How Monolens is built, why, and what is planned is documented in docs/.

Knowledge graph for Claude Code (graphify)

graphify gives Claude Code a graph of the code and the docs, which it queries before searching files: the skill is in .claude/skills/graphify/, the hooks in .claude/settings.json, the rules at the end of CLAUDE.md. The graph (graphify-out/) is built on each machine and not committed. Only graphify-out/cache/semantic/ is: what the model read from the docs, so a build pays only for docs that changed. .graphifyignore keeps docs/plans/, generated code, icons and the lockfiles out of the graph.

Once per clone (pipx: sudo apt install pipx, then pipx ensurepath):

pipx install graphifyy==0.9.92

graphify hook install

Then build the graph in a Claude Code session in the repo with /graphify .. Everyone uses the same version: an upgrade can invalidate the stored doc extraction. The git hooks rebuild the code part after commit, checkout, merge and rebase, without model calls. After changing docs, run /graphify . --update in a session and commit the new files in graphify-out/cache/semantic/. Without graphify installed the hooks fail and Claude works as before.
