    37→## What graphify is for
    38→
    39→graphify is built around Andrej Karpathy's /raw folder workflow: drop anything into a folder - papers, tweets, screenshots, code, notes - and get a structured knowledge graph that shows you what you didn't know was connected.
    40→
    41→Three things it does that Claude alone cannot:
    42→1. **Persistent graph** - relationships are stored in `graphify-out/graph.json` and survive across sessions. Ask questions weeks later without re-reading everything.
    43→2. **Honest audit trail** - every edge is tagged EXTRACTED, INFERRED, or AMBIGUOUS. You know what was found vs invented.
    44→3. **Cross-document surprise** - community detection finds connections between concepts in different files that you would never think to ask about directly.
    45→
    46→Use it for:
    47→- A codebase you're new to (understand architecture before touching anything)
    48→- A reading list (papers + tweets + notes → one navigable graph)
    49→- A research corpus (citation graph + concept graph in one)
    50→- Your personal /raw folder (drop everything in, let it grow, query it)
    51→
    52→## What You Must Do When Invoked
    53→
    54→If no path was given, use `.` (current directory). Do not ask the user for a path.
    55→
    56→Follow these steps in order. Do not skip steps.
    57→
    58→### Step 1 - Ensure graphify is installed
    59→
    60→```bash
    61→python3 -c "import graphify" 2>/dev/null || pip install graphifyy -q --break-system-packages 2>&1 | tail -3
    62→```
    63→
    64→If the import succeeds, print nothing and move straight to Step 2.
    65→
    66→### Step 2 - Detect files
    67→
    68→```bash
    69→python3 -c "
    70→import json
    71→from graphify.detect import detect
    72→from pathlib import Path
    73→result = detect(Path('INPUT_PATH'))
    74→print(json.dumps(result))
    75→" > .graphify_detect.json
    76→```
    77→
    78→Replace INPUT_PATH with the actual path the user provided. Do NOT cat or print the JSON - read it silently and present a clean summary instead:
    79→
    80→```
    81→Corpus: X files · ~Y words
    82→  code:     N files (.py .ts .go ...)
    83→  docs:     N files (.md .txt ...)
    84→  papers:   N files (.pdf ...)
    85→  images:   N files
    86→```
    87→
    88→Then act on it:
    89→- If `total_files` is 0: stop with "No supported files found in [path]."
    90→- If `skipped_sensitive` is non-empty: mention file count skipped, not the file names.
    91→- If `total_words` > 2,000,000 OR `total_files` > 200: show the warning and the top 5 subdirectories by file count, then ask which subfolder to run on. Wait for the user's answer before proceeding.
    92→- Otherwise: proceed directly to Step 3 - no need to ask anything.
    93→
    94→### Step 3 - Extract entities and relationships
    95→
    96→**Before starting:** note whether `--mode deep` was given. You must pass `DEEP_MODE=true` to every subagent in Step B2 if it was. Track this from the original invocation - do not lose it.
    97→
    98→This step has two parts: **structural extraction** (deterministic, free) and **semantic extraction** (Claude, costs tokens).
    99→
   100→**Run Part A (AST) and Part B (semantic) in parallel. Dispatch all semantic subagents AND start AST extraction in the same message. Both can run simultaneously since they operate on different file types. Merge results in Part C as before.**
   101→
   102→Note: Parallelizing AST + semantic saves 5-15s on large corpora. AST is deterministic and fast; start it while subagents are processing docs/papers.
   103→
   104→#### Part A - Structural extraction for code files
   105→
   106→For any code files detected, run AST extraction in parallel with Part B subagents:
   107→
   108→```bash
   109→python3 -c "
   110→import sys, json
   111→from graphify.extract import collect_files, extract
   112→from pathlib import Path
   113→import json
   114→
   115→code_files = []
   116→detect = json.loads(Path('.graphify_detect.json').read_text())
