Our assessment of graphify
graphify scores 91/100 on our quality scale, 290th of 965 AI & Machine Learning skills we index (top 31%).
Its CLAUDE.md is 62 KB long, well organised into 41 sections with 31 code examples: long enough that it reads more like full documentation than a focused instruction file, which agents can find harder to follow.
With 142,887 GitHub stars, it is one of the more widely adopted skills in the catalogue.
Maintenance, license and trust
- The repository was last updated today, so graphify is actively maintained.
- Our last check on 2026-10-17 found the source still online.
- It is released under the Apache-2.0 license, a permissive license that allows use, modification and commercial use with attribution.
- Its trust signals score 100/100, with no cautions. These come from repository metadata, not a code audit — read the skill file before letting an agent act on it.

- Code maps for free, fully local. Code is parsed with tree-sitter AST: deterministic, no LLM, nothing leaves your machine. (Docs, PDFs, images and video use your assistant's model, or a configured API key, for a semantic pass.)
- Every edge is explained. Each connection is tagged
EXTRACTED(explicit in the source) orINFERRED(resolved by graphify), so you can tell what was read directly from what was inferred. - Not a vector index. No embeddings, no vector store: a real graph you traverse. Ask a question, trace the path between two things, or explain one concept.

Every node is a concept, colors are detected communities, and the whole thing is clickable in graph.html.</em> </p>Want this always-on, updating in the background across your code, docs, and meetings rather than only on demand? That is what we are building at graphify.com, and early access is open now at app.graphify.com.
Get started (30 seconds):
uv tool install graphifyy # install the CLI (or: pipx install graphifyy)
graphify install # register the skill with your AI assistant
Then, in your AI assistant:
/graphify .
That's it. You get three files:
graphify-out/
├── graph.html open in any browser — click nodes, filter, search
├── GRAPH_REPORT.md the highlights: key concepts, surprising connections, suggested questions
└── graph.json the full graph — query it anytime without re-reading your files
Works in Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot, and 15+ more — pick your platform.

<p align="center"> <img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Graphify-Labs/graphify/v8/docs/demo-path.svg" alt="graphify path query: a terminal asks for the shortest path between FastAPI and ModelField, and the answer lights up hop by hop across the knowledge graph" width="900"> </p>Once the graph is built you query it instead of reading files. Real output, graphify run on the FastAPI codebase shown above:
$ graphify explain "APIRouter"
Node: APIRouter
Source: routing.py L2210
Community: 2
Degree: 47
Connections (47):
--> RequestValidationError [uses] [INFERRED]
--> Dependant [uses] [INFERRED]
--> .get() [method] [EXTRACTED]
<-- __init__.py [imports] [EXTRACTED]
...
$ graphify path "FastAPI" "ModelField"
Shortest path (3 hops):
FastAPI --uses--> DefaultPlaceholder <--references-- get_request_handler() --references--> ModelField
Every edge carries a confidence tag (EXTRACTED = explicit in the source, INFERRED = derived by resolution), so you can tell what was read directly from what was inferred. graphify query "<question>" returns a scoped subgraph for a plain-language question, and graphify path A B traces how any two things connect.
What it does
What you get out of the box:
| Capability | What you get |
|---|---|
| God nodes | The most-connected concepts, so you see what everything flows through |
| Communities | The graph split into subsystems (Leiden), with LLM-free labels |
| Cross-file links | calls / imports / inherits / mixes_in resolved across ~40 languages via tree-sitter AST |
| Query, path, explain | Ask a question, trace the path between two things, or explain one concept, all against graph.json |
| Rationale + doc refs | # NOTE: / # WHY: comments and ADR/RFC citations become first-class nodes linked to the code |
| Beyond code | Docs, PDFs, images, and video/audio all map into the same graph |
| Local-first | Code is parsed locally with tree-sitter (no LLM, nothing leaves your machine); only the semantic pass over docs/media calls a backend, and only if you configure one |

Prerequisites
| Requirement | Minimum | Check | Install |
|---|---|---|---|
| Python | 3.10+ | python --version | python.org |
| uv (recommended) | any | uv --version | curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh \| sh |
| pipx (alternative) | any | pipx --version | pip install pipx |
macOS quick install (Homebrew):
brew install python@3.12 uv
Windows quick install:
winget install astral-sh.uv
Ubuntu/Debian:
sudo apt install python3.12 python3-pip pipx
# or install uv:
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
Install
Official package: The PyPI package is
graphifyy(double-y). Othergraphify*packages on PyPI are not affiliated. The CLI command is stillgraphify.
The official source repository is Graphify-Labs/graphify.
Step 1 — install the package:
# Recommended (isolated env; if 'graphify' isn't found after, run: uv tool update-shell):
uv tool install graphifyy
# Alternatives:
pipx install graphifyy
pip install graphifyy # may need PATH setup — see note below
Step 2 — register the skill with your AI assistant:
graphify install
That's it. Open your AI assistant and type /graphify .
To install the assistant skill into the current repository instead of your user
profile, add --project:
graphify install --project
graphify install --project --platform codex
Project-scoped installs write under the current directory, for example
.claude/skills/graphify/SKILL.md or .agents/skills/graphify/SKILL.md (plus a
references/ sidecar the skill loads on demand), and
print a git add hint for files that can be committed.
Per-platform commands that support project-scoped installs accept the same flag,
for example graphify claude install --project or graphify codex install --project.
PowerShell note: Use
graphify .not/graphify .— the leading slash is a path separator in PowerShell.
graphify: command not found?uv tool install/pipx installput thegraphifycommand in their tool bin dir (~/.local/bin). If your shell can't find it right after install — common on a fresh macOS + zsh setup — that dir isn't on yourPATHyet: runuv tool update-shell(orpipx ensurepath), then open a new terminal. With plainpip, add~/.local/bin(Linux) or~/Library/Python/3.x/bin(Mac) to your PATH, or runpython -m graphify.
Running with
uvx/uv tool runinstead of installing? Name the package, not the command:uvx --from graphifyy graphify install. Plainuvx graphify …fails (No solution found … no versions of graphify) becauseuv tool runreads the first word as a package, and the package isgraphifyy— thegraphifycommand lives inside it.
Avoid
pip installon Mac/Windows if possible. The skill resolves Python at runtime fromgraphify-out/.graphify_python; if that points to a different environment than wherepipinstalled the package, you'll getModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'graphify'.uv tool installandpipx installisol
