIs (nx.info, nx.write_gpickle, nx.read_shp) and the 3.4-era nx.random_tree no longer exist — current replacements are used throughout this skill.

Review sources, executed examples, optional-dependency limits, and reproducibility notes are in references/review.md. Reference snippets are API patterns: supply the stated graph type and input files; they are not one sequential script.

When to Use This Skill

Invoke this skill when tasks involve:

Creating graphs: Building network structures from data, adding nodes and edges with attributes
Graph analysis: Computing centrality measures, finding shortest paths, detecting communities, measuring clustering
Graph algorithms: Running standard algorithms like Dijkstra's, PageRank, minimum spanning trees, maximum flow
Network generation: Creating synthetic networks (random, scale-free, small-world models) for testing or simulation
Graph I/O: Reading from or writing to various formats (edge lists, GraphML, JSON, CSV, adjacency matrices)
Visualization: Drawing and customizing network visualizations with matplotlib or interactive libraries
Network comparison: Checking isomorphism, computing graph metrics, analyzing structural properties

Core Capabilities

1. Graph Creation and Manipulation

NetworkX supports four main graph types:

Graph: Undirected graphs with single edges
DiGraph: Directed graphs with one-way connections
MultiGraph: Undirected graphs allowing multiple edges between nodes
MultiDiGraph: Directed graphs with multiple edges

Create graphs by:

import networkx as nx

# Create empty graph
G = nx.Graph()

# Add nodes (can be any hashable type)
G.add_node(1)
G.add_nodes_from([2, 3, 4])
G.add_node("protein_A", type='enzyme', weight=1.5)

# Add edges
G.add_edge(1, 2)
G.add_edges_from([(1, 3), (2, 4)])
G.add_edge(1, 4, weight=0.8, relation='interacts')

Reference: See references/graph-basics.md for comprehensive guidance on creating, modifying, examining, and managing graph structures, including working with attributes and subgraphs.

2. Graph Algorithms

NetworkX provides extensive algorithms for network analysis:

Shortest Paths:

For weighted paths and betweenness, weights represent distances/costs: larger values make a route less favorable. Similarity, correlation, or interaction strength needs an explicit scientifically justified conversion before use as distance. Validate the chosen attribute on every edge and use strictly positive distances for weighted betweenness.

# Same distance model for route and length
G = nx.Graph()
G.add_weighted_edges_from([(1, 2, 1), (2, 5, 1), (1, 5, 5)], weight='distance')
path = nx.shortest_path(G, source=1, target=5, weight='distance')
length = nx.shortest_path_length(G, source=1, target=5, weight='distance')
assert path == [1, 2, 5] and length == 2

Centrality Measures:

# Degree centrality
degree_cent = nx.degree_centrality(G)

# Betweenness centrality
betweenness = nx.betweenness_centrality(G)

# PageRank
pagerank = nx.pagerank(G)

Community Detection:

from networkx.algorithms import community

# Specify weight=None for unweighted topology
communities = community.greedy_modularity_communities(G, weight=None)

Connectivity:

# Check connectivity
is_connected = nx.is_connected(G)

# Find connected components
components = list(nx.connected_components(G))

Reference: See references/algorithms.md for worked API patterns for common algorithms including shortest paths, centrality measures, clustering, community detection, flows, matching, tree algorithms, and graph traversal.

3. Graph Generators

Create synthetic networks for testing, simulation, or modeling:

Classic Graphs:

# Complete graph
G = nx.complete_graph(n=10)

# Cycle graph
G = nx.cycle_graph(n=20)

# Known graphs
G = nx.karate_club_graph()
G = nx.petersen_graph()

Random Networks:

# Erdős-Rényi random graph
G = nx.erdos_renyi_graph(n=100, p=0.1, seed=42)

# Barabási-Albert scale-free network
G = nx.barabasi_albert_graph(n=100, m=3, seed=42)

# Watts-Strogatz small-world network
G = nx.watts_strogatz_graph(n=100, k=6, p=0.1, seed=42)

Structured Networks:

# Grid graph
G = nx.grid_2d_graph(m=5, n=7)

# Random tree (random_tree was removed in NetworkX 3.4)
G = nx.random_labeled_tree(100, seed=42)

Reference: See references/generators.md for representative graph generators including classic, random, lattice, bipartite, and specialized network models with detailed parameters and use cases.

