🔍 Build AI-powered knowledge graphs from any codebase. Understand structure you didn't know was there.

> 💡 Origin story — This project traces back to Andrej Karpathy's tweet on using LLMs to build personal knowledge bases: ingesting raw sources, compiling them into structured Markdown wikis, and navigating knowledge through graph views instead of keyword search. That idea inspired graphify by @safishamsi, which was then showcased by @socialwithaayan — and that's what kicked off this .NET port.

graphify-dotnet reads your files (code, docs, images), extracts concepts and relationships through AST parsing and AI semantic analysis, builds a knowledge graph with community detection, and exports interactive visualizations. Navigate codebases by structure instead of keyword search.

Quick Start

1. Install

dotnet tool install -g graphify-dotnet

2. Configure

graphify config

This launches an interactive wizard with three options:

• 📋 View current configuration — see what's set
• 🔧 Set up AI provider — pick Azure OpenAI, Ollama, Copilot SDK, or None (AST-only)
• 📂 Set folder to analyze — set your default project folder and export formats

Pick your AI provider (or skip it — AST-only extraction works with zero config), then set the folder to analyze.

3. Run

graphify run

That's it. Open graphify-out/graph.html in your browser to explore the interactive graph.

Supported Languages

graphify detects and extracts structure from these file types:

| Category | Languages | |----------|-----------| | Code | C#, Python, TypeScript, JavaScript, Go, Rust, Java, C, C++, Ruby, Kotlin, Scala, PHP, Swift, R, Lua, Shell, PowerShell | | Config | YAML, JSON, TOML, XML | | Docs | Markdown, Plain Text, reStructuredText, AsciiDoc | | Media | PDF, PNG, JPEG, WebP, GIF, SVG |

No AI provider? No problem. AST-only extraction works with zero config and produces structural graphs from code — classes, functions, imports, and their relationships. AI providers add semantic extraction (conceptual connections, inferred relationships) but are completely optional.

Build from Source

git clone https://github.com/elbruno/graphify-dotnet.git
cd graphify-dotnet
