# @gaodes/pi-graphify

Turn any folder of files (code, docs, papers, images, video) into a queryable knowledge graph with community detection, an honest audit trail, and three outputs: interactive HTML, GraphRAG-ready JSON, and a plain-language GRAPH_REPORT.md.

Inspired by [graphify](https://github.com/safishamsi/graphify) — the AI coding assistant skill. This extension wraps graphify's Python CLI for native Pi integration.

It also bundles a `graphify` skill (`skills/graphify/SKILL.md`) for full-pipeline orchestration. Use `/skill:graphify` when you want the guided multi-step workflow; use the tools and `/graphify` command for fast operational calls.

## Tools

| Tool               | Description                                                                                      |
| ------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `graphify_build`   | Build a knowledge graph from a directory (full pipeline: detect → extract → cluster → visualize) |
| `graphify_query`   | Query the graph — BFS for broad context, DFS for tracing specific paths                          |
| `graphify_path`    | Find the shortest path between two concepts in the graph                                         |
| `graphify_explain` | Plain-language explanation of a node — everything connected to it                                |
| `graphify_add`     | Fetch a URL and add it to the corpus, then update the graph                                      |
| `graphify_update`  | Incremental update — re-extract only changed files                                               |
| `graphify_watch`   | Watch a directory for changes, auto-rebuild graph on code edits                                  |
| `graphify_cluster` | Re-run community detection on an existing graph (no re-extraction)                               |

## Commands

| Command     | Description                                                        |
| ----------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `/graphify` | Single entry point with autocomplete for all subcommands and flags |

/graphify query "<question>"                  # BFS traversal — broad context
/graphify query "<question>" --dfs            # DFS — trace a specific path
/graphify query "<question>" --budget 1500    # cap answer at N tokens
/graphify path "ConceptA" "ConceptB"          # shortest path between two concepts
/graphify explain "ConceptName"               # plain-language explanation of a node
/graphify add <url>                           # fetch URL, save to ./raw, update graph
/graphify add <url> --author "Name"           # tag who wrote it
/graphify update <path>                       # incremental update
/graphify watch <path>                        # watch folder, auto-rebuild on changes
/graphify cluster                             # rerun clustering on existing graph
/graphify hook install                        # install git hooks for auto-rebuild
/graphify hook uninstall                      # remove git hooks
/graphify hook status                         # check hook status
```

## Prerequisites

- Python 3.10+
- `graphifyy` package (auto-installed on first run): `pip install graphifyy` or `uv tool install graphifyy`

## Install

```bash
pi install @gaodes/pi-graphify
```

## Configuration

Key: `pi-graphify` in `prime-settings.json` (legacy `graphify` key auto-migrates on load).

| Setting      | Type      | Default           | Description                           |
| ------------ | --------- | ----------------- | ------------------------------------- |
| `enabled`    | `boolean` | `true`            | Enable/disable the extension          |
| `pythonPath` | `string`  | `"python3"`       | Path to Python interpreter            |
| `outputDir`  | `string`  | `"graphify-out"`  | Output directory name                 |
| `statusbar`  | `object`  | built-in defaults | Optional pi-statusbar widget settings |

## Git tracking policy

On build initialization, the extension ensures `.gitignore` exists and applies Graphify-specific rules:

- keeps `graphify-out/` **tracked**
- ignores only:
  - `graphify-out/cache/`
  - `graphify-out/.graphify_python`
  - `graphify-out/.graphify_root`
  - `graphify-out/cost.json`

If a legacy `graphify-out/` ignore entry exists, it is removed automatically.
