## graphify
This project has a knowledge graph at graphify-out/ with god nodes, community structure, and cross-file relationships.
When the user types `/graphify`, use the installed graphify skill or instructions before doing anything else.
Rules:
- For codebase questions, first run `graphify query "<question>"` when graphify-out/graph.json exists. Use `graphify path "<A>" "<B>"` for relationships and `graphify explain "<concept>"` for focused concepts. These return a scoped subgraph, usually much smaller than GRAPH_REPORT.md or raw grep output.
- Dirty graphify-out/ files are expected after hooks or incremental updates; dirty graph files are not a reason to skip graphify. Only skip graphify if the task is about stale or incorrect graph output, or the user explicitly says not to use it.
- If graphify-out/wiki/index.md exists, use it for broad navigation instead of raw source browsing.
- Read graphify-out/GRAPH_REPORT.md only for broad architecture review or when query/path/explain do not surface enough context.
- After modifying code, run `graphify update .` to keep the graph current (AST-only, no API cost).

## Use Graphify before grep
This repository is indexed by Graphify: a code graph over its call, dependency, and test structure, exposed through a connected Graphify MCP server. Before reaching for grep or reading files, use the Graphify tools your MCP client lists (their exact names and descriptions are in the server's tool list) for what the graph knows and a text search does not:
- find where a symbol, function, or class is defined (instead of grepping for it)
- understand how something works, or where a behavior is handled
- find who calls a function, or what it calls
- see what a change affects (its blast radius) and which tests cover it
- map a file's dependencies and dependents
Fall back to grep or file reads only for what the graph does not model: literal string or comment matches, non-indexed files, or reading a file you have already located. If no Graphify tools are listed, check the MCP server connection.
