Graphify Explain — Understand a Node's Role

Get a plain-language explanation of any node in the knowledge graph and its neighbors. Use when the user says "explain node", "what is this function", "what does X connect to", or wants to understand a specific symbol's role in the codebase.

Prerequisites

Graph must already be built (graphify-out/graph.json must exist). If not, run dontbmad-graphify first.

Usage

uvx --from graphifyy graphify explain "<node_name>"

Options

Flag	Description
--graph <path>	Path to graph.json (default graphify-out/graph.json)

Finding node names

Node names come from the graph. Check graphify-out/GRAPH_REPORT.md for the god nodes list and community members, or run a query first to discover node labels.

Examples

# Explain a core function
uvx --from graphifyy graphify explain "request"

# Explain a component
uvx --from graphifyy graphify explain "AuthGuard"

# Explain a utility
uvx --from graphifyy graphify explain "convertKeys"

# Explain a class
uvx --from graphifyy graphify explain "GitLabApiError"

When to use

• Before modifying a function — understand what depends on it
• During code review — quickly grasp a symbol's role without reading source
• Story creation — gather context about modules referenced in the story