4. Reading and Writing Graphs

NetworkX supports numerous file formats and data sources:

File Formats:

# Edge list
G = nx.read_edgelist('graph.edgelist')
nx.write_edgelist(G, 'graph.edgelist')

# GraphML (supported scalar attributes; node IDs read as strings by default)
G = nx.read_graphml('graph.graphml')
nx.write_graphml(G, 'graph.graphml')

# GML
G = nx.read_gml('graph.gml')
nx.write_gml(G, 'graph.gml')

# JSON (node-link format; edge list is stored under the "edges" key
# since NetworkX 3.6 — older files may use "links", see references/io.md)
data = nx.node_link_data(G, edges="edges")
G = nx.node_link_graph(data, edges="edges")

Pandas Integration:

import pandas as pd

# From DataFrame
df = pd.DataFrame({'source': [1, 2, 3], 'target': [2, 3, 4], 'weight': [0.5, 1.0, 0.75]})
G = nx.from_pandas_edgelist(df, 'source', 'target', edge_attr='weight')

# To DataFrame
df = nx.to_pandas_edgelist(G)

Matrix Formats:

import numpy as np

# Simple-graph adjacency: preserve node ordering, direction and zero weights
nodes = list(G)
A = nx.to_numpy_array(G, nodelist=nodes, nonedge=np.nan)
H = nx.from_numpy_array(A, nodelist=nodes, create_using=type(G), nonedge=np.nan)

# Sparse adjacency sums parallel-edge weights; save labels separately
A = nx.to_scipy_sparse_array(G, nodelist=nodes)
H = nx.from_scipy_sparse_array(A, create_using=type(G))
H = nx.relabel_nodes(H, dict(enumerate(nodes)))

Reference: See references/io.md for complete documentation on all I/O formats including CSV, SQL databases, Cytoscape, DOT, and guidance on format selection for different use cases.

5. Visualization

Create clear and informative network visualizations:

Basic Visualization:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# Simple draw
nx.draw(G, with_labels=True)
plt.show()

# With layout
pos = nx.spring_layout(G, seed=42)
nx.draw(G, pos=pos, with_labels=True, node_color='lightblue', node_size=500)
plt.show()

Customization:

# Color by degree
node_colors = [G.degree(n) for n in G.nodes()]
nx.draw(G, node_color=node_colors, cmap=plt.cm.viridis)

# Size by centrality
centrality = nx.betweenness_centrality(G)
node_sizes = [3000 * centrality[n] for n in G.nodes()]
nx.draw(G, node_size=node_sizes)

# Edge weights
edge_widths = [3 * G[u][v].get('weight', 1) for u, v in G.edges()]
nx.draw(G, width=edge_widths)

Layout Algorithms:

# Spring layout (force-directed)
pos = nx.spring_layout(G, seed=42)

# Circular layout
pos = nx.circular_layout(G)

# Kamada-Kawai layout
pos = nx.kamada_kawai_layout(G)

# Spectral layout
pos = nx.spectral_layout(G)

Publication Quality:

fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(12, 8))
pos = nx.spring_layout(G, seed=42)
nx.draw(G, pos=pos, ax=ax, node_color='lightblue', node_size=500,
        edge_color='gray', with_labels=True, font_size=10)
plt.title('Network Visualization', fontsize=16)
plt.axis('off')
plt.tight_layout()
plt.savefig('network.png', dpi=300, bbox_inches='tight')
plt.savefig('network.pdf', bbox_inches='tight')  # Vector format

Reference: See references/visualization.md for extensive documentation on visualization techniques including layout algorithms, customization options, interactive visualizations with Plotly and PyVis, 3D networks, and publication-quality figure creation.

