# Graphify Explain Like I'm 5 Wiki

> Graphify turns folders of code, docs, media, and notes into a queryable knowledge graph with reports, exports, assistant skills, and optional model backends. This structure is source-backed by repository code; graphify-out/GRAPH_REPORT.md, STRATEGY.md, and docs/solutions were not present in this checkout.

This is a Grok-Wiki source-grounded repository wiki. Use the complete Markdown link when an agent needs the full repo context.

## Pages

- [Explain It Simply](https://grok-wiki.com/public/wiki/safishamsi-graphify-af19ef9fd72d/pages/01-explain-it-simply.md): What Graphify does in plain language: it reads a pile of project material, finds the named things and relationships, and draws a map that agents and humans can query later.
- [First Run & Assistant Setup](https://grok-wiki.com/public/wiki/safishamsi-graphify-af19ef9fd72d/pages/02-first-run-assistant-setup.md): The smallest useful path from installing graphifyy to running graphify, registering assistant skills, and understanding why project-scoped installs stay portable across coding agents.
- [What Gets Put In The Box](https://grok-wiki.com/public/wiki/safishamsi-graphify-af19ef9fd72d/pages/03-what-gets-put-in-the-box.md): How Graphify decides which files count, skips sensitive or noisy inputs, converts Office and Google Workspace files, handles transcripts, and caches work for later runs.
- [How Files Become Tiny Facts](https://grok-wiki.com/public/wiki/safishamsi-graphify-af19ef9fd72d/pages/04-how-files-become-tiny-facts.md): The extraction stage: tree-sitter reads code, optional semantic extraction reads richer context, validation keeps the shape consistent, and provider-neutral backends support BYOC and BYOK choices.
- [How Facts Become A Map](https://grok-wiki.com/public/wiki/safishamsi-graphify-af19ef9fd72d/pages/05-how-facts-become-a-map.md): How extracted nodes and edges become a NetworkX graph, get deduplicated, clustered, analyzed, and exported as graph.json, graph.html, GRAPH_REPORT.md, wiki output, and call-flow HTML.
- [Ask The Map, Keep It Fresh](https://grok-wiki.com/public/wiki/safishamsi-graphify-af19ef9fd72d/pages/06-ask-the-map-keep-it-fresh.md): The closing page: remember Graphify as a reusable project map, then use query, path, explain, MCP, global graphs, update, and watch flows to keep that map useful after the first build.
