Graphify — Knowledge Graph Builder

Turn any folder of code, docs, papers, or images into a queryable knowledge graph. Uses tree-sitter AST for code (20 languages), Whisper for audio/video, and LLM subagents for documents.

When to Use

• Understanding unfamiliar codebase architecture before planning
• Discovering cross-file relationships and dependency chains
• Finding "god nodes" (most-connected concepts) in large projects
• Navigating by structure instead of grepping every file
• Preparing context-efficient codebase representation (71.5x fewer tokens vs raw files)

Installation

Note: The PyPI package is graphifyy (double-y). Other graphify* packages on PyPI are unaffiliated.

AgentKit already bundles this skill in the installed plugin. Do not run graphify install for AgentKit setup: upstream uses that command to install a standalone Claude skill.

# Core install
pip install graphifyy

# With MCP server support
pip install 'graphifyy[mcp]'

# Full install (MCP + PDF + video + office + Leiden community detection)
pip install 'graphifyy[all]'

Requirements: Python 3.10+

Quick Start

# Build knowledge graph from current directory
graphify .

# Build from specific path
graphify /path/to/project

# Watch mode (auto-rebuild on file changes)
graphify . --watch

Output Artifacts

File	Purpose
graphify-out/graph.html	Interactive visualization with search + community filtering
graphify-out/GRAPH_REPORT.md	God nodes, surprising connections, suggested questions
graphify-out/graph.json	Persistent graph for queries across sessions
graphify-out/cache/	SHA256-based incremental updates (only reprocesses changed files)

MCP Server Mode

Expose the graph as an MCP server for Claude to query directly:
