Graphify Skill for Coding Agents · Graphify Labs

What it is, and what it is not

Graphify reads a project folder and writes a graph of its concepts and how they connect: calls, imports and inheritance across roughly 40 languages, plus links into docs, PDFs and media. Your agent then queries that graph instead of re-reading files. It is a developer tool you run locally; it is not a diagram editor, a notes app, or a hosted analytics product.

The package name: graphifyy, not graphify

The upstream README marks this as important: the official PyPI package is graphifyy, with a double y. Other graphify* packages on PyPI are not affiliated. Only the package name differs; the command you run afterwards is still graphify.

Wrong: pip install graphify · Right: pip install graphifyy

Install the CLI

Commands follow the upstream README at commit a0946f962af3 (fetched 31 Oct 2026). Every platform row reflects upstream documentation; AgentSkillsDir has not run these commands independently.

Needs Python 3.10+ and uv (recommended) or pipx. Pick one install method:

uv tool install graphifyy   # recommended
pipx install graphifyy      # alternative
pip install graphifyy       # may need PATH setup

Register the skill in your assistant

graphify install on its own targets Claude Code by design. For other assistants, use the named command. Excerpt from the README platform table:

• Claude Code (macOS / Linux)

  then /graphify .
  graphify installCopy

• Claude Code (Windows)

  then /graphify .
  graphify install --platform windowsCopy

  Plain graphify install auto-detects Windows; the flag forces it. Install uv first with winget install astral-sh.uv.

• Codex

  then $graphify .
  graphify install --platform codexCopy

  Codex uses $graphify, not /graphify. For parallel extraction the README asks for multi_agent = true under [features] in ~/.codex/config.toml.

• Cursor

  then /graphify .
  graphify cursor installCopy

• Gemini CLI

  then /graphify .
  graphify install --platform geminiCopy

• Agent Skills (.agents/skills)

  then /graphify .
  graphify install --platform agentsCopy

  For frameworks that read ~/.agents/skills. The README lists 20+ further platforms (Copilot CLI, OpenCode, Aider, Kiro and more).

One repository only

Add --project to write the skill into the current repository (for example .claude/skills/graphify/SKILL.md or .agents/skills/graphify/SKILL.md) instead of your user profile:

graphify install --project
graphify install --project --platform codex

Minimal flow

From the upstream README; AgentSkillsDir has not run it on a repository yet.

1. Install the CLI from the official package: uv tool install graphifyy (or pipx install graphifyy). Needs Python 3.10+.
2. Register the skill for your assistant: graphify install, or the platform command from the table above.
3. In the assistant, run /graphify . on a repository you are allowed to read (Codex: $graphify .).
4. Open graphify-out/graph.html, read GRAPH_REPORT.md, and keep graph.json for later questions.

What you get

Three files under graphify-out/:

graph.html

Interactive graph to open in any browser: click nodes, filter, search.

GRAPH_REPORT.md

Written highlights: key concepts, surprising connections and suggested questions.

graph.json

The full persisted graph, queryable later without re-reading your files.

What stays local

• Code: parsed locally with tree-sitter. Upstream says no LLM is used for this pass and nothing leaves your machine.
• Docs, PDFs and images: sent to your assistant’s model, or to an API backend you configure, for a semantic pass. Upstream lists --code-only to skip them.
• Upstream states no telemetry, but logs graph queries to ~/.cache/graphify-queries.log; set GRAPHIFY_QUERY_LOG_DISABLE=1 to opt out.

Graphify or Obsidian?

They do different jobs. Obsidian is a personal notes vault you browse and write in. Graphify builds a project graph your coding agent queries through /graphify, with code mapped from the AST. If you already live in a vault, skill.md documents an optional --obsidian flag that also writes the graph as an Obsidian vault.

Before you install

• This is third-party code that registers hooks and instructions in your assistant. Read skill.md and the source before you install it.
• Listing is not a security review. AgentSkillsDir has not reviewed this code.
• Upstream also promotes a paid Graphify Cloud; it is separate from the open-source skill and not covered here.
