Key Points

Graphify turns any repository into a queryable knowledge graph, giving Claude Code more accurate answers at a fraction of the token cost. ~60,000 GitHub stars, open source and free.

• Why it matters: normally AI coding assistants grep through files (like Ctrl-F). Graphify gives Claude a map — classes, functions, imports, call graphs, and the why behind connections — so it answers repo questions without scanning everything.
• Token savings: some claim up to 70x; Chase found it lower but still significant.
• How it works — three passes:
  1. Code structure (free, deterministic): a tree-sitter parser extracts classes, functions, imports, call graphs, inline comments. Runs locally, no LLM. 2–3. Further passes (LLM-assisted) enrich semantic connections.
• Works with any AI coding assistant (demoed with Claude Code); handles code, docs, PDFs, images, video. Conceptually similar to GraphRAG.
