Summary
Graphify is an open-source tool and AI agent skill designed to reduce token consumption by up to 71.5x. It achieves this by transforming a codebase or document folder into a queryable knowledge graph. Instead of re-reading raw files, AI agents query a compressed graph, which serves as a persistent “declarative memory.” The tool integrates directly with Obsidian, following the Karpathy LLM Wiki pattern to build a structured “Second Brain.”
Key claims
- Reduces token usage by up to 71.5x through subgraph retrieval.
- Performs structural analysis locally (AST parsing) for privacy and efficiency.
- Processes multiple modalities: code, PDFs, images, and audio/video.
- Generates an interlinked Obsidian vault with provenance tagging (EXTRACTED, INFERRED, AMBIGUOUS).
- Acts as a native skill for AI agents like Claude Code and Gemini CLI.