Working with NetworkX

Installation

Ensure NetworkX is installed:

# Check if installed
import networkx as nx
print(nx.__version__)

# Install if needed (via bash)
# uv pip install "networkx==3.7"
# uv pip install "networkx[default]==3.7"  # With optional dependencies

Common Workflow Pattern

Most NetworkX tasks follow this pattern:

Create or Load Graph: choose direction, parallel-edge and self-loop rules before importing. Keep an explicit node table so isolates survive edge-list imports.
```
# From scratch
G = nx.Graph()
G.add_edges_from([(1, 2), (2, 3), (3, 4)])

# Or load from file/data
G = nx.read_edgelist('data.txt')
```

Examine Structure:

print(f"Nodes: {G.number_of_nodes()}")
print(f"Edges: {G.number_of_edges()}")
print(f"Density: {nx.density(G)}")
print(f"Connected: {nx.is_connected(G)}")

Analyze:

# Compute metrics
degree_cent = nx.degree_centrality(G)
avg_clustering = nx.average_clustering(G)

# Find paths
path = nx.shortest_path(G, source=1, target=4)

# Detect communities
communities = community.greedy_modularity_communities(G)

Visualize:

pos = nx.spring_layout(G, seed=42)
nx.draw(G, pos=pos, with_labels=True)
plt.show()

Export Results:

# Save graph
nx.write_graphml(G, 'analyzed_network.graphml')

# Save metrics
df = pd.DataFrame({
    'node': list(degree_cent.keys()),

Important Considerations

Analysis contract: specify node/edge meaning, sampling and missingness, weight units, and whether parallel observations should be retained or aggregated. All four graph classes allow self-loops. Repeated Graph.add_edge updates an existing edge; it does not sum observations. nx.is_connected is for nonempty undirected graphs; directed graphs require strong/weak connectivity. Report component sizes before choosing a subset.

Scientific interpretation: centrality is conditional on the observed graph and weight model. Community partitions optimize a chosen objective; they are not significance tests. Test seed/resolution sensitivity and use a domain-justified null ensemble. Converting a configuration multigraph to a simple graph changes its degree sequence. A generated preferential-attachment graph does not demonstrate that empirical data follow a power law.

Floating Point Precision: When graphs contain floating-point numbers, all results are inherently approximate due to precision limitations. This can affect algorithm outcomes, particularly in minimum/maximum computations.

Memory and Performance: Each time a script runs, graph data must be loaded into memory. For large networks:

Use appropriate data structures (sparse matrices for large sparse graphs)
Consider loading only necessary subgraphs
Use efficient file formats (pickle for Python objects, compressed formats)
Leverage approximate algorithms for very large networks (e.g., k parameter in centrality calculations)
For heavy workloads, dispatchable functions accept backend= or configured nx.config.backend_priority. Check the backend's function, graph-type and parameter coverage; conversion costs, supported weights, seeds and numerical results can differ. Accelerated backends were not runtime-tested here.

Node and Edge Types:

Nodes can be any hashable Python object except None (numbers, strings, tuples, custom objects)
Use meaningful identifiers for clarity
When removing nodes, all incident edges are automatically removed

Random Seeds: Always set random seeds for reproducibility in random graph generation and force-directed layouts:

G = nx.erdos_renyi_graph(n=100, p=0.1, seed=42)
pos = nx.spring_layout(G, seed=42)

Citing Scientific Agent Skills

This skill is part of Scientific Agent Skills by K-Dense. If it materially contributed to a manuscript, report, presentation, or code release, add the paper to the references or software section and tell the user you did so:

Kassis, T., Agarwal, V., He, Y., Patel, D., & Brueckner, A. M. (2026). Scientific Agent Skills: A Library of Procedural Knowledge for Research Agents. arXiv:2609.00065. https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2609.00065

Always cite the current version. The DOI and https://arxiv.org/abs/2609.00065 resolve to the latest arXiv version, so never append a version suffix such as v1. When network access is available, fetch https://arxiv.org/abs/2609.00065 (or http://export.arxiv.org/api/query?id_list=2609.00065) before writing the reference and take the author list, year, and version from that record. If the record lists a journal reference or publisher DOI, cite the published version instead.

When it activates

Automatically, when a task matches. Use when working with network/graph data structures, computing graph algorithms (shortest paths, centrality, clustering), detecting communities, generating synthetic networks (random, scale-free, small-world), reading/writing graph file formats, or drawing network topologies. Common applications include social, biological, transportation, and citation networks.
