The fastest way to use Graphify Local is as a skill inside your coding agent. You install it once, type /graphify ., and the agent builds the graph and reads GRAPH_REPORT.md before it answers questions about your code.
Use the skill when you work in Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, or another agent that supports skills, and you want the agent to drive extraction for you. If you only want terminal commands, follow the CLI quickstart.

​
Before you start

  • Python 3.10 or later
  • A coding agent that graphify install supports (Claude Code is the default)

​
Build your first graph

1

Install the package

The package is graphifyy (two y’s). It installs the graphify and graphify-mcp commands.
2

Install the skill

With no flag, this targets Claude Code. It copies the skill to ~/.claude/skills/graphify/SKILL.md and registers it in ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md. For another agent, pass --platform, for example graphify install --platform codex.
3

Run it in your agent

Open your agent in the repository and type:
The agent runs detection, extraction, and clustering, then summarises the report. Code is parsed locally. Documents, papers, and images go through the agent’s own model.
4

Ask a question

The skill traverses the graph and returns only the nodes and edges that answer the question, trimmed to a token budget.

​
What changes in your repository

After the first run you’ll find a graphify-out/ folder:
Open graph.html in a browser to explore the graph. Commit graph.json and GRAPH_REPORT.md if you want teammates and CI to share the same graph; add cache/ to .gitignore.

​
Useful skill commands

​
Verify it worked

You should see the five most connected symbols in your code. If the command says it can’t find a graph, run it from the folder that contains graphify-out/, or pass --graph graphify-out/graph.json.
Restart the agent so it reloads skills. For Claude Code, check that ~/.claude/skills/graphify/SKILL.md exists. For other agents, re-run graphify install --platform <name>.
Yes. Run graphify extract . --code-only from a terminal. It builds the code graph with no model calls.
Run graphify uninstall. Add --purge to also delete graphify-out/ in the current folder.
