Graphify Overview

What Graphify is, how it works, and why it’s useful for understanding codebases.

🎯 What is Graphify?

Graphify is a local knowledge graph builder for codebases. It analyzes your project (code, docs, markdown, configs) and builds a queryable graph of files, symbols, and relationships. You ask natural language questions and get architectural answers with file references.

┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ YOUR CODEBASE │
│ Python, JS/TS, Go, Rust, Java, Markdown, YAML, PDF, ... │
└─────────────────────┬───────────────────────────────────────┘
 │ AST + Semantic Extraction
 ▼
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ KNOWLEDGE GRAPH │
│ Nodes: files, functions, classes, variables, docs │
│ Edges: imports, calls, contains, references, reads, writes │
│ Communities: auto-detected logical groups │
└─────────────────────┬───────────────────────────────────────┘
 │ Natural Language Queries
 ▼
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ ANSWERS │
│ "How does X work?" → Architectural explanation + files │
│ "What depends on Y?" → Dependency list + paths │
│ "Trace A to B" → Call/import chain with line numbers │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

🔑 Key Concepts

Knowledge Graph

A network of nodes (files, functions, classes, variables, docs) connected by edges (relationships like imports, calls, contains, reads, writes).
