Your AI Coding Agent Is Wasting Tokens
Most AI coding tools like Claude Code or Codex reread the same files every new session On large projects, that burns tokens fast and gets expensive I recently tested Graphify, and the idea is pretty smart Instead of making the AI repeatedly scan hundreds of files, Graphify builds a knowledge graph of your codebase once After that, the agent can navigate the graph directly instead of rereading everything again A few things worth knowing: - Works best on bigger repos, around 200+ files - Supports code, docs, SQL, scripts, images, and more - Automatically updates with git hooks - Open source and community-driven One thing though: donāt believe the ā70x token reductionā claims In real projects, ~8% to 20% savings is more realistic Still useful if you use AI coding tools daily Setup is straightforward: 1. Install uv 2. Run uv tool install graphify 3. Inside your project, run /graphify or if you are non-technical just tell your Claude Code to install this GRAPHIFY If you work on large codebases with AI agents every day, this is worth trying
