  • CI / CLI only

    Validate and classify in CI (Linux tarball preferred). cargo install is optional and can take 15–30+ minutes — most IDE users never need it.

Quick start

  1. Install the Strixonomy extension from the Marketplace or Open VSX (for Cursor)
  2. File → Open Folder… with .ttl / .obo / .owl / .rdf / .owx (editable) — JSON-LD / TriG / N-Triples are browse/query only (Supported formats)
  3. The bundled language server indexes in Restricted Mode — do not Trust the workspace unless you set custom strixonomy.lspPath or strixonomy.robotPath
  4. Open the Strixonomy activity bar → browse Classes → click an entity

Most IDE users skip this. Prefer the Linux x64 release tarball for CI — CI integration.

macOS/Windows cargo install needs Rust 1.88+ and often takes 15–30+ minutes — Install CLI:

cargo install strixonomy-cli --locked --version 0.27.0
strixonomy validate /path/to/ontologies

From a clone:

git clone https://github.com/eddiethedean/strixonomy.git
cd strixonomy
cargo run -- validate fixtures
