Graft
By Nanonets
Open-source CLI from Nanonets, MIT-licensed with roughly 6,700 GitHub stars and about 5,300 npm downloads a week, that reads a repository once and writes a folder of linked plain-English notes describing each system and how it connects, then feeds that map to Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or Gemini through MCP and session hooks so the agent stops rediscovering the codebase on every task.
Best for
- cutting the tool calls and tokens an agent spends re-exploring a repository
- onboarding a coding agent to a large or unfamiliar codebase
- queries answered against the working tree, uncommitted edits included
- a local code map with no server, database, or embedding index to maintain
- wiring the same context setup into a whole team through committed agent config
- Sep 9, 2026Added to the coding category: Nanonets code-context CLI that writes a repository map as linked plain-English notes and serves it to coding agents over MCP and hooks. Related to Graphify in the catalogue but a separate product and mechanism: Graft writes prose nodes as a regenerable local cache rebuilt against the working tree, where Graphify exposes a tree-sitter knowledge graph queried for file-and-line citations.
