# ctxrs/graf

> Graf is a Rust rewrite of a code-graph tool that builds a graph of your codebase and docs, acting as a local alternative to Sourcegraph. It indexes code into SQLite so agents can quickly trace relationships between symbols: who calls a function, what depends on it, and what breaks when it changes.

## Useful for

- Index a repository and find all callers of a function via graf impact
- Connect Graf's read-only MCP server to Codex or Claude Code for agent code navigation
- Import an existing Graphify graph with graf switch and update only changed files

## Why it’s here

- 0 stars so far today, about 9 expected by the end of the day.
- The spike has held for 2 days in a row — not a one-off blip.
- The repository is 7 days old and already has 14 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

## Numbers

- Forks: 0
- Issues and pull requests: 19
- Watchers: 1
- Average over the last week: 3 per day
- Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks)
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 2
- Latest release: v0.6.0 (2026-09-22)

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
