SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill prevents agents from misusing the Graphify knowledge graph by teaching when to query it, which tool to use, and how to interpret results safely and within token limits.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Graph-first structural discovery: Directs agents to use Graphify MCP tools for structural questions like dependency mapping, clusters/communities, and shortest paths between concepts.
  • Tool decision guidance: Provides a practical rule-of-thumb for choosing graph queries vs grep/reading files when accuracy or freshness is required.
  • Result interpretation discipline: Enforces citation of source_location and correct handling of EXTRACTED vs INFERRED vs AMBIGUOUS relationships.

Quick Start

Use the graphify-usage skill when you need to answer a structural question about the repo from the Graphify graph, such as “what connects module A to module B?” or “which community does file F belong to?”.

FAQPage Schema
How do I analyze codebase dependencies using a knowledge graph?

Codebase dependency analysis using a knowledge graph involves querying the Graphify MCP tools to map structural connections, trace shortest paths between modules, and identify community clusters while enforcing strict token budgeting for safe result interpretation.

When should I use graph queries instead of grep for codebase analysis?

You should use graph queries instead of grep for codebase analysis when you need to answer structural questions like dependency mapping or community clustering with high accuracy, whereas grep is better suited for simple text freshness checks.

How do I handle token budgeting when querying a code graph?

Token budgeting when querying a code graph requires disciplined MCP tool selection and strict depth limitations to prevent exceeding token limits, ensuring you safely interpret structural relationships without overwhelming the context window.

How do I interpret confidence tags in knowledge graph results?

Interpreting confidence tags in knowledge graph results requires distinguishing between EXTRACTED, INFERRED, and AMBIGUOUS relationships, and consistently citing the source_location to maintain result interpretation discipline during codebase analysis.

Can I trace the shortest path between modules in a codebase?

Yes, you can trace the shortest path between modules in a codebase by applying Graphify MCP tools specifically designed for path tracing and structural discovery, provided you manage token depth budgeting to avoid stale graph data.

What are the limitations of using a knowledge graph for codebase analysis?

A key limitation of using a knowledge graph for codebase analysis is the risk of relying on stale graph data, which requires disciplined tool selection and consistent interpretation rules to safely manage EXTRACTED versus INFERRED relationship accuracy.