   117→for f in detect.get('files', {}).get('code', []):
   118→    code_files.extend(collect_files(Path(f)) if Path(f).is_dir() else [Path(f)])
   119→
   120→if code_files:
   121→    result = extract(code_files)
   122→    Path('.graphify_ast.json').write_text(json.dumps(result, indent=2))
   123→    print(f'AST: {len(result[\"nodes\"])} nodes, {len(result[\"edges\"])} edges')
   124→else:
   125→    Path('.graphify_ast.json').write_text(json.dumps({'nodes':[],'edges':[],'input_tokens':0,'output_tokens':0}))
   126→    print('No code files - skipping AST extraction')
   127→"
   128→```
   129→
   130→#### Part B - Semantic extraction (parallel subagents)
   131→
   132→**Fast path:** If detection found zero docs, papers, and images (code-only corpus), skip Part B entirely and go straight to Part C. AST handles code - there is nothing for semantic subagents to do.
   133→
   134→**MANDATORY: You MUST use the Agent tool here. Reading files yourself one-by-one is forbidden - it is 5-10x slower. If you do not use the Agent tool you are doing this wrong.**
   135→
   136→Before dispatching subagents, print a timing estimate:
   137→- Load `total_words` and file counts from `.graphify_detect.json`
   138→- Estimate agents needed: `ceil(uncached_non_code_files / 22)` (chunk size is 20-25)
   139→- Estimate time: ~45s per agent batch (they run in parallel, so total ≈ 45s × ceil(agents/parallel_limit))
   140→- Print: "Semantic extraction: ~N files → X agents, estimated ~Ys"
   141→
   142→**Step B0 - Check extraction cache first**
   143→
   144→Before dispatching any subagents, check which files already have cached extraction results:
   145→
   146→```bash
   147→python3 -c "
   148→import json
   149→from graphify.cache import check_semantic_cache
   150→from pathlib import Path
   151→
   152→detect = json.loads(Path('.graphify_detect.json').read_text())
   153→all_files = [f for files in detect['files'].values() for f in files]
   154→
   155→cached_nodes, cached_edges, uncached = check_semantic_cache(all_files)
   156→
   157→if cached_nodes or cached_edges:
   158→    Path('.graphify_cached.json').write_text(json.dumps({'nodes': cached_nodes, 'edges': cached_edges}))
   159→Path('.graphify_uncached.txt').write_text('\n'.join(uncached))
   160→print(f'Cache: {len(all_files)-len(uncached)} files hit, {len(uncached)} files need extraction')
   161→"
   162→```
   163→
   164→Only dispatch subagents for files listed in `.graphify_uncached.txt`. If all files are cached, skip to Part C directly.
   165→
   166→**Step B1 - Split into chunks**
   167→
   168→Load files from `.graphify_uncached.txt`. Split into chunks of 20-25 files each. Each image gets its own chunk (vision needs separate context).
   169→
   170→**Step B2 - Dispatch ALL subagents in a single message**
   171→
   172→Call the Agent tool multiple times IN THE SAME RESPONSE - one call per chunk. This is the only way they run in parallel. If you make one Agent call, wait, then make another, you are doing it sequentially and defeating the purpose.
   173→
   174→Concrete example for 3 chunks:
   175→```
   176→[Agent tool call 1: files 1-15]
   177→[Agent tool call 2: files 16-30]  
   178→[Agent tool call 3: files 31-45]
   179→```
   180→All three in one message. Not three separate messages.
   181→
   182→Each subagent receives this exact prompt (substitute FILE_LIST, CHUNK_NUM, TOTAL_CHUNKS, and DEEP_MODE):
   183→
   184→```
   185→You are a graphify extraction subagent. Read the files listed and extract a knowledge graph fragment.
   186→Output ONLY valid JSON matching the schema below - no explanation, no markdown fences, no preamble.
   187→
   188→Files (chunk CHUNK_NUM of TOTAL_CHUNKS):
   189→FILE_LIST
   190→
   191→Rules:
   192→- EXTRACTED: relationship explicit in source (import, call, citation, "see §3.2")
   193→- INFERRED: reasonable inference (shared data structure, implied dependency)
   194→- AMBIGUOUS: uncertain - flag for review, do not omit
   195→
   196→Code files: focus on semantic edges AST cannot find (call relationships, shared data, arch patterns).
