## Definition

Graphify is an open-source skill for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and 20+ other AI coding assistants that parses any folder of code, SQL schemas, docs, PDFs, or video into a single queryable knowledge graph. Local tree-sitter AST extraction and Leiden clustering replace repeated file reads with one graph lookup.

Built by London engineer Safi Shamsi and published on GitHub on April 3, 2026 as [Graphify-Labs/graphify](https://github.com/Graphify-Labs/graphify) — in the same early-April wave as Andrej Karpathy's widely-shared "LLM wiki" workflow post — the project crossed 22,000 stars within ten days, joined Y Combinator's S26 batch, and reached roughly 78,000 stars by July.

## Analogy

Think of it as building a city map before sending a courier out — one glance beats retracing every street from scratch.

## Why it's emerging now

Graphify went from a GitHub repo to a Y Combinator S26 company in three months, crossing 22,000 stars within ten days of launch and roughly 78,000 by July 2026 — riding the same 'give my agent a memory' wave as Karpathy's LLM-wiki post, with support for Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor from day one.
