🔥 Hot Repo: 31K Stars in 18 Days — Claude Skill Cuts Context 71x
Graphify turns any folder of code, papers, and screenshots into a queryable knowledge graph using a single /graphify command in Claude Code — cutting LLM context cost by 71.5x on real-world corpora.

On April 2, 2026, Andrej Karpathy posted about the /raw folder problem: engineers drop papers, tweets, screenshots, and notes into a folder to accumulate context for LLMs, then pay full token cost to re-read that folder every session. He did not ask anyone to build a solution. Someone built one in 48 hours anyway.
That project is graphifyhttps://github.com/safishamsi/graphify, a Claude Code skill created by Safi Shamsi. It launched April 3, 2026 and crossed 31,000 GitHub stars by April 21 — roughly 1,700 stars per day over 18 days. With 3,526 forks, it is one of the fastest-growing AI coding tools of 2026.
What It Does
Type /graphify in Claude Code or any supported agent: Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot CLI, OpenClaw, Aider, and others on any folder. The skill reads all the files, extracts concepts and relationships, and writes a persistent graph.json plus a GRAPHREPORT.md that identifies the highest-degree "god nodes," surprising cross-concept connections, and four or five questions the graph is uniquely positioned to answer.
On subsequent queries the agent reads the compact graph rather than the original source files. On Karpathy's public repos combined with five papers and four images, the average query cost was 1.7k tokens versus 123k for naive full-file reading — a 71.5x reduction. Token savings are printed automatically after every run so you see the exact number for your own corpus.
Fully Multimodal
Graphify handles 25 programming languages via tree-sitter AST Python, TypeScript, Go, Rust, Java, C, C++, Swift, Kotlin, Scala, Zig, Elixir, Dart, and more. For prose it runs concept and relationship extraction through Claude. For PDFs it does citation mining. For images — screenshots, whiteboard photos, diagrams, images in non-Latin scripts — it calls Claude Vision. The same graph schema absorbs all of it into one queryable structure.
Every edge is tagged EXTRACTED, INFERRED, or AMBIGUOUS, so you always know
