# Build Persistent Codebase Context Graphs with Graft

Build and maintain a repository-local context graph so coding agents can orient inside large codebases without rediscovering the same structure every session.

## Prerequisites

Node.js, npm or npx, Git, Claude Code/Codex/Cursor/Gemini or an MCP-compatible coding-agent setup

## Installation

Install or set up from the source-backed instructions:

Install with `npm install -g @nanonets/graft` or run `npx @nanonets/graft init`; use `graft init --dry-run` first to inspect planned file changes, then build and wire the graph into the selected coding-agent workflow.