   197→  Do not re-extract imports - AST already has those.
   198→Doc/paper files: extract named concepts, entities, citations.
   199→Image files: use vision to understand what the image IS - do not just OCR.
   200→  UI screenshot: layout patterns, design decisions, key elements, purpose.
   201→  Chart: metric, trend/insight, data source.
   202→  Tweet/post: claim as node, author, concepts mentioned.
   203→  Diagram: components and connections.
   204→  Research figure: what it demonstrates, method, result.
   205→  Handwritten/whiteboard: ideas and arrows, mark uncertain readings AMBIGUOUS.
   206→
   207→DEEP_MODE (if --mode deep was given): be aggressive with INFERRED edges - indirect deps,
   208→  shared assumptions, latent couplings. Mark uncertain ones AMBIGUOUS instead of omitting.
   209→
   210→Semantic similarity: if two concepts in this chunk solve the same problem or represent the same idea without any structural link (no import, no call, no citation), add a `semantically_similar_to` edge marked INFERRED with a confidence_score reflecting how similar they are (0.6-0.95). Examples:
   211→- Two functions that both validate user input but never call each other
   212→- A class in code and a concept in a paper that describe the same algorithm
   213→- Two error types that handle the same failure mode differently
   214→Only add these when the similarity is genuinely non-obvious and cross-cutting. Do not add them for trivially similar things.
   215→
   216→Hyperedges: if 3 or more nodes clearly participate together in a shared concept, flow, or pattern that is not captured by pairwise edges alone, add a hyperedge to a top-level `hyperedges` array. Examples:
   217→- All classes that implement a common protocol or interface
   218→- All functions in an authentication flow (even if they don't all call each other)
   219→- All concepts from a paper section that form one coherent idea
   220→Use sparingly — only when the group relationship adds information beyond the pairwise edges. Maximum 3 hyperedges per chunk.
   221→
   222→If a file has YAML frontmatter (--- ... ---), copy source_url, captured_at, author,
   223→  contributor onto every node from that file.
   224→
   225→confidence_score rules:
   226→- EXTRACTED edges: confidence_score must be 1.0
   227→- INFERRED edges: score 0.4-0.9 based on how certain you are.
   228→  Strong structural inference (e.g. two classes clearly share data): 0.8-0.9.
   229→  Reasonable but not certain: 0.6-0.7. Weak inference: 0.4-0.5.
   230→- AMBIGUOUS edges: score 0.1-0.3
   231→
   232→Output exactly this JSON (no other text):
   233→{"nodes":[{"id":"filestem_entityname","label":"Human Readable Name","file_type":"code|document|paper|image","source_file":"relative/path","source_location":null,"source_url":null,"captured_at":null,"author":null,"contributor":null}],"edges":[{"source":"node_id","target":"node_id","relation":"calls|implements|references|cites|conceptually_related_to|shares_data_with|semantically_similar_to","confidence":"EXTRACTED|INFERRED|AMBIGUOUS","confidence_score":1.0,"source_file":"relative/path","source_location":null,"weight":1.0}],"hyperedges":[{"id":"snake_case_id","label":"Human Readable Label","nodes":["node_id1","node_id2","node_id3"],"relation":"participate_in|implement|form","confidence":"EXTRACTED|INFERRED","confidence_score":0.75,"source_file":"relative/path"}],"input_tokens":0,"output_tokens":0}
   234→```
   235→
   236→**Step B3 - Collect, cache, and merge**
   237→
   238→Wait for all subagents. For each result:
   239→- If a subagent returned valid JSON with `nodes` and `edges`, include it and save each file's nodes/edges to the cache
   240→- If a subagent failed or returned invalid JSON, print a warning and skip that chunk - do not abort
   241→
   242→If more than half the chunks failed, stop and tell the user.
   243→
   244→Save new results to cache:
   245→```bash
   246→python3 -c "
   247→import json
   248→from graphify.cache import save_semantic_cache

