Quick start
npm install -g @nanonets/graft # install the CLI, once graft init # build the graph + wire it into Claude Code
That is the whole setup. graft init asks which of your coding agents to wire up, builds graft/ from your code, and drops a statusline and hooks into .claude/ , so from the next session on Graft rides along in Claude Code: it pulls the matching nodes into each prompt and rebuilds the graph in the background after every turn. No daemon, no re-indexing to remember, nothing to run or maintain by default — the graph is just files.
Nothing is written until you pick. Run graft init --dry-run to see every file it would touch first, or graft init --agents claude to skip the prompt and wire Claude Code alone.
graft build adds graft/ to your .gitignore automatically — the graph is a local, regenerable cache (like node_modules ), not something you commit. What you share is the wiring init dropped into .claude/ ; each teammate runs graft build to generate their own graph:
git add .claude && git commit -m " wire in graft "
Prefer not to install globally? npx @nanonets/graft init works the same way.
The problem
Every task, your coding agent starts blind. Before it changes anything, it re-explores the repo: grep a term, open a file, follow an import, back out, try again. It is rebuilding a picture of a codebase it mapped an hour ago and threw away. That rediscovery burns most of a run's tool calls, tokens, and latency, and it is pure overhead:
