Curator's take
Reach for graphify when your agent burns tokens re-reading a repo to answer 'how does X connect to Y': one run writes graph.json plus a GRAPH_REPORT.md, then `graphify query`, `path` and `explain` answer from the graph, and strict mode in Claude Code redirects the session's first raw file read to it. Code extraction is free and deterministic (tree-sitter, ~40 languages, Leiden communities, zero LLM credits); docs, PDFs and video cost model tokens for the semantic pass, so a docs-heavy corpus is not free. Every edge is tagged EXTRACTED or INFERRED — trust the first, verify the second. Skip it if you want an always-on MCP code server with blast-radius tooling (code-review-graph, codebase-memory-mcp) or symbol-level edits (serena): graphify is on-demand, and the background-sync version is the paid graphify.com platform. Disclosure: StackMap's own discovery layer runs on graphify.