   369→### Step 5 - Label communities
   370→
   371→Read `.graphify_analysis.json`. For each community key, look at its node labels and write a 2-5 word plain-language name (e.g. "Attention Mechanism", "Training Pipeline", "Data Loading").
   372→
   373→Then regenerate the report and save the labels for the visualizer:

   405→
   406→Replace `LABELS_DICT` with the actual dict you constructed (e.g. `{0: "Attention Mechanism", 1: "Training Pipeline"}`).
   407→Replace INPUT_PATH with the actual path.
   408→
   409→### Step 6 - Generate Obsidian vault (default) + optional HTML
   410→
   411→**Always generate the Obsidian vault and HTML** - they are the primary visualizations. Skip both if `--no-viz` (report + JSON only).

   440→```
   441→
   442→Also generate the HTML graph (always, unless `--no-viz`):

   466→
   467→### Step 7 - Neo4j export (only if --neo4j or --neo4j-push flag)
   468→
   469→**If `--neo4j`** - generate a Cypher file for manual import:

   501→"
   502→```
   503→
   504→Replace `NEO4J_URI`, `NEO4J_USER`, `NEO4J_PASSWORD` with actual values. Default URI is `bolt://localhost:7687`, default user is `neo4j`. Uses MERGE - safe to re-run without creating duplicates.
   505→
   506→### Step 7b - SVG export (only if --svg flag)
   507→

   549→
   550→```bash
   551→python3 -m graphify.serve graphify-out/graph.json
   552→```
   553→
   554→This starts a stdio MCP server that exposes tools: `query_graph`, `get_node`, `get_neighbors`, `get_community`, `god_nodes`, `graph_stats`, `shortest_path`. Add to Claude Desktop or any MCP-compatible agent orchestrator so other agents can query the graph live.
   555→
   556→To configure in Claude Desktop, add to `claude_desktop_config.json`:
   557→```json
   558→{
   559→  "mcpServers": {
   560→    "graphify": {
   561→      "command": "python3",

   580→print_benchmark(result)
   581→"
   582→```
   583→
   584→Print the output directly in chat. If `total_words <= 5000`, skip silently - the graph value is structural clarity, not token compression, for small corpora.
   585→
   586→---
   587→
   588→### Step 9 - Save manifest, update cost tracker, clean up, and report

   627→```
   628→
   629→Tell the user:
   630→```
   631→Graph complete. Outputs are in a hidden folder called graphify-out/ inside the directory you ran this on.
   632→
   633→The folder is hidden (dot prefix) so it won't show in Finder or a normal ls.
   634→To see it:
   635→  Mac/Linux:  ls -la graphify-out/
   636→  VS Code:    the Explorer panel shows hidden files by default
   637→  Finder:     Cmd+Shift+. to toggle hidden files
   638→
   639→What's inside:
   640→  graphify-out/obsidian/        - open this folder as a vault in Obsidian (File > Open Vault)
   641→  graphify-out/GRAPH_REPORT.md  - full audit report, also readable here in Claude
   642→  graphify-out/graph.json       - persistent graph, query it later with /graphify query "..."
   643→
   644→Full path: PATH_TO_DIR/graphify-out/
   645→```
   646→
   647→Replace PATH_TO_DIR with the actual absolute path of the directory that was processed.
   648→
   649→Then paste these sections from GRAPH_REPORT.md directly into the chat:
   650→- God Nodes
   651→- Surprising Connections
   652→- Suggested Questions
   653→
   654→Do NOT paste the full report - just those three sections. Keep it concise.
   655→
   656→Then immediately offer to explore. Pick the single most interesting suggested question from the report - the one that crosses the most community boundaries or has the most surprising bridge node - and ask:
   657→
   658→> "The most interesting question this graph can answer: **[question]**. Want me to trace it?"
   659→
   660→If the user says yes, run `/graphify query "[question]"` on the graph and walk them through the answer using the graph structure - which nodes connect, which community boundaries get crossed, what the path reveals. Keep going as long as they want to explore. Each answer should end with a natural follow-up ("this connects to X - want to go deeper?") so the session feels like navigation, not a one-shot report.
   661→

  1154→
  1155→- **Code files only (.py, .ts, .go, etc.):** re-runs AST extraction + rebuild + cluster immediately, no LLM needed. `graph.json` and `GRAPH_REPORT.md` are updated automatically.
  1156→- **Docs, papers, or images:** writes a `graphify-out/needs_update` flag and prints a notification to run `/graphify --update` (LLM semantic re-extraction required).
  1157→
  1158→Debounce (default 3s): waits until file activity stops before triggering, so a wave of parallel agent writes doesn't trigger a rebuild per file.
  1159→
  1160→Press Ctrl+C to stop.
  1161→
  1162→For agentic workflows: run `--watch` in a background terminal. Code changes from agent waves are picked up automatically between waves. If agents are also writing docs or notes, you'll need a manual `/graphify --update` after those waves.
  1163→

  1166→## For git commit hook
  1167→
  1168→Install a post-commit hook that auto-rebuilds the graph after every commit. No background process needed - triggers once per commit, works with any editor.
  1169→
  1170→```bash
  1171→graphify hook install    # install
  1172→graphify hook uninstall  # remove
  1173→graphify hook status     # check
  1174→```
  1175→
  1176→After every `git commit`, the hook detects which code files changed (via `git diff HEAD~1`), re-runs AST extraction on those files, and rebuilds `graph.json` and `GRAPH_REPORT.md`. Doc/image changes are ignored by the hook - run `/graphify --update` manually for those.
  1177→
  1178→If a post-commit hook already exists, graphify appends to it rather than replacing it.

  1189→
  1190→This writes a `## graphify` section to the local `CLAUDE.md` that instructs Claude to check the graph before answering codebase questions and rebuild it after code changes. No manual `/graphify` needed in future sessions.
