# /graphify

Turn any folder of files into a navigable knowledge graph with community detection, an honest audit trail, and three outputs: interactive HTML, GraphRAG-ready JSON, and a plain-language GRAPH_REPORT.md.

## Usage

```
/graphify                                             # full pipeline on current directory (HTML viz; add --obsidian for a vault)
/graphify <path>                                      # full pipeline on specific path
/graphify https://github.com/<owner>/<repo>           # clone repo then run full pipeline on it
/graphify https://github.com/<owner>/<repo> --branch <branch>  # clone a specific branch
/graphify <url1> <url2> ...                           # clone multiple repos, build each, merge into one cross-repo graph
/graphify <path> --mode deep                          # thorough extraction, richer INFERRED edges
/graphify <path> --update                             # incremental - re-extract only new/changed files
/graphify <path> --directed                            # build directed graph (preserves edge direction: source→target)
/graphify <path> --whisper-model medium                # use a larger Whisper model for better transcription accuracy
/graphify <path> --cluster-only                       # rerun clustering on existing graph
/graphify <path> --no-viz                             # skip visualization, just report + JSON
/graphify <path> --html                               # (HTML is generated by default - this flag is a no-op)
/graphify <path> --svg                                # also export graph.svg (embeds in Notion, GitHub)
/graphify <path> --graphml                            # export graph.graphml (Gephi, yEd)
/graphify <path> --neo4j                              # generate graphify-out/cypher.txt for Neo4j
/graphify <path> --neo4j-push bolt://localhost:7687   # push directly to Neo4j
/graphify <path> --falkordb                           # generate graphify-out/cypher.txt for FalkorDB
/graphify <path> --falkordb-push falkordb://localhost:6379   # push directly to FalkorDB
/graphify <path> --mcp                                # start MCP stdio server for agent access
/graphify <path> --watch                              # watch folder, auto-rebuild on code changes (no LLM needed)
/graphify <path> --wiki                               # build agent-crawlable wiki (index.md + one article per community)
/graphify <path> --obsidian --obsidian-dir ~/vaults/my-project  # write vault to custom path (e.g. existing vault)
/graphify add <url>                                   # fetch URL, save to ./raw, update graph
/graphify add <url> --author "Name"                   # tag who wrote it
/graphify add <url> --contributor "Name"              # tag who added it to the corpus
/graphify query "<question>"                          # BFS traversal - broad context
/graphify query "<question>" --dfs                    # DFS - trace a specific path
/graphify query "<question>" --budget 1500            # cap answer at N tokens
/graphify path "AuthModule" "Database"                # shortest path between two concepts
/graphify explain "SwinTransformer"                   # plain-language explanation of a node
```

## What graphify is for

Drop any folder of code, docs, papers, images, or video into graphify and get a queryable knowledge graph. Persistent across sessions, honest audit trail (EXTRACTED/INFERRED/AMBIGUOUS), community detection surfaces cross-document connections you wouldn't think to ask about.

## What You Must Do When Invoked

If the user invoked `/graphify --help` or `/graphify -h` (with no other arguments), print the contents of the `## Usage` section above verbatim and stop. Do not run any commands, do not detect files, do not default the path to `.`. Just print the Usage block and return.

**Fast path — existing graph:** Before doing anything else, check whether `graphify-out/graph.json` exists. The expected location is `graphify-out/graph.json` relative to the **current working directory** (i.e. the project root where you are running commands). If it exists AND the user's request is a natural-language question about the codebase (e.g. "How does X work?", "What calls Y?", "Trace the data flow through Z") and NOT an explicit rebuild command (`--update`, `--cluster-only`, or a bare path/URL that implies fresh extraction): **skip Steps 1–5 entirely and jump straight to `## For /graphify query`.** Run `graphify query "<question>"` immediately. Do not run detect. Do not check corpus size. Do not ask the user to narrow. The graph is already built — use it.

If no path was given, use `.` (current directory). Do not ask the user for a path.

If the path argument starts with `https://github.com/` or `http://github.com/`, treat it as a GitHub URL - run Step 0 before anything else, then continue with the resolved local path.

Follow these steps in order. Do not skip steps.

### Step 0 - GitHub repos and multi-path merge (only if a URL or several paths)

Only when the path is one or more `https://github.com/...` URLs, or several local subfolders to merge. See `references/github-and-merge.md` for the clone, cross-repo merge, and monorepo flow, then continue with the resolved local path. A plain local path skips this step.

### Step 1 - Ensure graphify is installed

```bash
# Detect the correct Python interpreter (handles uv tool, pipx, venv, system installs)
PYTHON=""
GRAPHIFY_BIN=$(which graphify 2>/dev/null)
# 1. uv tool installs — most reliable on modern Mac/Linux
if [ -z "$PYTHON" ] && command -v uv >/dev/null 2>&1; then
    _UV_PY=$(uv tool run --from graphifyy python -c "import sys; print(sys.executable)" 2>/dev/null)
    if [ -n "$_UV_PY" ]; then PYTHON="$_UV_PY"; fi
fi
# 2. Read shebang from graphify binary (pipx and direct pip installs)
if [ -z "$PYTHON" ] && [ -n "$GRAPHIFY_BIN" ]; then
    _SHEBANG=$(head -1 "$GRAPHIFY_BIN" | tr -d '#!')
    case "$_SHEBANG" in
        *[!a-zA-Z0-9/_.@-]*) ;;
        *) "$_SHEBANG" -c "import graphify" 2>/dev/null && PYTHON="$_SHEBANG" ;;
    esac
fi
# 3. Fall back to python3
if [ -z "$PYTHON" ]; then PYTHON="python3"; fi
if ! "$PYTHON" -c "import graphify" 2>/dev/null; then
    if command -v uv >/dev/null 2>&1; then
        uv tool install --upgrade graphifyy -q 2>&1 | tail -3
        _UV_PY=$(uv tool run --from graphifyy python -c "import sys; print(sys.executable)" 2>/dev/null)
        if [ -n "$_UV_PY" ]; then PYTHON="$_UV_PY"; fi
    else
        "$PYTHON" -m pip install graphifyy -q 2>/dev/null \
          || "$PYTHON" -m pip install graphifyy -q --break-system-packages 2>&1 | tail -3
    fi
fi
# Write interpreter path for all subsequent steps (persists across invocations)
mkdir -p graphify-out
"$PYTHON" -c "import sys; open('graphify-out/.graphify_python', 'w', encoding='utf-8').write(sys.executable)"
# Save scan root so `graphify update` (no args) knows where to look next time
echo "$(cd INPUT_PATH && pwd)" > graphify-out/.graphify_root
```

If the import succeeds, print nothing and move straight to Step 2.

**In every subsequent bash block, replace `python3` with `$(cat graphify-out/.graphify_python)` to use the correct interpreter.**

### Step 2 - Detect files

```bash
$(cat graphify-out/.graphify_python) -c "
import json
from graphify.detect import detect
from pathlib import Path
result = detect(Path('INPUT_PATH'))
print(json.dumps(result, ensure_ascii=False))
" > graphify-out/.graphify_detect.json
```

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:

```
Corpus: X files · ~Y words
  code:     N files (.py .ts .go ...)
  docs:     N files (.md .txt ...)
