SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires graphifyy, uv, and includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill solves the difficulty of understanding complex, large-scale codebases by transforming them into navigable, queryable knowledge graphs that highlight architecture, dependencies, and community cohesion.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Architecture Analysis: Automatically detects file relationships, call graphs, and dependency structures across entire projects.
  • Semantic Querying: Allows users to ask natural language questions about code logic, design patterns, and file interactions using a persistent graph.
  • Use Case: A developer joining a new project can use this skill to generate a visual and textual report of the system architecture, identifying key modules and potential bottlenecks without manually tracing every import.

Quick Start

Run the graphify skill on the current directory to build a complete knowledge graph of the codebase.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a dependency graph from a large codebase?

To generate a dependency graph from a large codebase, automated AST extraction detects file relationships and builds a persistent knowledge graph. This enables structural analysis, dependency mapping, and semantic querying across the entire project.

What is a persistent knowledge graph for codebase architecture analysis?

A persistent knowledge graph for codebase architecture is a navigable, queryable structure representing file interactions and community cohesion. It enables semantic querying to ask natural language questions about code logic and design patterns without manual tracing.

Do I need Python 3.10+ to build a codebase knowledge graph?

Yes, you need Python 3.10+ and the graphifyy package to build a codebase knowledge graph. These dependencies are required to execute the full pipeline of detection, AST extraction, and graph construction.

How do I analyze code logic and design patterns using a knowledge graph?

You analyze code logic by running semantic queries against the generated knowledge graph. This allows you to ask natural language questions about design patterns, file interactions, and module relationships without manually tracing imports.

What's the best way to understand a new project's architecture without tracing imports?

The best way to understand a new project's architecture is generating a visual and textual report from a knowledge graph. It automatically detects key modules, file relationships, and potential bottlenecks, eliminating manual import tracing.
